Green flickering (on visportals?)

I am sure I have asked this question before (and I think you guys fixed it once), but I can't recall the answer, so here it goes again.

 

I can't show the screenshots because they don't get captured... But when I am playing TDM, I get strange green flickering on vertical planes that seem to correspond to visportal surfaces. The flickers look like oversized pixels, sort of rectangular-like.

 

I have got an ATI Radeon HD 480, and have disabled Catalyst A.I.

Any ideas? By accident, I could get a screenshot of the problem:

It doesn't look like a VP problem actually, since there was no VP over there when I took the screenshot.

Looks like memory corruption on your graphic card to me. Or overheating?

Hm, it is not a particularly old card - two or three years or thereabouts. Is there a way to tell if it is overheating or dying?

Melan - try underclocking the card, if the card is overheating then underclocking may temporarily fix that issue.

 

And on that subject what card do you have, and as other havs said that is either w failing card or a corrupt gfx driver..

I've got an ATI Radeon HD 4800. I will try those suggestions tomorrow; thanks!

Something similar happened to my Radeon HD 4850 when I overclocked, but used the wrong memory clock speed. Instead, I just let Catalyst rev my GPU up and down as necessary.

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
