NFS III flashing problem

by l » Thu, 15 Feb 2001 22:40:20

I know it's Very Old, but I still like it!  I just upgraded to a NVidia
GeForce 2 GTS 32 DDR (Creatives Annihilator 2 3D Blaster) with a P3 600
cpu and 328 m. memory and now when running NFS III there is a terribly
annoying random intermittent screen flicker - I am running the 631
detonator drivers.

Does anyone know how to get rid of this screen flicker?

Please Help,

Thanks!

It's a known issue with certain GTS 2 nVidia cards, I'm afraid. I had the
64MB version, and the flickering was too much for me. Until new drivers or
game patches appear, you're stuck. As NFS 3 is a pretty old game now, I
don't think you will get a patch for that. Some people found that if you
disable v-synch, it helped, but that is not really an ideal solution if you
still want good FPS and a quality image.

actually I just solved it by enabling forced 3x3 anti-aliasing under Direct 3d - somehow that worked!

Thanks!
