Something wrong with my eVGA 8800GT?

I have noticed in Halo 2 Vista and Battlefield 2 that the models seem wavy like the weapons you hold will seem like they are made of liquid kind of. It's very subtle but I can see the models changing. Anyone had this before?

No I haven't. It could be a future driver fix.
 
Do please, i'm interested in what you're talking about.
 
What are your graphics settings in game like, it seems to be doing that whenever something moves.
 
With Halo it's simply poor sub pixel accuracy of the polygon coordinates. Quake II (and SiN as a result) suffered from it quite badly.

In BF2 I don't think it occurs as much, but you can see artifcacts from a low z-buffer depth. The z-buffer holds coordinate info for polygons and typically in games it means you'll see objects through walls on distant buildings when it's done badly, or decals flickering on the floor when you move.


It's normal so nothing to worry about.
 
I don't remember it doing it on my old rig with a GeForce 6600 though on WinXP. Is there any reason in particular it's doing this now instead of before? Drivers?
 
My BF2 also does what Halo 2 Vista does a long distances away. It also seems that in BF2 if you're in an area with a lot of stuff like buildings and grass and everything it doesn't seem to do it as much.
 
It's weird tho. It must be some kind of driver issue. I noticed that some bullet decals in CS 1.6 do it too and it seems CoD4 on some maps when you look at objects from really far away with a sniper scope, you see them flickering. The other day too I got these artifacts on a 50 player server. First time ever getting stuff this bad:

What type of monitor do you have? is it at 75HZ? what AA setting do you set the game on? or do you have your nvidia control panel and game runing AA at the same time?do you need a DVI cable to improve your speed?
 
I have a CRT at 85 Hz. 1280x1024. It seems to be set to application control. In CoD4 I have everything maxxed and I have AA at X4 and I think the aniso bar i have it slid in the right direction so thats maxed to. The texture filtering is set to auto. For every other game I try to max everything. When I can I put Vsync on.
