Drivers card 270.48.

Try going to an older set of graphics drivers if you're running the newest ones for it. And get them directly from NVidia too.

I'm desperate. In Poland, I do not have to give the card to the shop just as you are buying over the internet 10 days.

I would definitely say it is a driver issue. ASUS has become notorious in recent years for releasing buggy gear and not caring to update. Do not bother with ASUS customer service as they are worse than Compaq was in the mid 1990's towards customers. If the card is comparable to the NVIDIA GTX 500 series, which I suspect it is, it may be better to go straight to NVIDIA for the driver. They have a program to verify your card to select the driver. For the GTX 500 series, the latest driver is 306.97, which is well beyond the 270.48 you mentioned. It is worth a try. I suspect that this will work out for you.

V, like was said it's a driver issue. Get on NVidia and start with the 296.10 drivers and work up from there. Don't go to Asus and get them, they might not be the correct drivers. NVidia is the only place to get the correct ones. And it's not always a good idea to get the newest drivers out, as they sometimes have and can cause problems. I've been thru that myself.

Check Options for the graphics card to see if Antiailising being used by SH5? IF the slider is moved off of 0, reset back to 0. All they way to the left. Maybe try lowering the resolution and see what happens.

I'm wondering too if it's the graphics card itself. I haven't seen anything like what you're showing with any drivers up to and including 296.10. Tho I did have an old GF 5900 card that did the same thing in an older computer a few years ago. The card was no longer any good. I was lucky tho and it was replaced under warranty.

Do you have another GFX card to try and see if it does the same thing?

Other than those ideas I have no idea what's causing it.

I have a GTS 250 and it does not have the artifacts. I checked today gtx 560 in another computer and the same thing. Defects in components in my computer exclude. The problem is only gtx 560 and only the silent hunter 5 Other games no artifacts. Probably in all series gtx 560 will be the same errors. But I'll try to give card guarantees. In my opinion, the problem of black triangles is just a problem of errors in silent hunter and the only fix(patch) may change.

ATI has it's own set of specific problems. That's why I only buy NVidia cards. I've never had a problem with any NVidia card, but now I know not to upgrade to any GTX560 and newer graphics cards.

I'd get on the NVidia forums and state your problem there. Those guys and NVidia might have an answer for you. Or send in to NVidia Support and where you bought it from and ask about a warranty or replacement.

nvidia answer to my problem:

Hello Lukas,

Thank you for the update.

I am sorry for the inconvenience as the graphics card works fine without any issues with other games and issue is particular to one game Silent Hunter 5 i would suggest you to contact the game developer and check if there are any known issues with the game and check if there are any specific or optimal settings that are required.

Best Regards,
NVIDIA Customer Care


I'm waiting for an answer Ubisoft ... I go crazy
