ATI HD5670 Display problem?
This is a new 'Saphire HD 5670 512Mb' that I have installed into a new PC running XP SP2. Apart from some screen tearing (which I don't get with my Nvidia GTS250 fitted in my other PC with Identical hardware spec) I get a band of green squares across the top of the desktop screen when I close IL1946. I have installed Catalyst 10.8 (for XP) but maybe some one could shed some light on why it is doing this or if its a faulty card?
I'm running in 'perfect' OpenGL and have set the Video Tab to 'Maximum settings' in the IL1946 set up utility as the HD6000 series is not listed in the Graphics card support list. If I open an application and then close it the band of green squares dissappears (they look like a series of miniature screens). I don't want to return it if its simply a set-up problem. If anyone is using this card I would appreciate any info on how they have it set up with IL1946. I haven't changed any of the default setting in the Catalyst CC.

Someone's having a laugh, maybe you. So far, Ati/AMD have not issued any hd 6xxx cards. If you mean an HD 5670 that's an entirely different situation, but an HD 6570? do me a favour, pull my other leg, it's got bells on it.

It was ok with a low end Nvidia GT220, and with an old Sapphire ATI 3450. I'm going to try the driver from my old 3450 to see if this cures it. Will post with result. Good Luck! Last edited by ATAG_Dutch; 09-03-2010 at 09:28 AM. |

Here's my conf.ini Render OGL settings if you want to check them out (read the notes after): [Render_OpenGL] TexQual=3 TexMipFilter=3 TexCompress=2 TexFlags.UseDither=1 TexFlags.UseAlpha=0 TexFlags.UseIndex=0 TexFlags.PolygonStipple=1 TexFlags.UseClampedSprites=0 TexFlags.DrawLandByTriangles=1 TexFlags.UseVertexArrays=1 TexFlags.DisableAPIExtensions=0 TexFlags.ARBMultitextureExt=1 TexFlags.TexEnvCombineExt=1 TexFlags.SecondaryColorExt=1 TexFlags.VertexArrayExt=1 TexFlags.ClipHintExt=0 TexFlags.UsePaletteExt=0 TexFlags.TexAnisotropicExt=0 TexFlags.TexCompressARBExt=1 TexFlags.TexEnvCombine4NV=0 TexFlags.TexEnvCombineDot3=1 TexFlags.DepthClampNV=0 TexFlags.SeparateSpecular=1 TexFlags.TextureShaderNV=0 HardwareShaders=1 Shadows=2 Specular=2 SpecularLight=2 DiffuseLight=2 DynamicalLights=1 MeshDetail=2 VisibilityDistance=3 Sky=2 Forest=3 LandShading=3 LandDetails=2 LandGeom=2 TexLarge=1 TexLandQual=3 TexLandLarge=1 Note: I'm running UP or I would otherwise be using TexCompress=0 Disable Catalyst A.I. in the Catalyst Control Centre. I enable Wait for vertical refresh, and switch on Triple buffering hope this helps B

Thanks Brando.
Very useful, will let you know. I'm running AAA 1.2 offline, so Texcompress=? Cheers! |

BTW - remember that using the IL-2 Setup program again will overwrite settings made by manually editing conf.ini - so avoid using it again.

Is it better to select 'custom' in the Video IL2 Set Up menu (if a card is not listed), make all changes in the config file and leave the Catalyst settings at default (other than the ones mentioned)?

Uncheck 'Use application settings' for AA & AF in your CCC. 4x is a good setting to start with for both these effects. B
