"blinking" Problem with new Radeon 9830
angelyne:
I just bought a Radeon 9830 to replace an aging Nvidia 6600. I had an issue with textures becoming fuzzy with my Nvidia that no amount of fiddling with cards settings would fix. So I decided to try an Radeon.
Textures are sharp as anythings, but I'm having an incredibly annoying problem. When I am playing, the game "blinks"; everything disappears for a split second and then reappears. Not the entire LCD, but just the game itself (I play in windowed mode).
The second problem, which is probably the same issue, is in build/buy mode. When I do anything there i.e add a wall, a window, paint, delete a wall, etc....the game will blink again, but this time it takes around 2-3 seconds to come back. When that happens all the walls, objects etc disappear for a few seconds, leaving only the tiles or ground textures. Then everything blinks back. This happens also in buy mode, but not for everything.
Anyway it's driving me crazy. Anyone has seen anything similar ?

1. Did you update drivers? Even a new card might be out of date by the time you get it.
2. What's your system specs, and what is the voltage of your power supply?
leaths:
This seems to be a common problem with Radeon cards. I had it and quickly switched to an Nvidia because no amount of driver updating helped. As a temporary fix, adjusting the slider for smooth edges and changing the pixel settings from round to square seemed to help. Here is a recent thread about it.

That's exactly the problem I'm having Leaths, thanks for the head's up.

Are you sure that you do not have multiple drivers installed?
