[snarloas1982]

guys i recently got my 4870x2 card it works fine in dx9 but iv noticed when itry dx10 i.e 3d mark vantage and far cry 2 is is distorting horribly, mad colurful boxes and sparkles. using a hx620 psu and the latest hotfix driver

i disabled catalyst ai and its not as bad, but still annoying me, any ideas

after more changes i found that i cannot enable bloom in dx10 in far cry 2 benchmark is anyone here in the same boat

without catalyst AI you generally run in non crossfire mode so with only 1 gpu. Its certainly the case in 3dmark and I believe it disables crossfire in all games. Advanced of standard(forgot what the settings are actually called) both have crossfire enabled.

Its unlikely the dx10 parts of the gpu are broken so, wipe drivers, reinstall, update dx9/10 options, check its not just a game with messed up and crap dx10 options and that the specific game doesn't just go weird with say dx10 + a certain setting.

i think mine had an issue with weird artifacts in Vantage and I can't remember if there was a fix, I think there is a hotfix for Vantage(from them, not a driver fix), and I think it maybe works better at one of the other cat Ai settings also. Managed to get it working somehow though.

cheers mate, i ran driver cleaner when i changed from my gtx but i think a format would be my best option. would me not running a pcie2.0 board have a affect?
