Doom 3 problem

[Dynasty]

i started playing doom 3 on high quality and 1024, but then weird things happened. i started getting 'bars/long triangles' stretching along the screen starting from lights, bodies and other objects. they would either stretch along the ground, or cover the entire hallway. moving the mouse caused these glitches to move aswell, or disappear. it even happened when i lowered the res to 800x600...hmm

i suspect its a driver problem, or dx9 for that matter, as ive never had this problem in a game before.

thanks for any help.

Can't be DX9, since D3 is OpenGL

That sounds like a problem with your Catalysts

People have had these problems with Doom 3, especially 9800 pro users. The game pushes hardware harder than any game has before, your 9800 pro is producing artifacts. Try using the 4.9 beta Catalysts, they were released for Doom 3, they should help.

ok i solved it :E i installed dx9.0c and reinstalled 4.7 drivers. the dx9.0c has now allowed me to run in 1024 and on high detail, with no problems what so ever, and ive noticed considerable performance increases in other games aswell (eg Thief 3 and Farcry).

thanks for the help guys , although i did think the drivers were at fault. the 9800 pro seems to be having alot of problems with latest games..hmm.
