EVGA 8800GT KO = Corruption Issues?

[thatbiggbadwolfy]

This is my EVGA KO on stock 675/1975 with the original cooling. I've had so much trouble with this card, even with the fan on 70%-100%. Is anyone else getting these issues? It looks like memory corruption.

This and the nvlddmkm driver issue in Vista...

That looks like a classic Valve-Source engine bug. I've owned MANY video cards and system set-ups over the years, and those purple artifacts are very common, especially in CounterStrike Source.


A reboot or a re-install usually clears them up though.


I don't know if that's the Source engine or not...I don't own the game.

That's not corruption. Those are just missing textures. The fault is with your TFC, verify the integrity of files or check with Steam forums for bugs/tech support.

No wonder you were getting 104fps.... must be a driver bug

I can do that with a lot of my video cards/pcs.

alt-tab can create that. drivers. restarting vid-settings in game, restarting sound settings in game... all sorts of things can make it do that. I dont think its video card corruption though.

Whats the green bar on the left?

 

[thatbiggbadwolfy]

Hmm I fixed the corruption error by verifying the install, updating, then restarting. The green bar is the SLI indicator. if it's longer, it means SLI is being used more. If it stays at the middle, then SLI isn't used.

LOL usually I get about 120fps in that game on 1920*1200; sometimes in the tunnels it goes to 190fps. TF2 finally got multithreaded and a SLI profile heh.

you just have to alt+tab out then back in when that happens.
