Title: Problem with Graphics
Post by: Yarbles on October 11, 2009, 03:57:08 AM

I was discussing this with Spatula this morning but I havent been able to provide a screen shot.

The problem is that I have triangles like crocodile teeth at the edges of everything suddenly . Spatula says he thinks it is called tearing,

My card is Geforce 9, Nvidia 9500 GT (512mb)

Spatula suggested I ask Skuzzy what the reccomended drivers are. where to get them with fairly detailed insructions as to how to load them as I am fairly incompetant at this.

I hope someone can help me :old: :headscratch: :pray

Tearing is normally caused by running with vsync disabled.

All of NVidia's latest drivers have some kind of issue with them.  HiTech is currently running the 190.38 drivers on his 9800GTX.

Yarbles I just installed the latest (191.07) drivers for my XFX version of the 9500GT. Seem to be working fairly well, but I had to tweak the settings in the Nvidia control panel. You're going to have to do some tweaking as well. Don't try to run it at "native resolution" for you monitor. I had to scale down to 1440x900, but you might be able to do a little better, depending on the rest of your system.

Thanks the new drivers improve the situation allot though there is still some tearing.

I ran a few different GeForce cards through the decade of AH use, and always had some sort of tearing (quite annoying, really) despite updating drives dozens of times through the years.

I'm going to try an ATI card next time I upgrade, just for curiosity's sake.
