ok, so some of you may have remembered when i posted about weird corruptions in doom 3 (a patch fixed that somewhat) but now it's back and worse.

at first i didn't really notice it, then it got steadily worse and worse.

it happens to bold text on a white background. bold text

it also happens when watching videos. video

and when i checked 16-bit color, it got really bad. comparison

and this is what it looks like in game:
daoc
wow

i installed the newest catalyst drivers after uninstalling the old ones yesterday from ati.com

is my video card dying? :( thanks

thats strange.....never seen noise like that before!

here's a general list of what id check:

- change the "hardware acceleration" for graphics
- make sure the vid card is properly seated
- make sure the card is cooled properly
- if you installed anything lately....make sure you dont have an IRQ conflict
- update/check directX

and maybe try www.computing.net
