Annoying Green Smoke

[Bikerjack]

I know this subject has been discussed before but I wondered if anyone has a definitive fix for this annoying problem?

The only way I can stop it occuring in Multiplayer is by starting a Single player mission first and then exiting after a few minutes and then going into Multiplayer and connecting to a server. If I go in direct the green smoke is always there - sometimes I forget to do this, especially when clearing the cache at the end of one mission before rejoining the server for a new mission.

This happens regardless of the AA settings - Multi sample or Super sample in ATI Catalyst.

Is this unique to AMD cards or does it also occur with Nvidia GPUs?

Why?

Hi, I guess you've figured it out by now, but just in case;
I notice that you've got two gfx cards, so I assume you're using Crossfire...
The culprit is Crossfire - or SLI (yes the same problem occurs with Nvidia cards).
I run two GTX 580 in SLI and see green smoke instead whenever SLI is configured.
I.M.H.O SLI is not utilized by the game, supported, perhaps, if by support you mean that it WILL run even if you've got SLI (or Crossfire) configured. The graphical computing however is not distributed on the multiple GPU's. I smiply switch SLI off when playing CoD... and take the settings down to 'High'. Works for me
