well done baph. Not quite up there with the jules t-shirts. But it's a comfy u-turn, like drinking coco whilst lying on the couch under a quilt and typing this message.

I actually went and googled enable IDM mode.

 

I was like why haven't I seen that before.

 

Then it hit me.

 

 

Now on a serious note. Cave Johnson here! Install the latest AMD Drivers for your card. http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx

 

You might have to uinstall the old ones via Windows Uinstall Manager, install a program called Driver Sweeper, resart your PC then boot into safe mode run driver sweepr have it scan for ATI drivers and have it clean them dry.

 

After that install the latest drivers and you should be worry free from Driver issues. (Unless AMD released shitty drivers again).

 

Tell me your system specs in detail. Sometimes even faulty ram might cause graphical issues in game. Did you check your RAM? Do a RAM test.

I can't see the screenshots but if you are getting random screen artifacts but not any errors, its most likely GPU ram corruption. Meaning you need a new video card.

Here are some tools to check for errors in GPU RAM:

Nice artifacts though, does it crash?

it doesn't crash, it's just slightly annoying with all these damn glitches since i can't really afford a new card right now.

are you talking about gpu ram or regular ram? how do i test the regular ram?

 

 

i'll try those.

Didn't buy your computer that long ago did you? The card might still be under warranty, depending on the manufacturer, place you bought it from. Worth looking into.

Yeah definitely seems like a chip or two is giving up on your graphics card. My old lappy used to do that before it finally gave up the ghost and had a similar mental graphical effect when playing 3d games -
