Default Black triangles when on deck

I have SHIII with GW11, and I think I am experiencing the graphic board glitch mentioned somewhere in the forum. But so far I haven't seen any solution for it.
Unfortunately I don't remember the graphic board model but I think it is ATI something.

I only experience it when on the bridge, so it isn't too problematic for me, it just reduces it slightly when looking at sinking ships or being surfaced.

You seem to have the same problem as I do. Guess the graphic card cant handle the game very well ... Does your "triangles" blink really rapidly?

Yes it does.
It is a 128mb graphics card, but a cheap one. fortunately it doesn't happen in periscope view, or else I would be too annoyed.

weird graphic error on the 9xxx boards.
Guess I've just got to live with it for the time being.

My black triangles flash sometimes on deck view and "gods eye"-view, and not in the boat or in the periscope - thank God. But I'm to lazy to buy a new card, and will hang in there with the black irritation until I buy a new computer.

IIRC any ATI Radeon below the 6250SE has this problem
