Missing/Bugged water on most games.

[snail19]

This has been driving me insane. On alot of my games the water textures are well.. fucked. On COD:WAW the water textures are missing only at certain angels. Its like the 'dirt' on my screen allows me to see water whilst the 'clean' bits on my screen show bugged water... heres a screenie (resized for forums)

Notice how the water texture is showing only in some sections whilst others show no water and the bottom of the sea. This has been happing with alot of games.

Ive re-installed drivers. rebooted my computer and even re installed the game (back on first mission ) Ive tried google but nothing seems to help.

Oh and here is my system specs. Maybe its time to upgrade my cards

its video card related, either try another driver, if not the latest then maybe a older driver, though i know the game is picky. if this only happened in multiplayer i would say its your connection possibly, but since its happening on most games. either your card barely supports all the features being used to render, or its possibly overheating or defective, drivers can cause a lot of problems, but sometimes its heat or hardware failure. The 9500gt is not that strong of a card though and could possibly be your problem, id say check the official forums for the game and see if it pops up. or google missing water for the game and see if that helps, if not try the forums for the video card maker and see if anything there. its a longshot.
