Im getting lines of dots in the company introductions to games, some game movies are running badly. This i can deal with however im also getting colour problems with lighting effects in far cry and very slow loading, 4 sec pauses when new textures are loading. Occasional texture problems in counter strike.

I first emailed gainward, these said it was a memory problem and that i should send me graphics card back. However since swaping the graphics card with the one in system 2 the problem is still there. also both graphics cards work find in system 2. I have swapped the memory round..still no results. Flashed motherboard and graphics cards. Tryed different drivers. Help.....im going to kick it across the room. Thanks

Are you using a seperate monitor for system 1 & 2? You've ruled out the video card and the memory...my next guess would be the monitor going out.

[SephirothPD]

Dont think it is the monitor as they r specific places in games that the is a problem. Not just random visual errors
But yes i am using two monitors will try swapping them

[SephirothPD]

Still the same :(

drivers - It has taken me a long time to get the drivers that run nice

[SephirothPD]

No cant be that either

Its been happening over a whole range of drivers and both machines are using the same drivers, one works fine

Did you try removing the video drivers from the prob. machine and use this http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=603 Then reinstall the drivers, some times nvidia drivers don't uninstall as they should and after several upgrades you have crap all over the place. ;)

naa...will give it a go
