New Card - Borked?

Hi,

Just installed my new 5770 1gb, in my phenom ii 965 setup.

Without changing any clocks from stock:

Fire up bad company 2 and I am seeing the occasional black squares flickering on textures, most noticeable on snow levels.

Is this a sign that 1 of the memory chips is knackered, or could it be a driver issue?

I have installed a fresh install of cat's 10.3.

The only other game I play is L4D2 - I have tried that out quickly but cannot see the same problem, I am guessing it isn't stressing the card half as much as BC2 is though? RMA? :(

Thanks.
 
Oh really, I knew there was a hotfix for loading times but not for textures?

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I'll get a screenie if it's not fixed with the hotfix.

Looks very similar to when you take an overclock too far and get anomalies cropping up, either that or it's bust. I'll search for this hotfix!
 
Btw, been running furmark with no problems at all, even running at 950/1350 now, so I guess gareth may have been right about drivers!
 
Ahaar, turning AA off has fixed the problem. Ironically I upgraded to this card so that I could run it with some AA lol.

Until a new driver fixes it I suppose. Now running at 950/1400 stable which is rather nice! :D

Thanks for the help ppl.
 
Turn off Edge detect in CCC. Use normal box mode (ya might need to fiddle with the settings to get it to change). It's broken for my hd4870 as well.
