ATI Radeon 9700 flicker

[JimmyY2KWS6]

I thought I will slove my gaming problems if I build a P4 2.53 512 DDR RAM and ATI RADEON 9700 but I guess I was wrong. When I play Wolfenstien or Medal of Honor I get that flicker. I can't change the refresh rate for 3D not sure how? I wanted to try different settings. Shadows of torches hanged on the wall move unreallistically. When I shoot someone sometimes their blood floats in the air near a table. I am going nuts over here trying to figure it out. I got new drivers and still the same. In GTA 3 wiered things appear on the streets when driving it looks like a poll but sideways BTW, in 3D Mark I got 12285 and the graphics was flawless no glicthes! Any tips are appreciated

If you get service pack 1 for winXP it should solve the problem but I use refresh force to get rid of the 60hz gaming refresh rate prblem. Just make sure you have your monitor drivers installed before you run it.

Use Powerstrip or rage3d I think have another one for ATI. I have an ATI radeon 8500 and use powerstrip to set all the resolutions with their max refresh rate.

That should sort out ya problems!

Play in 1024 x768 with a perfect 120hz ))

Add locking out to the list. Now it locks out when playing GTA3 and Battlefield. I am very disappointed in this card and I am going to return it for a Geforce 4. BTW, where can I get Rage3D? I might give it a last try.

Nooooooooooooo whatever you do DO NOT get a geforce 4. The radeon 9700 ownz the absolute **** outta it! Trust me! Go look around the web you will find no diffrent story ANYWHERE!!!

Read the instructions it is not too hard you allocate a refresh rate to each resolution.
