I posted a thread about this in the 3dteam forum and it got locked GRR. But I have got more to add now which completely makes things diferent. I tried far cry on my x800 today with updated drivers too, and I can play for about 2 hours, then guess what, the problems come back. I check temps and they are around 70C. I then put my 9800xt back in, and I get the same problems, but the temps appear as 82C!!! The artifacts look like (i will describe as I havent any screenshots): the trees sometimes go gold and the lighting for entities and sprites mucks up. Grass moves around for no reason and appears out of nowhere and sometimes dissapears for no reason. Sometimes the grass, objects or whatever go bright white with no detail except the outline. This is caused by the temperatures right? But other people with the stock cooler don't get these problems, so why does it happen to me and no-one else? All of this is with stock cooler as I am "re-doing" my wc and tec setup and I can't just wait till I finish redoing it just to play far-cry.
