sigh, my HIS Radeon HD 5770 is annoying me to the max.

initially, I noticed a few problems in some of the games when using this graphic card but I thought it was due to the drivers. so when Catalyst 10.5 came out, I installed that and played BFBC2 fine.

now that I am playing Assassin's Creed 2 and also hoping to continue playing Borderlands but the annoyances existed in these 2 games. flickering textures and shadows are the major problems. once it flicks, it's damn conspicuous (obvious) and it irritates really, with the thought that my 8800GT doesn't have such problem.

so I went on drivers hunt.. okay not really.. more like downloaded all the previous old drivers and tried - still giving same result. I also tried flashing the BIOS, still no difference. then I went to ask zongda and he told me to burn test the graphic card to check for errors - none. there are only 2 more options: RMA the card and reformat my desktop.

would probably try reformatting and see if there's any difference once MST ends, while waiting for the people from corbell to reply my email.

also, my graphic card idling temp has +6/8 since the date of purchase. wtf?

助けて!!scrrrreeewwwwwww~!

I would like to say again.......... time passes damn quick. this morning I read on a forum about OoBE - Out of Body Experience, where the soul basically travels into the astral plane while asleep. it's quite a religious thing so I probably won't bother so much and just to continue with my dreams.

talking about dreams, I have been dreaming a lot again lately. this morning was a dream where I actually traded in my Omnia 2 for some weird old phone. sounds weird if you ask me, cuz in reality it's not possible since old phones are $0!!!!! LOL! screw that, I want Samsung Galaxy S i9000.

anyways, tomorrow is the start of MST week with WIRELESS NETWORKING as the first paper. a new module which there are no past year papers for us to practice. seems like we are the guinea pigs. then after that will be OOP labtest.
