Graphical glitches with 8800GTS

[Marko_Ramius]

Hi,

I recently had a Nvidia 8800GTS 640M and this card is wonderful !!


But in SH3 GWX1.3, i have some small glitches in external view :-? . I will have problem for explain this in english though ..

It is only in extrnal view, no problem at all inside the sub. there is some strange kind of "trace" of dark color on the horizon (skiline ?) who appear/disappear quickly. Sometimes more up in the sky.

At night, those "trace" become some white "dots" / "traces", who run along the horizon.


I use the 16Km mod. I will try the 8Km just to try.. ( strange cause no issue at all inside the sub .. It seems to be there only in the sky, just above the horizon)


Absolutely sure it's not a hardware issue cause the card perform well in any other game i tried. I tried 158.22 driver as well the 160.02 and no change.

I use Windows XP.


So, if owners of 8800 know something about things like that, please let me know. Forgive me please if it's not very clear :oops: i do my best with english language ..

I made a complete reinstall of SH3/GWX and made a few test :


With 8Km Version (defaut), it seems there is no issue at all at daytime !! At night, there is still some kind of "horizon lightning traces" , on the sub too if i look at it at some distance, no problem if seen very near..


No issues at all with stock 1.4b :hmm:. Don't really understand what can cause this .. The 16Km mod with the 8800 ?? :hmm: strange ...


I tried with AA AF and No AA AF and so on. It seems not related to filtering.



This is not really a big issue .. And not really evident ( While on conning tower, i must look at a same point on the horizon a few seconds to see the little gliches ..)

8800GTX using GWX 1.03. No problems here. I had some slight issues with older drivers, but not with 158.22.

The thing i think is strange is : with 1.4b stock, no problem :hmm:

With 8km visibility : A lot less problem then 16Km ..


Strange little issue :damn:

Strange little issue :damn:
I am willing to swap video cards: you get my 7900 GS which runs all SH III related things smoothly and I will take your 8800 that has problems...deal? ;)
