Speckles appearing in graphics

3 posts by 2 people · 13 Sep 1998 - 15 Sep 1998

Can anyone help me out here. I have (yeah I know it's c**p) on board graphics card on TX Pro II M/B and Innovision Voodoo 4MB 3DFX card (alright, alright, we can't all afford the best, besides it suits me). Anyway, the problem is that I get "speckles" appear in the graphics (in GPL it's on the wheels and the backdrop - occassionally the road surface). I have seen it in Unreal but can flush the graphics engine to clear it. I have been noticing it in most 3DFX games I have tried, anyone know how to overcome this? Thanks, Craig.
Hi Craig, I have had the same problem a while ago. After trying every possible thing in software I replaced the voodoo card with one of my other pc's (identical) voodoo card. That solved it! Conclusion -> The speckles were a result of hardware failure. I went back the store and they replaced it for me. Of course it's possible that your speckles are caused by something else, but if you have the opportunity I suggest you try an other card. It helps a lot if you're in the store to get it replaced and you can say that you plugged in an other card and that it worked. Good luck with it, Johan.
