Thread: Screen Flickering Problem

  1. #1

    Default Screen Flickering Problem

    For some reason I get bouts of screen flickering at times while playing this game, especially after loading an instance . I have an nvidia video card with the latest drivers and direct-x. This is a Windows7 64 machine. Is there a known fix for this?

    Probably something with the settings in game or Nvidia Control Panel or could be a sign of a failing power supply or bad RAM.

    Would help to know which card it is from nvidia as there are few different ones.
    Also other specs wouldn't hurt to figure this out.
    Just without any real knowledge of your specs first thing that comes to my mind is that you have some sli-setup there and it causes the flickering. Other than that i would figure it's a heating problem with your nvidia's memory/gpu.

    Could be your monitor. Samsung Syncmaster's are known for screen flickering after 3+ years. All ya gotta do is replace the capacitors ($10w/shipping) and boom.. refurbished monitor 'like new'.

    Its a Gforce GTX 295 and the monitor is a viewsonic. I do remember having a similar problem when I played this game in the past. It was fixed by toggling something off in the card settings but I cant remember what that was.

    Well that's it then just disable the sli on your gtx 295 and you should be good.

    Ahh yes, I remember this with my 295. I used a setting on nHancer back then to fix the flickering with SLI. Not sure if that program is still supported though. If it is, I can tell you which setting will stop the flickering.
