FEAR 2 and Just Cause 2 issue...

I don't know if it's an issue or not, but I am not sure how to fix this. I have overclocked GPU (GT 330M), but I have come to the conclusion it has nothing to do with the GPU.

Anytime there is a dark area it looks very grainy and snowy such as this picture in FEAR 2. (look at the gun/walls)



Other than that, it looks perfectly fine and plays very smoothly. The same thing happens in Just Cause 2. Only very dark areas. There was a cut scene and it was showing the character, and his hair and shoes were very very grainy and moving little white specs (snow?).

The thing is, this was happening before I even overclocked my card the first time, and also happened after underclocking my card. What do I do to fix this issue?

 

in that picture, that's the film grain effect that is used in the game... it's suppose to be there, and I believe is an option in the menu. Not sure about Just Cause 2, but might be the same.

 

In Just Cause 2 it is awful. I mean the whole character is full of it. Blahh, oh well.

I did a search about the grainy issue of Just Cause 2, apparently it's affecting everyone only during cutscenes.

 

Just cause 2, do this like I did:

/filmgrain=0

In your steam launch options. Enjoy

 

yeah, film grain. there should be an option in the video settings to turn it off.
it was created to make low-res textures on consoles a little more pleasant.

 

Also found in the Mass Effect series, Fatal Frame series, Batman: AA, and numerous others. It's supposed to add a cinematic quality, but it certainly isn't for everyone.

 

What if you're not using Steam? I put it after the location of the executable, I'll see how that works out.
