Free-to-play based on teamplay and tactics.

Er... yeah. Either it's some PSU related thing (which I'd highly doubt tbh.) or it's the much more common overheating issue: Bad air circulation, weak heatsinks, failing g'card vent. While artifacts may come due to undervoltage (actualy the game would mostly crash then as data would get lost, not mi...

After reading your "underclocking" post and seeing that pic I'd say your g'card simply overheats. My R9700 showed some very similar weirdness when the cooler was badly fixed. If the card's new, give it back and have it replaced or let the guys at the shop make sure the cooler's mounted rig...

Indeed. Next best price I've found would be over 50€ higher.

Well, noise reduction. He's building a livingroom media PC that should still be good enough to play 3D games. I'm running my 9700 with those huge heatsinks and an 80 vent at 5V. Clost to no noise and the card never even get's warm.

Well but if you can play for some time then it can hardly be a driver issue for if it were, you would most probably not be able to play at all. What still puzzles me though is that you say you can play fine when using a different screen. Quite weird. :? Tubes, the 9800 aint slow. I'm still playing w...

So did you try cleaning your rig with drivercleaner and then re-install the video drivers from scratch?

P.S.: As written in one of your links, BF needs a 800*600 rez for the menu. Did you test wether your display can do that (e.g. by selecting 800*600 for desktop)?

Dude, that's definitelly the first time that I've hear about a display making a game crash. I'm not even sure if that's technically possible. :roll: But even if it is, then it's quite definitelly not ATI's fault but whoevermadeyourdisplay's fault. Did you seriously clean your pc from old drivers bef...

Yeah, all that talk about how Ati drivers and whatnot sucks ... kids, I've been on both sides of the river and let me tell you, there aint much difference. Some driver versions will always be sucky while others will shine. Seen that with Nvidia and with Ati. BUT, that doesn't change that 6600GT>R980...

Takes a bit more to offend me.

If you can lower it to 550kb then that's not too bad. I can't just dl the gif for resizing it though, gif's can't be reverse engineered, so I'd need the source file (from photoshop or whatever you used).

Note to self: Stop reasoning with kids.

All I wanted to demonstrate is that my sig above has a lot more colours and a lot more layers yet is only somewhat over 500kb. So there's no reason yours should have to be 3 times as big. Besides, many forums limit the max kb size of sigs just as well. So if you whish to use yours, you better have a...

It's ok but why on earth is it 1.5mb big!? 8O If you want, upload the source file and I'll see if I can optimize it for you, shouldn't be anyhow problematic. E.g. my old (now banned as with over 500kb way to big) fpscentral (now ampeddx or whatever) sig: http://homepage.hispeed.ch/chicky/gc/globalco...

BFE -> GrimReaper pulled me over here.

What brings up an interesting question: Anyone heard of Grim lately? It's been ages since he last posted here.
Man, i miss his ugly sig.
