H2Vista Video Shimmer

cocomiel try cracking open the tower to pull out the card and clean the pins with a pencil eraser and the input slot with a spray can full of compressed air, if that doesn't work then it looks like you've tried everything you can. maybe if you know your card's manufacture, contact tech support if you can. if not, put your warranty to use.

Was that a serious piece of advice?

All new series of video cards that come out from now on will be DirectX 10, even the very low-end ones. What would be the point of releasing new video cards in DirectX 9? Wouldn't be much of an upgrade from 7600GT to 8600GT.

btw, does any 8 series card (ie 8500, 8600) carry dx10 support, or just the 8800?

whenever i run with the 6200, i can only use the analog port, and it has white/blue/green lines running across the screen with color disfiguration. it won't run on high resolutions. this is after blacking out after running with h2v. that's offtopic tho (h2v destroyed that card's video ram)

WTF ARE U SAYING?

THE CARD ONLY HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH HALO 2 VISTA, NONE ANOTHER GAME WORKS BADLY. EVEN IN DX10.
EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS PERFECTLY.

WTF IS THIS o.O!!

Wow i can say i've never seen the "normals" act that way. Atleast thats what it looks like to me.
Its called normals and they govern how light is spread across the surface of polygon edges. It looks like yours seem to be hardening up. Most video games have the normals at a very soft level so they can use less polygons to create a smooth shape.

I've seen problems like this occurring in rendering generators like maya and 3ds max but never in a game engine.

try reinstalling the game and if that doesn't work reinstall direct X. Then try drives. If none of those work your car is most likely bad.

It has nothing to do with the normals; it's unable to display coplanar surfaces or maps in the right way.
