Omega 2.5.0.4 under XP - colored pixels everywhere

Morticus

Hi all,

my problem:
using a Saphire 9500 Pro with 9700 layout, WinXP, Omega 2.5.0.4 brings colored pixels in windows
. even with a clean install of WinXP.
it hapens with an Shuttle Board FN45 and also with an ASUS A7N8X deluxe

if i install a catalyst driver, everything is fine...

has someone a solution?

help would very appreciate

Morticus

Well if read older post im sure that you see this thing posted over and over....ppl just get tired of posting the same things.


As to your problem im guessing your card DOESNT like to be softmodded.

Try installing OMEGA's with the "NORMAL" option and see what happens.

Reason is that a 9500pro has 8 pipelines but only 128bit memory and when you try to softmod it you maybe trying to open it up with 256bit ..hence the corruption.

BTW are your ram chips in a straight line or are they L shaped (L shaped means 256bit)

Here...check THIS out.

Thx for your answer simonsays,

I checked out the link you postet, so I find out that the memory on my card is L shaped.
So it should be 256bit

The other thing I've found, I have a golden cooler, that's the only difference...

So, if I install the Omega driver with the normal options, the same thing happend...
So, I believe I had to live with that in fact... holy crap

What do you think?

Probably running hotter with it modded to 9700 too, maybe they're artifacts.

try the regular ATI drivers and see if the problem persists (just in case)

sounds to me like the 2d on the card is screwed i may be wrong though.

@DallasStar
Using the original Catalyst, everything's fine...
I want my Card softmodded, because of more power
