Sometimes I can see a bit of the image but even then it's usually been stretched at a weird angle. It runs directx9 perfectly. At first I thought it was just farcry 2 as I read it has had problems with this card and dx10, however I'm getting identical problems with Crysis, Fallout 3, Assassin's creed and even Sins of a Solar Empire (which used to run fine with my x1300/1550 series card!).
I've also noticed that in dx10 it bluish blotches appear on the screen.
I'm desperately looking for help, is this a hardware problem? What can I do about this? Has anyone else experienced this?
I have all the latest drivers installed
I tried taking a screenshot to show you guys the problem but it just took a shot of the window behind the program (in this case adobe illustrator).
