if a video card is damage (GPU or Mem), can it run ok till it gets
stressed hard. or does it either work or not?

i got a frame rate issue im trying to resolve.

Yes, it can work in normal usage. I had problems with some ATI card, it worked ok in 2d usage but in any 3d it crashed.

it doesnt crash, but like in AH. normal flying around few cons or damage bases, itsok. but get in hvy cons or hvy damaged base and it
starts dropping frame rate when it didnt before.

Whels....if this is happening with the new patch don't worry about it.

It's the new vid code methinks.

Many many of us are having the same problem. It's not the vid card.

You and I running similar systems I believe. I'm using an X800XT all in wonder with 16 open pipelines, top of the line AGP Card. Also have two gig of corsair memory. Soooooooooooo. Not to mention 4000+ Clawhammer CPU.

Definately has something to do with the new release. Tracers? Terrain? Dunno but something is hacking away at the framerates of about 90% of the players in Aces High since the new patch.

Hitech has said he found a graphical bug. Chances are that'll be fixed in a day (I think he said new patch tomorrow).

He also suggested unchecking the optimization checkboxes in the video setup screen, at least as a stop-gap until the patch is out.
