You're not alone with this one. I have an 8800GTX nvidia card with the same issue. Probably a conflict with the drivers and AC. all of my newer games run great, including online games. LOTR, Vanguard, Tabula Rasa, etc. Wish it could get fixed. I'm considering building a new machine just to play AC Silly I know

I have an 8800 as well. It's very annoying. I tried messing with older drivers a bit, but I haven't found one that doesn't have the bug.

Has anyone tried modifying the system level settings? Like how textures load? How many etc??

It's definitely either a chipset or driver issue. There are too many people experiencing the exact same artifacts who have otherwise stable systems. FWIW I've experienced it on both XP and Vista. If I get time tonight, I'll track down the very first 8800 series driver for XP and see if it's still buggy with that one. Also FWIW, my friend who is a video card nerd told me that it's known that the 8800 doesn't play nice with many old games with lower rez textures. The Unreal 1 Engine based games w/palletized textures, and the original thief come to mind.


I will look into riva tuner tweaks if I get time.

Just an FYI:


I went back to the very first 8800 driver - 97.02 and the bug is still there.


Has anyone heard of an 8800 user that doesn't have this problem?

Egads... this is a bigger problem than I first thought.


Does everyone have the exact same graphics glitch as we see in the screen shot?


Okies... someones tried rolling back drivers and that failed...

Ok here is the questions I will regret.

Question 1 is do you have the problem...

Question 2 driver version

Question 3 Please post your ingame video settings as well as your regular video settings in windows.

AGP, SLI, PCIe etc...


This is alot of data I know... but I don't have an 8 series to play with.

What I can do is try to find whats the same and whats different, and make semi educated guesses of the next step to try.

Please ask in @a and @cg on your respective worlds to see if you can find another 8 series user. See if they have a problem, if they don't I REALLY would love to see their settings and driver info posted here


I'm not promising I can fix anything, bring your dog back from the dead, walk on water, turn koolaid into wine

But I can try looking for a common thread... and try to find a solution.


Has anyone tried any of the "nonoffical" drivers that gamers have tweaked out?


wubbie - just remeber sometimes the hammer is your freind
