What's the rest of your specs and what driver do you use ?

Blackburn4717537: Have you tried unofficial drivers ?

P4 2.66
1.5 gig ram
newest fx driver called forceware 162.18 whql ( have no clue bout pc stuff)
I had got rid of it for a while by shutin down explorer and running pr from task but since I had tried out installing and deinstalling FRAPS ( my pc cant handle it) it has started again. real pain.
sorry OP for hijacking your thread with a diffrent gfx issue.

Several possibilities. Often black textures/f*cked up polys are caused by the ram on your card crapping out on you, but since the card is new i highly doubt that. Or its your shaders.

1.)shader cache, clear the damn thing every time you start BF2-shader cache is located in mydocuments/bf2/mods/cache (delete the cache folder) Sure it takes like 2 minutes more to load the first map, but then the game performs better/no stupid flickering

2.)ram on card not being cooled/too much overclock, but i dont think thats your problem.

3.)lighting options in BF2-try with different lighting settings, medium, high,etc


Im running a 8800GTS 320, and im using 162.18 drivers. 1280x1024, all settings high, dyn. shadows and lighting off, 8x AA. Just turn on color correction in your nvida control panel and it looks damn pretty, plus good perf.

Its not a driver problem, im sure of it.

Good luck

Tried all that, and the flickering happens even with freshly optimized shaders. Messed with all the lighting options and every other option for that matter.

But also last night i stuck my video card in my friends machine did a fresh install of windows and installed bf2 and pr and the problem magically went away, so it's not my video card. His machines specs differ from mine quite a bit, He's using a core 2 duo with a gigabyte board that has an Intel chipset. So this leading me to believe that it's a problem with the two chipsets I'm using (Nforce 4 sli, Via KT 800) both were released at basically the same time and that leaves me to believe they are very similar in architecture and somehow causing this problem. In a couple of paydays i think I'm going to bite the bullet i pick up a new motherboard and processor.

Be sure and install the latest via 4-in-1 driver beforte spending good money.

Uh.. Yeah i know that lol. Besides the via is on my spare machine. It's using an AGP ati card not really worried if it flickers or not. And before someone else says it, i've installed the latest Nforce package for the nvidia chipset as well.

Thanks for looking out for me though

So any solution ? Flickering when looking with glasses, at almost every map, casue every map now is with high draw distance..8800GTS..latest driver

tried all and everythink..all options hours of testing..nothing..its eye crap...

perhaps a dev or a coder can tell us whta do to ??
