Getting artifacts on Battlefield Bad Company 2 on my D900F

Getting bad Artifacts on Battlefield Bad Company 2

Does anyone know what I can do to fix this up ?



Setup :-

D900F
I7 2.66 Ghz Cpu
6 Gig DDR3 Ram
GTX280M

Win 7 Ultimate

 

x2

 

What are your temperature readings on the CPU and GPU while playing the game? Are you running your fans at maximum speed? Also, when's the last time you cleaned out your machine's vents?

Which graphics driver are you using?

 

I think this is not just an issue for them I am getting Horrific Artifacting aswell.

As I play on my Desktop.
with ATi 4870x2

it is god awful.... It's worse than the Beta.
the beta had flickering in the ocean.
Now I have Artifacting all through out the game.

 

max temp is about 75 Degrees celcius on the GPU which is not that bad ...

ideling temp for the GPU is low 50s deg cel

using the sager win 7 64bit drivers that was out last OCT 2009

cpu temp is around low 60s deg cel

 

yeah, I'm getting artifacting/glitches throughout as well. I tried directx 9 and I still get the glitches. Most of the time when it glitches bad I can scope my rifle and it clears it up but it's just bad right now. Driver info says 186.81 My GPU/CPU temps are fine as well...very buggy game so far or at least driver buggy.

 

Okay, I fixed the glitches/artifacts by installing drivers 195.62 You'll probably also need the fixed inf file from here to install it:

wow ... the driver fixed all the problems ?

Thanks !!!

I will try it out ...

 

so far so good ...

all the artifacts are gone so far ...

 

ok, I'll get it too then, thanks vanfarel

 

You can also get them from the official Nvidia site without the need for the .inf file:

I have a similar problem with BF:BC2

After some amount of gaming (it can be 10min or 2h) the artifacts occur on my screen and the game can restart the PC, but if I press CTR ALT DEL and wait 10 sec I can easily back to the game (not always). The artifacts look like this (similar) http://i16.tinypic.com/2qlu8ma.jpg

Some information:
C2D @2.0Ghz
2GB RAM 633MHZ
GF 8600m GT
Win7 x32

- Yes, the card is overclocked to 550/450
- No, the card is not overheating (max stress temp. is 88*C)
- I used AtiTool and after 1.5h of testing - no artifacts (temp. 87*C for 1.5h)
- This happened first time in gaming (only BF BC2)
- This didn't happen in BETA
- I have tried different drivers (3 types, also the newest one)
- I'm using RivaTuner with forced 3D performance because some times the card wanted to down clock.
- Cooling is fine (fan is clean)

I've checked the GPu with OCCT and FURMARK --> after 1h each 0 errors.


In advance - thanks for your help.

 

I'm having exactly the same problem, and exactly the same specs (assuming your ram is 667mhz), only difference is my gfx card isnt oced and that I'm running vista 32bit. This is also the only game I've noticed this in. Windows says the drivers have crashed, sometimes its able to recover completely and I can just minimize and open up the game again, sometimes I gotta restart the game, sometimes I get bsod and thus gotta restart the lappy, and one time the whole screen got artifacts and started flickering after exiting the game so I had to shut down the lappy and restart it again.

I'm running the latest nvidia drivers. I've just cleaned out my lappy with compressed air and temps doesnt seem to be the issue.

edit - just now noticed this was in sager/clevo notebook, my is a zepto. but this issue seem to be some conflict software related... nvidia drivers?
