BF2S Forums Graphics Problem

It might be running hot, download nvidia ntune and check after you have been playing for a bit.

After you install it go to Performance/Adjust Gpu and at the button it should show your temp.

yeh shit like that happens on my 6600GT 256mb, and mine is definately heat related because it hasnt done it the whole winter - now summer and it did it the other day. I dont know what a reasonable temperature range is, because like i said - mine runs too hot. I guess just some kind of third party cooling would do the trick but i am too lazy to get any and it isnt that frequent.

Mine idles at around 40-42 degrees (celcius), not sure about under load

It a heat problem.  Seen it MANY times.  You need better cooling.

Mine is 30-34 C under load.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Why don't you try the cheap and easy way? Get rid of the side cover and put there a fan. I cannot of another cheap yet so helpful solution at this moment.

Yeah. I do that in summer. You just have to keep cleaning the dust out more often without the cover on.

If it is not heat I have no idea.  You graphics are tears bad.  Number one (And two and three) reason is heat.

Replace you drivers, clean out you comp, etc.

mine get to  80* under load so it no big deal. well maby a bit less but the 8800GTX is hot i have the water cooled and it still gets freaking hot

Ah I give up, I'm getting my bro's old card when he gets his new one in a week or so. It has a better cooling system on it. Thanks for everyones help on this

Yeah I know it's a shocker of a problem, wouldn't wish it on the enemy team (or would I? ).

It is a heat problem indeed, I experienced that when overclocking my 6600GT (though it never got THAT bad!).
Could it be that your card is not actively cooled?

Oh, and btw: That resolution is not at minimum, is it?

Plisken... WAIT!!!

I had the EXACT same issue as you do and I have pretty much exactly the same setup as you.


MY SPECS:
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.40GHz
Memory: 1.25 GB RAM
Hard Drive: 250 GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7600gs AGP


And I got this problem after buying the 7600gs.

But, for the life of me, I can't think how to fix it....



I did a bit brainstrain, but I 'Think' this is how I fixed it...

*  START-->Settings-->Control Panel
*  D/click "Display" Icon... Goto the Troubleshoot TAB and on that page you will see:

Enable Write Combining

with a tick box next to it, and I think you will find that it is ticked.

Remove the tick, click OK. I'm not sure from memory, but I think you'll have to reboot and you should be fine.


Please let me know if this works for you or not.

Cheers M8!!

Isn't that what it's supposed to look like? I have had mine like that sinse the day I bought it...

reinstall your drivers/ roll back your drivers.
