It looks like the shadow settings are going bonkers.. other than that I don't know how to describe it, sharp edges like bow, some hull plates, portholes, textures on DC launchers all flash black very fast.
On a possibly unrelated note, looking at your gfx settings Silent I'm surprised to see the particles so high.. they slow my system down something terrible! Though I've just remembered someone here mentioning that having particles off could cause little gfx glitches, maybe it's that? |
If you go to
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/GraphicsDriverInstallationInstructionforMicrosoftW indows7.aspx, you'll find various download options. With CCC or just the driver.
Download and save the driver (not the pack with the CCC and the rest of what I would call crap) and go through the uninstall, follow the instructions and make sure there are no ATI icons left in the Controlpanel\Programs and functions after uninstall.
Sometimes the CCC is a bit persistent and uninstall just won't take all the ATI icons away, if so download the CCleaner ;
http://download.cnet.com/ccleaner/ and let it sweep them out from your system.
I guess you'll gain very little by waiting for the 11.8. The 11.7 runs fine.
And you say '...how would you control your cards without it?' - The CCC just gives you some options to set some values but this far I've only seen this causing conflicts with ingame settings.
Even for other sims as well, not only SH5.
The Windows graphics settings are just enough.
I suggest you try it. I'm quite confident you'll see what I've seen.
