    So I just got an Asus W3J and fired up Warcraft 3 with everything set to max. The problem is sometimes during the map the textures get all screwed up. I'm wondering if this might be a driver problem? I never was too fond of ATI.

    You can also try installing the latest ATI drivers .. 7.1 works fine for me.

    Cheers !

    Right... it definitely seems like a driver-related problem. I'd agree with the suggestion of installing the Omega drivers; they're always known to be good gaming drivers (for visual improvement, not speed).

    Ok i just reinstalled the latest omega drivers. Seems to fix the texture problem, but now warcraft 3 runs in its actual resolution leaving 2 black voids on each side of the screen. I was wondering if there was any way to fix this?
