Prey graphics corruption / artifacts

[z0mbi3]

I'll let the screen shots speak for their selves. Been having these weird glitches since I got prey from Steam on the weekend. I can't work out what it is that it's trying to render that's causing them.

My specs are:
Vista x64
x2 4400
x1900 xt
2 gig of ram
dfi nf4 ultra-d

I also updated my graphics card drivers recently, but I know this doesn't have anything to do with it as I had the same problem with Doom 3 ages ago on this system.

I've tried it at stock clocks and it's not making a difference.

Any one got any ideas?

edit: All my other games are fine.

Temps are fine. Graphics card hardly has a chance to get warm and all my other games play fine.

As I say I remember having the same problem with Doom 3 ages ago.

I'm using the latest Cats from the ATI/AMD site.

I just noticed now, if I turn off shadows the problem goes away.

edit: Got a link to the issues you mentioned?

Try some older drivers.

I don't see much point in this as I had the same problem with Doom 3 like 6 months ago. Don't like the idea of getting drivers older than that.

edit:

I'm willing to accept that it's a driver issue, but I'd rather see an example of someone else complaining about the same thing before I go that far back.

Any ideas?

Failing all else, fresh OS install will give you a definite answer.

I think I'm going to with this option. There's nothing wrong with the card, I'm 100% on that.

im not sure if you have overclocked or not. But i dare you try and lower your clock speed a few mhz and I bet it clears the problem right up.

No offense intended, but I dare you to read my original post.

Fixed it guys, turns out you have to have Catalyst AI Off for Doom 3 engine games.

Good job I found out when I did as I was just about to format
