So the same thing's still happening for him with tons of fans, etc.? Sounds pretty hopeless.

I'm gunna try re-down-grading to some older drivers and see what happens. I'm a little loathe to believe it's overheating; the motherboard temp. is 32?C, the ambient is 22?C, and the CPU's 38?C. If I don't get anywhere, I may try flashing the core to an XT, 'cos m0p reckons the core has a temperature sensor on.

Golden yep.

It's got a Zalman VF700 on it, with Zalman-provided thermal compound.
User posted image
It's got a very thin layer of paste on the die and I re-fitted the heatsink last night. The RAM heatsinks get very slightly warm to the touch, and the heatsink has been noticably warmer-than-usual in the past, but not hot.

I'll have to try again having re-fitted it.

How hot is hot for a R3XX?

Right, I've had problems with CS:S in the past (haven't played it for a while ? I'm not saying that they've stopped) and have also recently started having similar problems in BF2. The issues have previously just been texture corruption, really, often ofsetting the textures, covering them in small regular squares of black, or of other parts of the texture, or having them shift around as they filter.

In the last couple of days, however, I've found BF2 turn into this monstrosity. Buildings have turned into bizarre Escher-esque contrivances comprising of dozens of flat-color polygons twisting into each other.

Here are screenshots of the similar-but-milder issues in CS:S.

Does this look like a hardware fault, overheating, or what? I've only ever seen people say "buggered hardware" with screenies like the mad BF2 one :(.

Specs: AMD Athlon XP 2400+, ASUS A7V600-X, 1024MiB DDR2700, Sapphire RADEON 9800 Pro 128MiB, stock speeds.

PS: I also experienced graphical corruption, blurring, etc., in Windows at one point.

Doesn't really matter where you save the maps, though it's generally a good idea to keep everything on the same partition.

Get CSG going; I doubt it's a file-system problem. Read the tutorials...

A 9600XT is mediocre, I'd say. I definitely do recommend a Zalman heatsink for that, though, having one myself too :).

Cards which are natively AGP which are ported to PCI-E will perform slightly less well as PCI-E cards, but I imagine most in the future will be the other way 'round, built for PCI-E and bridged to AGP, meaning a minor performance hit.
