Crashing & Artifacts

[Guest lala]

Hello.

I just got a completely new rig and my game is messing up, for one I am getting so called artifacts and secondly my game randomly after a time of playing crashes back to desktop.

GPU: HD4890 (1650x1080 resolution)

CPU: AMD X4 955

OS: Win XP SP3

It is not overheating as I have put the fans up high. It gives no errors when crashing, nothing.

Latest DirectX (4.09.0000.0904)

Latest ATI HD4890 drivers.

Here are two pictures of how the artifacts look (I had the same problem with Steam games so they told me to use DirectX 8 and it worked. Perhaps I can try in 911?, but how?)

I just remembered two things I haven't tried:

1) Giving only one or two processors to 911 First Responders

2) Shutting down NOD32 before playing to see if it helps.

Anyone else have any ideas? Ask any questions etc. I see no point in giving a full dxdiag log, if you want to know something please ask.

Thanks.

well try those 2 things, and then let us know how that works first, but I read somewhere here once, to run the game with 1 processor, it was either mike, or mikey I do believe

Hey..

Neither of them helped. Anyone got any tips?

Probably the card. I had two HD4890's

The first one had issues with the shadows (shadows moved with screen instead of objects)

Card: Asus HD4890

The second one made a huge noise when the start videos displayed and had the display go crazy while ingame

Card: Asus HD4890TOP

I really hope this is a driver issue...

Greetings.

Yeah. I suspect the card as well. Mine makes a lot of huge nosie too during games so I am sending it in soon but meanwhiles I wanted to see what the problem was. I hope they replace my card.

Driver issue - I hope the same. What card you got now?

Look here, it has all his computer specs

nah that one was working well beside the shitty shadows moving with the screen insetad of the vehicles and what send back due to defect fan.

At the moment i got the

ATI HD4890 1024MB Asus EAH4890/HTDI TOP

Same version but overclocked. But it makes noise when playing the videos of the game and the screen is not stable.... If you stay in front of it one hour your good for an epileptic attack...

Ordered this one now from internship as exchange during the card repair:

ATI HD4870 1024MB Sapphire GDDR5 1xDVI 1xHDMI TV Retail

Before sending it in I will ring Asus and ask them to go an exchange with the new version of the TOP (Has new chips and new cooler) since I suspect the p[robl;ems to be gone then....

[Guest lala]

How is it not stable?

[Guest lala]

Anyone else on a HD4890 here?

[Stan]

Fixed it

Tweaked resolution and contrast for hours and updated to the newest drivers

Edit: For more info, contact me

Edit2: removed your warnings as noticed they where very old

Sounds good.

I am still unsure if I should RMA this card as it seems to be a wrong card but I am thinking they will just say "As long as it works we are not doing anything" and then I gotta pay around 85$ to them.

Thanks for removing warnings and for responding here.

For those following this thread (if any) - I managed to solve the problem with the shutting down. It seems like I did it wrongly last time giving it one core, this time I tried giving it one core again (CPU) and it didn't crash and the artifacts problem became a lot less but it's still there sadly.
