playing crysis and grid I seem to get what I can only describe as a pixelated line acroos the width of the screen? anyone else had the same problem? 200 quid card, hope its not faulty already?
 
sounds to me like it maybe tearing, vsync issue
maybe wrong, but thats my 2p's worth
try forcing vsync in ccc
if that doesnt work, use d3d over rider in rivatuner, that will deffinatly sort it if it is a vsync issue

If you go into the CCC..Catalyst control center(right click on the ATI taskbar icon)You will see HD4800 listed select 3D settings & select vertical refresh to always on


Hope that helps

thanks for that Rob! just recovered from a complete system crash whilst playing crysis, this was the error:

Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078)

does that mean ouwt to anyone? window said it was the Graphics driver
 
Did you get a red screen with the error ? If so,it's quite a common error at the minute:mad: Had it myself. What drivers are you using & are you on XP or Vista ?

Try some other game as crysis is problematic anyway.
