Everytime i start a game no matter what game it is, such as crysis or warhammer online , when i first start playing it takes a about 5 seconds before all the detail starts to kick in. Sometimes my character in warhammer is blurry then finally shows normal detail. Once the detail kicks in after a few seconds the game is fine. Crysis the detail takes a few seconds as well but usually only at startup. Anyone experience this with ATI cards? Or just the 4870? I'm using the Diamond ATI 4870 512MB version.

whick operating system are you using? I have no experiance with Warhammer but I do with Crysis and I don't have this problem at all. Was wondering if your using Vista, if you are your system is light on memory with only 2 gigs installed.

yehh, thats perfectly normal. the game is just loading all the textures on the screen. my 3870 does that as well

I get the same thing and noticed it with my 8800GTS 640 in texture heavy games as well. I just put it down to the game starting before all the texture data was fully loaded (perhaps poor programming?)
Anyone have any other ideas?

I'm running Windows XP still. But I guess it is normal, it is the textures loading. I never experienced this with my previous Nvidia 7800gtx. But I guess this loading texture issue is worth 3x the performance.
