Hello,

I have a strange problem with my Radeon9700pro, here is an example from
FarCry Demo:

http://q3a.inet.hr/farcry/farcry00001.jpg
http://q3a.inet.hr/farcry/farcry00002.jpg
http://q3a.inet.hr/farcry/farcry00003.jpg

The problem is not visible right away from starting the game, it occours
after cca 10-15min playing.

The same problem was in: Broken Sword 3, The Thing, SW: Jedi Academy and so
on. (this shows that this is not only a farcrydemo problem).

Note: On the same system, before the FIC R9700pro card, I had original ATI
R9700pro witch developed burned RAM problem (3 vertical lines all over
screen) after 9 months usage, never overclocked of course :)


My system is:

CPU AMD Athlon XP 1900+ (never overclocked!)
MBO ASUS A7V333
RAM 2x 256 (DDR 333 Samsung)
GPU FIC Radeon 9700pro, 128mb (never overclocked!) (running at AGP 4x)
SOUND Creative Audigy 2
PSU Enermax EG465P-VE (430 W)
....
WIN XP
DIRECTx 9b
CATALYST 7.991 - 4.3

if you havent stated you were not overclocking i would think it was that.
now you say it starts afrer 10 to 15 min of palying, sounds like its
overheating.
try this get a overclock utility and under clock the video ram and core.
and test again.

It was like that for me on the demo with my 9700Pro, got the full game and
its fine now.
I dont think the demo is optimised likethe full game is.
