hd 6950 & elemental...

...not working properly

from Elemental Forums

Guten Tag and hello everyone,

yesterday brought a brandnew AMD HD 6950. I have thought this might be an adequate replacement for my aging geforce 275 gtx. It definitely is, but whilst trying out games, I stumbled upon elemental, bought on release day and today reanimated by me (and a patch 1.1). When I tried to set off for a 4x niter half a hour ago I was half amused and half shocked because elemental and my new GA don´t like each other.

How do I know ?

If i zoom out on the strategic (aka "world2-) map, the cloth map is black with white shores some items (resources etc.)monsters my alter ego (souvereign) are displayed via icons. When I try to zoom in the screen (the 3d graphics) become white, clothmap only is working quite good, but bores  me 2 hell.

Are issues like this known ?

you have not mentioned your catalyst version, the current is 10.12, and I do not have the issue on either my 4850 or 5850 systems and have seen it with older ati drivers.

I´m using AMD Catalyst 10.12a Hotfix, should be the latest driver.

 

Problem is  solved Elemental AA settings and Catalyst or the card do interfere with each other. Changing to a no AA setting via ingame menu solves the problem i´ve had.

Another inconvenience is now that while  scrolling ingame there appears to be some tearing, vSync is not working properly. Tried the setting in CCC but  still it´s not good. Elemental has no ingame vSync setting, so the game itself is not helping with this.

Any advice on this problem anyone ??
