Title: Strange artifacts, no textures.
Post by: xix on September 14, 2014, 07:05:53 am: I have a DK2 and heard how good this was with it, so DL the tech demo to try it. When entering the world I have strange moving block artifacts and the world is very washed out with no textures?

I have a HD7950 with the 12.1 drivers.

Any ideas?

Post by: xix on September 14, 2014, 07:49:38 am: Oh sorry, 12.1 is my catalyst version not my driver version. I have the latest standard drivers from AMD but will install the beta driver and report back. Cheers!

Post by: xix on September 14, 2014, 11:31:36 am: Well, the beta drivers fixed it thanks.

I have the game running on DK2, but even turning down the graphics options I get horrendous judder if I look at anything but straight at the ground (only place I get 75fps).

If I look up, at the surroundings, even without moving, the framerate drops to around 55?!

A bit strange.

Post by: xix on September 14, 2014, 11:35:37 am: Yeah I tried that, still the same framerate drop. It's unusual, because just facing the terrain, without moving or looking around, the framerate is static at around 55-ish.

I know my card is not cutting edge but it should be able to keep 75fps on this, surely>?

Post by: cameni on September 14, 2014, 11:44:43 am: It's hard to reach 75fps with that card in stereo rendering, with 3D grass. What fps are you getting without Rift in FullHD mode?

Post by: xix on September 14, 2014, 11:49:51 am: It drops a bit when I look around, but other than that a pretty rock solid 60 fps. (that's with AO on and shadows turned on etc).
