wickedfastball Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) Attached images show the problem. Strange texture corruption. I've tried graphics settings all low, all high, mixed, HDR on, off, AA on, off, etc. I've tried numerous combinations of nVidia control panel settings as well. Sometimes it shows up immediately upon entering the cockpit. Sometimes it takes a bit (few seconds to a few minutes). I can grab other screens if needed. I've seen this issue for quite a while. I recently reloaded Windows on a new hard drive in the hopes it would fix it. It did not show up the first few times I ran DCS after the reload but now happens every time. It happened with my old video card (8800GTX) as well. Not sure what else to do besides build a new computer (which I'd rather not do). Other than the texture corruption the sim runs great. nVidia GTX560Ti w/285.62 Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 3.2 GHz (OC from 2.66) 4GB RAM Win 7 64-bit Edited December 10, 2011 by wickedfastball

wickedfastball Posted December 10, 2011 Author Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) Updated the post to indicate current overclocking. These issues were present at standard rates as well, but I haven't tried it recently. Will do that. UPDATE: reset all BIOS settings to defaults and still see the image corruption. New images attached. The first one was at sim startup. I then alt-tabbed out and went back in and took the second one. Edited December 10, 2011 by wickedfastball Updated information
wickedfastball Posted January 5, 2012 Author Posted January 5, 2012 Update... I generally blame hardware for problems as a last resort. As a professional software developer, I know that it is almost always a software problem. Not so in this case. I replaced my power supply and the texture corruption seems to be gone. I'll need to get a few more hours in the cockpit before I call it done, but it's looking good after a couple of test flights around the pattern. Simple and relatively cheap (compared to building an entirely new system). Now back to re-learning how to use the DSMS and CDU - and oh that sweet GAU-8 sound...
HiJack Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Try to set your nVidia GTX560Ti to the default "Optimum quality" and check then.
wickedfastball Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 Well, I guess I spoke too soon. The strange texture corruption is back. Essentially the same general appearance as the previous screenshots. To summarize, I've had this same issue since at least April 2011. I've replaced the hard drive with a new installation of Windows and DCS, I've replaced the video card and the power supply. The only things left to replace are the motherboard, processor, and memory. Unless anyone has any other suggestions to try, I'm out of options.
joey45 Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Re-install of video drivers?? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

cichlidfan Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Reseat your video card. Check everything else while you are in there but your video card is loose in the socket, maybe not enough to feel like it but it is not seated correctly. EDIT: Your later pics are a mild version of the symptoms but the pics in the first post are dead on.

wickedfastball Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 Thanks for the suggestion. That did it (for now). Must have been the equivalent of "jiggle the cable". Strange, as I had disassembled everything and cleaned all the components thoroughly. Surprising how dusty it can get in there. I didn't think to reseat the card again as I had taken it apart several times. Guess it never got seated properly. Thanks again!
cichlidfan Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Your welcome. To be honest, Nate--IRL-- is the one who reminded me of that possibility a few months back when I had a similar issue.
