The little white dots

[O_Smiladon]

S! All,

 

Can any ATI card users tell me if they have fixed the problem with the whit dots that would appear randomly with the new ATI drivers ..I have held off updating my video card because of these little dots.

 

So ATI guys with the latest drivers everything running ok with the graphics side of things ?

I've never had this issue running my HD 7850. On the latest non beta catalyst and drivers.

What's your rig spec?

[sobek]

Same here, 7850 with no problems whatsoever.

[Milli]

Never seen white dots with my 5770 and latest driver, or with any driver for that matter.

[NRG-Vampire]

i am pretty sure this not caused by drivers: you will get more little white dots with a more overclocked gfx card ;) (same with latest non beta driver: 13.4)

this is side effect of overclocking

It was a "feature" of 6950/6970 series apparently with any driver after 11.6... u have one of those maybe?

[crazyeddie]

Put more water in whatever it is you are drinking ... :drunk:

 

I hear the voices, I missed out on the dots ... Am I being deprived ?

[O_Smiladon]

Yeah Mate the 6950..and my drive is 11.5 I think I don't get the dots with that.

 

I don't overclock at all.

 

Sooo is there any one out there with the latest driver on their 69xx cards that don't get the dots?

The dots still occur when HDR is ON :(

[Witchking]

screenshot would help

[PE_Tigar]

This is a known issue and has been there forever. It's hard to get a screenshot, because the dots (polka dots rather) appear on ground and especially building textures but flicker rather than just stay there, with HDR on.

[dooom]

Confirmed - I have 6970 on latest drivers. White dots only occur if HDR on.

 

The card is not overclocked.

[Suchacz]

AMD 7870, Catalyst 13.2, HDR normal on, with no problem...

Here is a video I made when still had a 6950... nov I'm a happy camper on a Nvidia GTX660...

the 660gtx is a damn fine card for around $200.....I recommend it to all ATI/AMD users

 

SLI 260gtx did BF3 on medium settings at 35-45 FPS

 

one 660gtx does BF3 on Ultra at 135 FPS

 

unbeatable value for a mid-range card in the 600 series

[Zaxxar]

Certainly!

The white dot flashes on and off at rapid pace , so I had to freeze the sim, then try about 50 times before the screenshot captured the offending dot.

Two screenshots attached one with dot and one without - the dot is just belowt he right tail-fin. Its always a white rounded square

[G00dnight]

confirm my 6970 does this.

[sylkhan]

HDR on, MSAA 16Q(very little FPS loss) in DSCW settings, and no more white dots :) with 6950

[NRG-Vampire]

confirm my 6970 does this.

 

7950 does too with 13.4

[O_Smiladon]

HDR on, MSAA 16Q(very little FPS loss) in DSCW settings, and no more white dots :) with 6950

 

Are you using the latest driver and how is the performance of you other games?

[Nealius]

I don't recall my 7850 with 13.2 drivers ever doing this in HDR, but I usually go no-HDR nowadays.

[asparagin]

I´m also getting white dots and I´m on Nvidia..

[asparagin]

Has someone looked into the white dots problem?

 

[Kuky]

These are supposed to be canopy scratches but not working properly... it's been fixed in later versions, I think it'll be in 1.2.5
