I recently purchased a Radeon X850 XT. It runs most of my games unbelievebly fantastic.....but there are some major issues:
Half-life 2 freezes...It never used to freeze before with my 9800 Pro. I got the X850 XT 2 days ago. The problems only showed up today. I don't know why it's happening, I tried to install older Catalyst drivers and it still freezes. I have a theory that it has to do with the sound. To my knowledge, the game freezes at certain points:
1. When the G-man is finished talking with you at the start and screen turns white. It freezes there.
2. It also freezes when Alyx saves you from the combine soldiers. Again the screen turns white and the game freezes.
I know it freezes because the sound is like stuck in a loop at those points, playing the same sound over and over again. I have all my settings to the Max, Full Antialising, full filtering, Everything up to the Max. It runs spectacular when it's actually running and not freezing. :x
Doom 3 is awesome. No freezing or nothing. It runs perfectly.
Battlefield 2 has a sound issue. After around 10 seconds into a battle the sound of the gun is gone. You can here the bullets here the ground, you just can't here the gun. (you're characters gun).
Half-life 2 and Battlefield 2 are the only games that are having trouble with the new graphics card. Anyone have the same problem? If anybody could give me something to try I would really appreciate it. Thanks. :thumbs:
