Wierd Artifacts and Bad Preformance

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

Ive noticed that on vista, that there is a lot worse preformance visually and wierd artifacts all over the place, It doesn't happen on Xp though, the artifacts aren't like models cutting out and such like in previous topics, it is more like the lighting for certain areas just changes suddenly similar to how H3's lighting gets fuxed if you overload the map and have almost every item on it in one place and set all of them to a run time minimum of the maximum, making the lighting funk out. Anyone have any ideas?

If I could predict the timing I would, Ill try later, Okay?
Its kinda a flashing thing, as if lighting will dissapear, then reapear, the become lighter or darker, etc.

I had this very same problem. I tried to fraps it but of course the flashing was too fast to capture :( I don't have the problem anymore, and I didn't even do anything to help it. It was not my drivers or anything I might know of.

its so hard to catch 1/60+ frames :S

force it to run @ 30 fps, and i believe fraps should pick it up....

It doesn't sound like your card overheating, it sounds more like a faliure to handle it. I saw something similar on my old 9600pro when I played halo on maximum....
