3870X2 CF Artifacts in DX10 Problems!!

[StevenG]

Okay i just tried running the Vantage Benchmark and in DX10 i get a full screen of horrible artifacts and wondered if anyone else had this issue?

i also had this issue when trying Crysis in DX10 mode.

im running the newest 8.4 cats on vista 64 home premuim.

Anyone with any info could you please help me out?

Thanks

Perhaps try the 8.3's with the powerplay hotfix instead to see if that works.

I had problems like that in Crysis with the older cats (never tried the 8.4's as i'd just got the GX2) and the 8.3+fix sorted it.

Is the card clocked much?

the cards are at stock and i got P7021 3DMarks with my q6600 @ 3.6ghz

i'll try a driver un-install and the 8.3 + hotfix and report back.

Thanks

Theres a hotfix available for 3dmark vantage. Check the rage 3d catalyst forum.

i get the same mate with cat 8.4 with the vantage hot fix the first test looks awfull some textures are missing like the water and i get loads of artifacts on both graphics test drivers i think...i still scored p6438 though with E6600@ 3000MHz 4 gig ram 3870x2..

possibly just a vantage problem then. yeah i get loads of stuff missing from the first test and liney artifacts in the 2nd test...

not particulary bothered at the moment as i dont run anything that uses DX10.

just wondered if others had the same problem. my score isnt that good i dont think you gain anything from having a 2nd X2 in 3dmark yet my games see a massive improvement

Read my post above, its a catalyst issue and a new catalyst hotfix was released to fix it...

still get all the artifacts... but it did get me a higher score by a little way. this is my overclocked score http://service.futuremark.com/home.action?resultId=71535&resultType=19 12585 not bad i dont think.

still thought with the artifacting... renders DX10 pretty much useles
