Maybe some graphics help?

[burtonbraves]

Okay so I've been having trouble on and off for the past few months with my graphics. Like everything gets all distorted, and just polygons take up the entire screen and the game freezes. But this is a new one...does anyone know why this does this?

Thanks in advance

New graphics card? If so i can give you my Rend_DXG and see if that helps...

Sure, read me off your numbers, I fiddled with the rend_dxg and I got rid of the glitches but now it's fuzzy.

sorta sounds like your card is dying.

I think I've been having overheating troubles for a while, but the thing is, it only does it like every 2 weeks...it's not continuous. That's what I don't understand.

Jr. on the outside pole -- that is something I haven't seen in awhile.

If you look close, there's something a little weird, at the back too.

Seriously; I've not seen the rear issue before. Great info, and image tho. Fans are all spinning and grills clean? What gpu/psu/os do you have? Have you updated your drivers? I would hold off using/pushing the card, until you get some credible advice. Temp's can brick a card quickly. A dying psu can brick everything. (First thing I would want to 'clear'. Especially if you have upgraded gpu etc. and still have a 'supplied' psu.)

+1 T18 gpu a likely suspect.

Anything from psu/hdds/ram/mb could be the hardware culprit. And then there's driver/bios issues...

Myself -- I would introduce myself on a tech site, and (then) post query in appropriate forum section. Be cool :cool2: & take a glance at their stickies.

Good luck! & please post again. It's an interesting issue.

Yeah...take that video card out and clean it good.

Also go download EVGA precision...it is a free program that allows you to turn the fan speed up on your video card while playing games, to keep it running cool.

Good luck.
