Hi

just built new system with a DFI Ultra D and a x1900xt; everything runs fine apart from Fear which although runs initially starts acting weird with skipping half of initial cut scenes and then when on first scene in game where your in the car - the character gets out of the car before the bin by himself and is stuck. The game eventually just crashes.

Aquamark almost finishes but crashes on last scene as the particle explosion; this happens both when cpu is clocked and unclocked.

Other games like cod2 and ut2004 run fine.

Please help as really enjoy playing Fear and wanted to see how it played on new card.

Many thanks
 
well that is very odd... only other thing i can think of is try an earlier version of catalyst... find a bios revision for the X1900 but i dont think there is one... or a dreaded RMA sorry cant help anymore
 
Me personally having problems and issues with ATI cards in the past have been completely swayed to nVidia, and I will not be looking back.

Sorry but that is rubbish...Have used both for more years than I would like to remember! Have recently moved back to ATI, & imo if something is having problems it is more likely to be an incorrectly set up pc than any individual 'manafacturer' hardware..

Personally have had zero issues since moving back to ATI? Am I just lucky? Doubt it! But then I had no issues with NVIDIA really either...Make of that what you will..

Too many variables involved to just say 'ATI'...'NVIDIA' etc etc are NO SWEARING!!! Big Kev
