Nvidia 7300 Problems....

Rush · 02-03-08, 07:59 AM

Hi.

Im running SH3 with the GWX 2.0 mod and after a few minutes in the sim I get video blocks in all colours all over the screen ( like many years ago with graphic card problems

) and the only solution is to reboot. I havent experirenced this in any other sim. Ive changed all nvidia drivers but the same thing is happening, Ive also reinstalled SH3 from DVD and reinstalled GWX 1.2mb. Also I have the 1.4b patch applied
Is there any known tweaks to this problem?

Cheers

I have a 7300 and have no problems with it but it is on my email PC and I would never think of running GWX with it.
Just not up to it or at least at a level I could accept--------IMO

Its really frustrating (as always with these things ) I will re-install SH3 without the GWX mod and see what happens.......can this be a GWX problem? SH4 runs just fine.

SH3 is a graphics intensive game
The engine has been tweaked for SH4

I run a 7300
Try lowering hardware acceleration down a little

Wierd...........I did a re-install of SH3 and the 1.4b patch and it seemed to run fine. Then I put the GWX Mod on and it looked different a bit from before, the dials didnt pop-up (bottom right of screen) I got half way to my search area and #$%%^ the screen went wierd again and I had to reboot. I tried beforehand lowering the accelarator........thanks for that tip, but eventually it didnt help with the problem, as I said SH4 runs fine, but I much prefer the SH3 world .........

Cheers

PS This has taken up all my play time

There is a possibility that your graphics card is overclocked or overheating and might be already near death.
