Realtime display is funky!

monkeyboy_garth

Hey fellas, a couple of weeks ago I got myself a new graphics card - a 7600GS. Since then, it's been screwing up my realtime display when I apply normals to any of my meshes.

The image attached shows an example. The rendered version is fine, but I want to view it in the viewport, but that gets completely screwed up as soon as I click 'DX Display of Standard Material'. Anyone else had this problem before?



I tested it in UE3 and it also appears just as f#*ked up in there too. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.

That would be either a driver conflict, or your card is dying. Usually, it's a driver conflict.

actually my brother got that same card, and games were playing like that. So there's a good chance the card is fucked.

I'd say driver issue. I had this with my old system. It was a problem between my SiS chipset on the motherboard and graphics card.

Driver issue huh? I don't suppose there's much I can do really (unless new drivers miraculously fix the bug). So much for resurrecting an old machine with a new graphics card. Thanks for your help, chaps - at least I know where the problem is now.

It is an issue with your card/drivers and shaders... lots of people had this specific problem with Rome Total War and the solution was to turn off any shaders.
