ok well, i play black ops when i dont have anything better to do. recently ive been getting artifacts while playing this game. i play at 1280x720 even though my monitor's native res is 1680x1050. so here the problem, i can play about 3-4 rounds TDM without anything wrong. then i start getting artifacts and the game stops responding or i get a directX error and have to close the blackops.exe process and restart the game. once i restart it it runs fine for another 3-4 maps then it will load to the next map with tons of artifacts. the ONLY time i get artifacts is after loading a new map. my temps are fine (50c max), ive tried different drivers, and different resolutions with no fix insight.

my rig:
Asus m4a785tdv-evo
AMD phenom II x2 545 @ x4 3.6ghz
3GB ddr3 1333 RAM
9600gt
400W FSP psu.

a thing i notice, i can tell when its gonna artifact, the loading screen between maps takes about 10-15 longer than normal, then once the map appears it will artifact 100% of the time.


one thing to note, any other game i play is perfectly fine (BC2,BF2,dead rising 2, GTA IV. TF2 and CS:S) no artifact's what so ever.

if anyone has some suggestions i would love to hear them.

Thanks!!
 
yeah ive tried new drivers. ive also tried some older driver with no luck. im stumped here :(
 
just updated to june 2010 version. still getting artifacts after a few map changes. this stinks. i might re-install the game.
