heres the situation:

i bought a xfx 6600gt agp 128mb video card for my computer.
my specs are:

p4
1 gig pc2100 ram
90g & 180g hd
its a sony viao

i install the card, install a game, "motogp2" and "the sims2" both games have stretched polygons and some polygons missing. i thought it was defective, return and exchange.

its doin the same thing again, and i dunno y. is there some secret settings i dunno about? could this card be defective as well. its brand new. i dunno what to do, i was wonderin if you guys would have a clue to help me out.

 

prolly a dumb question...but did you get the newest driver from www.Nvidia.com ?

 

yeah i did that, but to no help.

 

run the directx config and do the tests in there

start --> run --> dxdiag

 

everything check out fine. thanks, i just learn something. still has the problem tho. :sad:

 

does it do it on all different settings? try turning FFAA on or off in the Video card settings.

Control Panel / Display / Settings / Advanced

 

:slap: www.omegadrivers.net


the problem described does kind of sound like a driver issue but not in a way. :thinking:

 

are u running the newest direct-x version?

refresh my memory, do those games support openGL? if so try running them in that (i'm pretty sure that card is openGL compatible)

 

Are you running an LCD monitor? Some LCDs get screwy if you don't run at their native resolutions, especially older monitors.

I don't think the card is defective XFX and nVidia are both good companies.

 

he said polygons, not pixels... cant blame invisible polygons on the monitor.. well you can, just not very likely
