Hm, looks like I've got another problem. I have my new PC connected to my TV over HDMI with a sapphire 4850 1 GB. I've tried L4D2, RE5, and Bioshock so far and performance in each game (at 1280x768) has been pretty good, usually between 60 and 120 fps. It's staying pretty cool (about 55C at load), but I'm getting weird artifacts and DirectX 10 seems completely broken- running RE5 in DX10 mode gives me a monochrome screen and some shadows. I've updated my drivers, but the problem is still there. It's not constant, though, which is weird, and it only shows up in-game. I've seen artifacting in games before, but what's happening here is something I haven't encountered. It's like pixels are being stretched out or misplaced, appearing on parts of the screen where they shouldn't be. In L4D2 I'm getting green splotches that pop up every few minutes and in RE5 they're black. I have D3DOverrider set to triple buffering as well, but I'm still getting lots of tearing. You guys think it's my video card? I'm not super worried about it, but it's something unusual.
I've also noticed these little glitches tend to disappear after a while, they're most prevalent the first five to ten minutes I'm playing a game and mostly vanish after that. Oh, and enabling AA doesn't seem to do anything. Edges are still very aliased. It seems to stop being effective after about 2x.
Disregard the bolded, the effects seem random. They went away for a few minutes but are back again now, it's like the graphics aren't being rendered fast enough or something, so there are some "blank" areas.
