| 335379 | 2005-03-18 08:53:00 | Hi When i have been playing battlefeild, or the sims two, a lot of random triangles of multicolour form in the center of the screen and move out in the shape of a triangle. I do not think that it is a hardware problem, my hardware is really good. Thanks Mike |

| 335382 | 2005-03-18 09:07:00 | hopefully, give it a shot. make sure they are the latest ones. is there anything running in the background when you are playing the game? |

| 335383 | 2005-03-18 09:15:00 | Yes, I didnt think that having things running would matter as i have a pritty good comptuer.... | Tribomb (5547) | ||

| 335385 | 2005-03-18 10:05:00 | 6600gt doesn't have extra pipes to "open",that only happens when they cripple a higher end card to make a lesser model. The 6600gt is its own design,not a crippled 6800.... Anyhow,the cards shipped with dodgy drivers that caused texture coruption in some rigs, since been corrected by newer releases. There are a couple threads on this forum relating to the situation. |

Thanks Mike heh, just because your system may be a little more powerful than a few other people, doesnt mean it is resistant against hardware failure. |

| 335387 | 2005-03-18 22:03:00 | is the card overheating? | Prescott (11) | ||
| 335388 | 2005-03-18 23:50:00 | have you checked out the 'alt.games.the-sims' news group? I have read about similar graphics problems and the solution there. May be worth checking out. | meg_h_nz (6960) | ||
