Call of Duty and ATI?

I'm not sure if this is an ATI issue or something else but heres the deal, when I play COD, for some reasons some of the textures dont display and I can see right through objects and sometimes textures appear where they shouldnt obstructing my view. I'm using the latest drivers available on ATI's site, but issues still exist.

Im using a 9800XT if it matters.

Anyone else have this?

I don't think i'm on the latest, but i don't have that issue at all. I've SEEN it once, and only once and that was on a custom made level. 9600 Pro with 2.4.96c Omega drivers (6.14.10.6396 for the ATI version)

No RD, I've NEVER had that problem, the "glitch i had" was when almost all texturs on the MAP disapeared, but i could still see my gun and such fine. Have you tried the omega drivers?

It worked, whoever said ATI makes good drivers must me smoking something....pretty bad when a single person with limited resources has to fix the mistakes made by mega-corps :rolleyes:

Well, even he can't get the nVIDIA drivers to work well compared to what he's done with the ATI drivers. So.... ATI DOES have better drivers, but like everything else, nothing is perfect.

Uh, Nvidia drivers dont need someone to play with them before they work, they work from the get go. This Radeon 9800XT may be fast, but I have little faith in the drivers made by ATI still

I gave up on all the new nvidia drivers, they caused too many issues, too many stability problems, even at the desktop. I stayed with a set from the 40.21 range that where stable. Also, nVidia is the one who threatened to sue omegacorner for the modifications made to it's drivers. Overall, that last part speaks worse for the compnany then anything else they have ever done.

& you have been smoking ... what ? :devil:

Both ATI & NVidia are 'bad' at producing drivers that actually work 'good' - both too busy trying to have the fastest benchmark scores I'd suggest - thats not an issue for a 3rd party is it ? They might just like ones that 'go good', never mind the odd milli second or slight increase in frame rate, in some 'stupid' test ....

The only issue I EVER had was with the 23.11 drivers and the random reboots. And I've used nvidia drivers since the TNT2.

Nvidia are ROCK SOLID when it comes to their drivers. Must just be you and Adept.

Count me in too then. Must be a consipiracy of us numbnuts. I must have been causing the 5x series to have problems with punkbuster in Q3 engine games. It definitely has nothing to do with nvidia drivers despite 45.23 working fine and punkbuster just recently releasing a fix that "contains a temporary workaround for the lockup conflict with nVidia v5x.xx forceware drivers until nVidia corrects their backwards compatibility issues - the workaround may or may not solve the lockup problem for individual users depending on hardware combinations." Of course, it can't have anything to do with nvidia drivers because they still deny the crashes exist. I'll have to work on my idiocy vis a vis the Splinter Cell shadows bug, image sharpening bug, and memory overclock reset bug too.

OK, anything to do with OC'ing isnt a bug, you are running the card outside spec so you deserve any problems you encounter. My GF 4 Ti4600, GF 2 GTS/Pro and my TNT2 Pro and my GF4GO all work 100% and never have had ANY issue save for the 23.11 reboot issue.

As for the ATI, well you can see the results yourself.

When auto-overclocking is a driver feature, I'd say it not working is a bug.

Last I saw, the Nvidia OC feature in the driver had to be "unlocked" using a utility or regedit

Got a Call of Duty problem. And wondering if I don't have enough Graphic card to play. What I have is a PNY Geforce2 MX200 pci video card. Should this card have enough mustard to play this game. Right now it is real choppy and slow playing. Tried the latest driver from there websight, but still the same quality. I have 256mb ram and 2100xp amd processer. Let me know what I need to go with/ with in reason, as far as an affordable video card.

That video card is not nearly fast enough. A GF 5200 is about the bare minimum you want to play CoD. Another 256 MB of memory wouldn't hurt either.

A geforce3 ti 500 was able to handle it fine. I believe I was running an XP1700 with 512 of RAM. I would look into upgrading to a newer video card and as said by jaeger, more RAM.

That is kind of what I was afraid of. Bought what I could afford at the time. Looks like the wife is going to have to let me buy more computer stuff. Thanks I will look into your suggestions.

Have a safe holiday.
