Graphics are tearing

[pugwash35]

Not sure wwhat its called but when i play medal of honour with my geforce 8500 when i turn around the thing doesnt look at all good, i think its called tearing like its struggling to keep up. this is on both the highjest level of detail and near the lowest. also certain features dont llok right like shutters they kinda flicker??

any ideas??

It could be any number of things causeing this. Most likely it's driver compatability issues. Make sure the AGP card has the most up to date drivers installed. Other things that come to mind right away are bad RAM on the vid card, or perhaps a bad copy of the game. If the vid RAM was going bad though you would see it in more places than just in game.
Give us more information on your system and I think one of us can help ya better. RAM, vid card type, CPU speed....ect..

Is it a GeForce or a Radeon as I have not come across any GeForce cards with the 8500 behind them?

[pugwash35]

yeh sorry!! A radeon 8500!!

its an le le i think as it has samsung 4ns ram with a clock speed of only 220 mhz. its get about 8000 on 3d mark 2001 se, the games a normal copy, got drivers 6058.

might return in to e buyer, only bouhgt it about two weeks ago, should swap it for the geforce 4400 for the same price?!!

oh yeh got xp pro, xp 1700+ cpu, 256 ddr, um mb soltek drv 4

I would keep the 8500LE over a GF4 MX440 IMO.

Use the latest OFFICIAL (not leaked) drivers (6043) which are fine on Medal of Honour (I have no problems on a 32Mb Radeon SDR OEM) and disable Wait for V-Synch under the ATI tabs in display properties. Also set the OpenGL performance to Quality rather than performance.

its not a geforce 4 mx is the real thing, onm ebuyer for 150 not 250. will have to check it out
anyway cheers

If he is talking about the Ti then it whips the 8500 big time, but the 8500 kicks the hell outta the MX series!

As for the tearing issue, it may have something to do with Vsync being turned off

If you can get a Ti4400 for the same price as the 8500LE then you have either been seriously ripped off on the 8500LE or they have made a pricing mistake on the Ti4400 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

I used to notice traring when I overclocked my card/cpu too high. If you have either oc'd, set them back to defaults and check the game again.
