8800GTS Problems?... Or not.

[XD-3]

Hi all

A friend of mine has just upgraded his setup and he is having problems, or he thinks they might be problems...

When playing HL2 items on the screen seem to be pale shadowed out and they seem a little texturless tbh. He said they go back to normal when he gets closer to them.

Looking at the images you can see what i mean, he is on a
core 2 duo (E6600) with 2GB ram and a *BFG 8800GTS 320MB*
playing on max settings at 1280x720 on a LCD TV.

Not sure if this is something wrong with the card or its just the way the 8800 does things? any thoughts guys ?
I was thinking maybe its the extra settings like HDR that his old 6 series could not show but I'm not sure.

Thanks for any assistance chaps

The fog is messed up on the half life 2 engine mate. Thats what the wooden box's on counter strike source looks like for me.

I was getting that too - and I'd heard of the source 'fog' issue - just didn't make the connection Doh!

Thanks nbkpsycho

Had exact same issues. When u get closer to the objects, it sorts itself out.

update your display drivers and it will be fine

update your display drivers and it will be fine

I think you'll find it is still an issue with the 97.92s, but is fixed in VISTA.
