Asus 560 Ti Battlefield 3 texture flickering

caleb · Nov 14, 2011

Hey
Do you guys think it might be Video Card issue ? Just bought this hardware
Corsair TX750V2,i5 2500k,Asus P8P67 Pro,2x4GB Ram and Asus 560 Ti DirectCU II
This starts as small flickering and the amount of flickering objects increases minute by minute. After map change it seems to go away and it usually happens on large maps when I fly jets. Also some of textures on objects and floors appear broken when this happens plains become violet,AT mines become green,roads look like made from blocks etc. I lowered GPU clocks to 800Mhz but it didn't solve it.
So far BF3 was the only game I played so I haven't tried anything else.

1) What drivers are you using?
2) Try something else, maybe a benchmark or another game....

: GF GTX560Ti 1024MB 256bit DirectCu II TOP

Forgot to add its the TOP version. I use the latest from NV 285.62.

Millennium · Nov 14, 2011

newer drivers

bf3 is a new game expect these kind of errors to be with drivers or the game itself... having said that your config is quite common any big bugs would normally be sorted by now...

try new drivers and report plz

I`v got the same thing. Try lowering the GPU/MEM clocks. My GPU would do 850MHz at most games but for BF3 I must lower the clocks to 780/1900 to avoid screen corruption.

caleb · Nov 16, 2011

It looks like the new drivers solved the issue. Big Thanks!

caleb · Nov 17, 2011

I take it back, the flickering is still there. It occurs on open large maps, specially on Caspian. I will try to check in other games and lower the clocks.

caleb · Dec 5, 2011

Bah Latest BETA driver and its still happening. I think its happening more frequently as I game on ULTRA settings. Its the MSAA that differs from high right ? Is there any benchmark that would simulate similar load to that ultra settings ?

Funny thing is that it happens on Caspian and Kharg Island. I never had these glitches on Metro or other maps.

mastrdrver · Dec 6, 2011

Have you tried Asus' drivers?

Just a thought.

xxdozer32 · Dec 6, 2011

can that card even run it on ultra setting? maybe high settings?

Darkleoco · Dec 6, 2011

I know that it's not limited to Nvidia only, AMD users have reported issues in BF3 with the latest drivers as well so idk what to suggest :s

DrunkenMafia · Dec 6, 2011

I used to get this when my cards got too hot. Open your case and put a fan against the card and see if it still occurs. It is a quick easy test to try.

caleb · Dec 6, 2011

Runs pretty much ok on ULTRA dropping FPS to 30 on some maps but overall i get 40+ 90% of the time.
Trying to play on High now to see if it solves it. Im almost sure its driver/game issue as it happens on these 2 maps and only I when looking towards the center of the map. If I turn jet towards map ends there is no flickering there.

Jasper005 · Dec 6, 2011

I have exactly the same issue with my GTX 560 (does it in SLI as well but I've disabled that for now). Especially on the larger maps like Caspian.

It's definitely not a heating issue and I've got the latest beta drivers as well.

I'm going to try and underclock the card as you guys suggested, hopefully this helps.

From what I've read it affects 560 TIs a lot but also some older cards as well. The only other solution that I've read it to lower the MESH level (Draw distance as far as I can tell) down.

Here's hoping they fix this!

Edit: Just found this hopefully it may help....

your video card may be overheating... turn up the fan and the clocks down a little. I have a 1KW power supply, and a single GTX 285, and my system was screaming for more power running my GC at 710/1550/1300. I kept getting artifacts, then game crashes or complete system crashes and blue screens with errors regarding power draw/ loss of power to devices. I seam to have fixed this problem by lowering my clocks about 20Mhz on everything. Before this game, I never had an issue with those clocks. So again, try amping up your fan a little, and dropping the clocks some.

THE_EGG · Dec 17, 2011

This happened to me during the beta when I used to have a 570. Turned out to be the newest drivers causing the throttle temperature to be lowered which sucked (inturn meaning overheating). So I would try ramping up the fans maybe even to 100% for one session to see if it fixes it and then decrease them after.

Flogger23m · Dec 17, 2011

No issues like that on the two EVGA GTX 560ti 2GBs I tried. 185.62 drivers. No over heating on the cards I tried.

That being said, both of my 560ti 2GBs had issues. Card #2 had physical damage out of the box so I did not test it. I am currently on my 3rd one, and this one will go back and likely for an HD 6950 2GB.

Distortion

I've seen that kind of screen distortion be caused by certain types of spyware which enter your pc if your digging through too many dubious websites. (clicking on popups).
Installing spybot does the trick.

arnoo1 · Dec 17, 2011

I allways had texture flickering in crysis, it's just a driver thing, wait for newer drivers, that should do the trick

LordJummy · Dec 18, 2011

Last time I had artifacting like that it was on a 6950 that I overclocked way too high. Permanently damaged the vram.

_ALB_R3D X · Dec 18, 2011

Try lowering AA,MSAA and whatever uses lots of your cards RAM...You're limited to 1GB and BF3 on ultra settings demands way more,especially if your maxing out AA or MSAA or whatever they're called!
