    This is a continuation from the PC hardware forum...but

    I recently changed my vid card from a ATI 9800pro...to a x1650 Pro and after an ordeal getting Catalyst to install (along with all the drivers)...I logged onto WoW...

    and now ingame i experience all these big walls of colors, flickering, and blocking all over the place of some areas..

    vertexes get pulled off of other models as well, and obscures the view....

    why is this?.....i thought this card was more than adequate to push this game?.....any thoughts??

    thanks!

    did you get the pci-e?? or the agp?? if you did get the agp then try omega drivers. in my opinion a lot better than what ati offers.

    I actually traded in the x1650 for an nVidia 7600 GS (yes AGP), and it runs fine now...although I did like the performance of my old ATI, and wanted to stay with them, I had to try stuff to make my stuff work...

    thanks!
