I have a problem that I cannot explain. - Games

I have some weird visual problems that I haven't been able to fix by messing with any graphical settings. [img]http://i.imgur.com/j8KS6.jpg[/img] It's the absolute WORST in the goblin starting area. -Drivers are up to date -Everything is fine with my card -SC2 does this somewhat too, so I know it's something to do with Blizzard -Only WoW and SC2 do this. Some Specs: Radeon 5850 1GB AMD Athlon Dual Core Clocked at 3.2 (I plan on getting a Phenom at some point) 6GB Ram 1066Hz I've had an open ticket for 5 hours and have gotten no response, so I'm turning to a more immediate source for now.

Try to uninstall your video driver and then reinstall.

[QUOTE=bionic0n3;27030931]Try to uninstall your video driver and then reinstall.[/QUOTE] I've tried that.

Christ those are some scary bad artifacts. How hot is it running with wow open?

Have you tried rolling back to an older driver to see if that helps? If there is no change then I would guess it was heat related. Use something like 3d mark to tax it and see if it does the same thing.

You need to check your mail.

Back in the days when I was raiding Ahn'Qiraj instances, the 20man version I believe, I had this kinda problems too, on my old PC. My videocard was overheating like crazy and that caused all that "artifacting"

I think vsync or buffering rate can cause that. Had it myself but to a much larger extent, fiddled with the graphics options and it came through great :)

Yeah I would probably fiddle with your graphics settings. Turn things off that you can live without. Try turning everything off and put everything at its lowest and if that solves it slowly turn things back on one by one.

I knew archeology was serious business but those artifacts are a little overkill. Try turning of v-sync in all seriousness.

Drink Kaja'Cola.

Turn off/on vsync replace graphics card/replace computer.

Set all your video settings to Max, then reset them to the recommended settings.

My friend had this problem. He had to change it to dx11 and then it worked again and he was able to change it back to dx9 and it still worked. No idea why that worked but whatever.

Visual problems? Why are you on facepunch go to the optometrist. Get at the video card.

Nostalgia'd of all those vanilla wow days.

I think your videocard needs replacement OP.

I had 2x5770s in Crossfire with the same problem. One of them had a faulty fan that would rattle, but apparently there was more wrong with it because when I removed it the scary graphics went away, and I got a 60+ fps boost in other games. I thought it was normal for my game to be running at 60 fps with both cards in, but with one it runs at 100+. Based on my experience I would say your card is either overheating or is borked.
