I started having problems with the images changing while playing SS2. Pics below show before and after examples of the problems I'm having. I RMA the card and received another still having the same problems after a few days of game play. Now using a 7900GTXOC with the same drivers none of the image changes occur. System specs are in the sig, psu Blue Storm AX500. All on a new install of Vista32.

9600gso stock, temps 45-50c, 178.24

I did notice at higher temps and in different maps; different image changes happen ie. shadows changes, sidewalks change color etc. Anyone tell what this is? Another bad card?
 
That's weird. It's like the wrong textures are being displayed. Since you say it doesn't happen with other cards, it would seem like the card is the issue here. I would try reinstalling the game first though and see if that helps. If not, then I guess it's RMA time.
 
could be mobo drivers driving the PCI-E bus

i remeber way back i needed VIA4in1 AGP drivers to run my tnt2 without corrupting graphics in OpenGL.

It's odd the whole first of the game was fine then all of a sudden this happens. I'll work on reinstalling the game tonight. Sad just got through a RMA, hate spending another $10 for shipping.

I've updated to the latest driver on Asus site other than the bios which is a modded Kent.
 
That happened to me with Operation Flashpoint. That ended up being a driver settings issue.

You remember what setting? Both settings were the same except I couldn't enable HDR with AA on the 7900GTX but could with the 9600. I believe that was a driver issue with 7900 series.
 
I reinstalled the game last night and still have the same problems. Drivers, psu (dmm), and basic install check out fine.
 
I have a better question....

...why are you playing Serious Sam 2?

lol.

I had this problem once before.... I just changed my AGP Aperature settings (obviously not applicable here) and the problem was solved.

No you have a piss poor question and a sorry ass response which does nothing to help me or find an answer to the problem at hand.
