Graphics issues on Nvidia cards (DirectX 11)

[onewhite73]

Hi All,

Having the same problem on latest drivers (344.75)

My rig:

• Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit
• CPU: Intel i7-4770K 3.5Ghz,
• RAM: 32GB DDR3,
• Gigabyte GTX780Ti 3GB GDDR5

It's very distracting, and only happens in this game (patch 1.04 is installed, along with high res textures enabled).

Have tried turning off high res textures, but has no effect. 

Here is a link to my recording of the problem:

Unfortunately it happens so quickly you might not notice it!  It happens mostly around the 24s mark.

And another video, hopefully a little more obvious :D

These glitches you have recorded look like your card is overheating.

The actual reported issues with the drivers are invisible bodies and weird flat/squarish shadows on the ground.

That said, after further testing it seems that the latest driver is not entirely good. I have seen no invisible bodies at all or the weird shadows but I just got corrupted textures after 2 hours in the game.

@@kevoftheyear: Your performance looks about right for your specific card and settings.

I've just been playing AC:Unity and it started to do the same thing, and it then crashed.  

Sorry, my problem isn't related to this post. Cheers.

Argh, I'm sad to hear that. I guess I'll play with the settings until I find something I can stomach. I thought it was odd because I built my rig a full two years after this game came out and I thought the card would burn right through it. I get something like 80 FPS on Skyrim. Is it just the combo of this game's engine and this card that don't play nice?

I had several textures missing using my GTX 760 and the NVIDIA 344.75 driver version. This resulted in weird things, like completely messed up clothing (just chaotic scrambled textures), heads without body, part of arms and legs missing and more. The only solution is disabling DirectX11 and go back to DirectX9, or downgrading to the 340.52 version drivers (still downloadable on the NVIDIA site).

Notice: Dragon Age Inquisition needs the latest drivers (344.75), so you cannot have both games working on the same PC at this moment.

I have reported this issue myself on the NVIDIA website (togehter with an lot of others), and the latest message I have read in that thread was that it would be brought to the attention of the driver developpers. For now it seems that there is no solution for this problem.

I am reluctant to test it with the present 344.80 beta drivers, because they seem to be an bit crash-prone. I rather have an stable system. If someone else will test that (or has already done so) I would like to hear what the results are.

I'm also experiencing this problem on my other system, while my other rig is in for repairs.

This one is:

Win 7 Pro 64bit

Nvidia 344.75 drivers

GeForce GTX560 GPU

and getting bodyless heads, missing textures and this rather colourful building:

Hoping a fix is available at some stage.  Thanks.

Any update on a fix for this?

You'll have to ask Nvidia.

I've been having a problem when I start DA 2 from my Origin library, and the DA 2 window pops up (it's supposed to be fullscreen), and it immediately goes to the status of Not Responding. No EA video, nothing.

Specs are as follows:

OS: Windows 7

GPU: GeForce GTX 880M

CPU: Intel Core i7- 4810MQ CPU @ 2.80 GHz

16GB of RAM

Nvidia GeForce driver version 344.75

When I click on 'View Problem Details' this is what it shows.

This is really frustrating, as I really want to play this game but I can't find a solution to this problem anywhere. Can somebody help?

Edited to mention that I tried reverting to the graphics driver mentioned on the first page of this post (driver version 340.52) but this same problem still occurred.
