I have just bought a Gigabyte Deluxe Radeon 8500 to replace my out-of-date Geforce 256. I formatted the HD and installed Win98se and DirectX 8.1 (0.881). I then installed the supplied drivers and the Rachel demo ( to see what this card can do). When I ran it (card not over-clocked at all), all I could see was a lot of long lines comming from where her face is towards the screen. I then installed Operation Flashpoint and saw a lot of soldiers running around with no faces or any other body parts. All I could see was the gun and the jackets they wore.
Right, now I installed the latest drivers from ATI web-site. Still no luck. Can someone please help me with this one? No more artifacts Please!!!
