CoD4 Graphics Problem

I have a problem with my CoD4, i have a 8600GT graphics card.

Bear in mind this happens with temperatures anywhere between 42c - 57c (according to atitool)

every now and again my game will freeze and when it carries on going the graphics are screwed

in this photo all the dark brown bits should be a Tan colour / light brown....(not the best SS i know)...

i dont think its to do with overheating the card seems to be running at ok temps...

anyone got any ideas?

also, after this happens the game will re-load very slowly and also some other programs (namely Teamspeak) will respond slowly when closing / opening...

latest drivers? Re-seat the card?

One question, how are you zoomed out so far?
Click to expand...

little trick, open the console and type "cg_fov 80" (without quotes)...

you can also do "cg_drawfps 1" to show the FPS...


also, i have installed the latest drivers, havent thought about re-seating the card, might tyr that.
 
haha i love putting the fov in games as much as you can. its usually not too playable but fun for at least 5 minutes :)
 
that is the FOV on CoD4 maxed out, you can have 65 - 80. its so much better with 80, people can sneak up on the sides of you quite as easily.

also, i dont know why i took the SS's with that stupid gun, i hate it lol, was only using it for headshots, now only need MP44 Headshots for Golden AK47 :D then i can move onto SMGs :D
 
i used to use it like that all the time, i didnt get the problem, but it has been like (fov 80) for a while now... my whole sqaud uses it, but i am the only person experiencing any problems...
 
Yes, i have been playing it with the side of the case removed and an extra desk fan blowing on it... this is because i thought it was a heat problem...
 
the thing is.. artifacts are caused by the RAM on a grafic's card overheating, not the actualy GPU itself. I dont know what card you have, but is the RAM of the card under the same heatsink as the GPU? or isnt it covered with a heatsink at all?

either way, I'd try to run the game with the case open, and a fan blowing air onto it. (just to create massive airflow) then you should be sure its not a heating issue if the problem still persists.

is this one it? anyways, the black square IC's next to the cooler are the RAM chips. (under the fins of the cooler)

either way, if you card has a cooler like this, the RAM is not connected to the same heatsink as the GPU, so the temps dont say too much. (altough, the cooler does blow ait over the IC's.. )
