Flashing spots on objects

Hello,

I Have just finished building my new computer 2 days ago, and today when i went to play PR i found somekind of graphic bug. Most of my objects (Vehicles and weapons) are bugging somehow for me, by making "black random areas" to them which are flashing. Sometimes they dissappear so i dont see them at all, sometimes there is less of them, and sometimes there is so much them what makes me pissed off. You can find more details of this glitch from the video at the end of message.

Im running my game with highest settings, and my FPS is normally around 80-100.

GENERAL INFO:
TEAM: All
MAP: All
MAP SIZE: All

COMPUTER SPECS:
- Processor: Intel C2D E6600 (Temp: ~55 celsius)
- Video card: Club 3D Radeon X1950Pro (Temp: ~60 celsius)
- Mother board: Asus P5B
- Memory: 2Gb DDR2 800Mhz

VIDEO:
- Link

I Hope there is somekind of fix for this, eg. changing video setting or something similar, because the game/mod is running fine without any other problems.

what video drivers you got and have you downloaded and included latest dx9?

I recently tried Omega 7.10 drivers and they caused black objects. Installed official 7.12 drivers and resolved problem.

Im using latest ATI display drivers (7.12) with ATI Tray Tools. I Have been using ATI drivers and ATT for years, and havent saw anything like this ever before. But i will try the game without ATT.

If somebody else has some suggestions, i would like to hear those.

I just got my new PC up couple of days ago. I had no flashing objects until I turned AA to 8X, now I have the flashing..

I also have this problem, reported it a very long time ago https://www.realitymod.com/forum/flicke ... ml?t=21881

Basically at that time my comp setup was

Motherboard - Gigabyte ga-m55sli s4
CPU - Amd x2 5200
Video - MSI 8800 gts 640
Memory - 2 gigs gskill ddr2 pc6400
PSU - OCZ GameStream 700 watt

Since then i have built a new machine and it also experiences the exact same problem.

Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L
CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad 6600
Video - EVGA 8800 GTX 768
Memory - 2 Gigs Gskill ddr2 pc6400
PSU - OCZ GameStream 700 watt

While some of the parts may be the same model/brand (memory and PSU), they are all different as in, both computers are still fully constructed.

One thing you may want to try as I've found it reduces the glitching on some maps (Not kashan lol) is putting your memory in slots 2 and 4 as opposed to 1 and 3. Don't ask me why this helps because i have no clue, but it worked for me. I've tried Every driver release, both beta and official that is compatible with the 8800 series.

*Edit* I also forgot to mention the problem happens on my file server which has an MSI Motherboard x2 3200 processor 1 gig of gskill ddr2 pc6400 and a 256 meg Radeon x850

60 degrees C on your graphics card? 140 degrees f? sounds waaaay too hot for a graphics card.

cool that puppy down!!

edit -- just saw your video, even more convinced its an overheating issue.
