So I am am now using jg0001's NVIDIA Settings for Quality (ver2) after installing a BFG Tech 9800GT GeForce with a NVIDIA Chip set.

And well I am getting lots of tearing when I rotate. I have the Vertical Sync on in the game and I have tried switching between Controled by Game and by the Nvidia Control Panel with no difference.

First, post a log from running CoH Helper as it will give information about your system and the CoH installation and settings.

Second, post a log from running HijackThis. This will show what else is going on on your computer while you are playing CoH.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Your video driver installation is corrupt. Uninstall your drivers and download DriverSweeper then install it, reboot to Safe Mode and run DriverSweeper getting rid of ALL Display drivers, reboot but don't let Windows autoload drivers, install the nVidia drivers cleanly. Test to see if that resolves it. If so, WIN!!

If not, let us know and post a fresh CoH Helper log.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Ok So I did that Texas and now this is the CoH help.

I have to post it some where to see it. The Driver is the same? I don't understand? I did everything as posted.

Hah, this made me smile.

Anyway, I had the exact same problem as you once, and I completely forgot how I fixed it. Hope that reinstalling the drivers works for you.


Issue 16 made me feel like this.
Warning: This poster likes to play Devil's Advocate.

Is Triple Buffering enabled? You want both Vertical Sync and Triple Buffering on.

It's in the driver installation. It's corrupted, as shown by the funky looking dates.

Maybe someone with more experience with recent nVidia driver cleaning and installation can be of better assistance.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Re-download Drivers from NVidia Site, When and Removed all my Graphical Drivers again and re-installed. resulting in this output. And I still have the same Driver information. I have no idea what else to do if the Drivers are fouled as they have to be fouled in the download

Just to make sure, you did use this link to download the drivers? I don't think a different OS version would install, but I'm not gonna swear to anything nVidia does with drivers.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Far as I can tell yes I did!

I dunno if it'll help, but here's how I always do the drivers:

1) Download the correct drivers as needed for your video card (already done, I take it.)
2) Download Driver Sweeper from Guru3d: http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/
3) Install Driver Sweeper, DO NOT RUN yet.
4) De install any and *all* video drivers... ATI, NVidia, Intel, SiS... whatever you can find in the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.
5) Reboot to safe mode (F8 while rebooting, select just 'Safe Mode')
6) Run the Driver Sweeper and kill ALL video drivers (and just those. Not chipset, not audio... unless you wanna do those too... then go for it.)
7) reboot to normal mode, let the system figure itself out and get done with all gyrations.
8) THEN install the new NVidia drivers.

This works in most cases like this. Other than this, I don't know why you're not getting the right driver information.

All of that was followed twice.

By any chance do you have Steam? On some systems it interfers with the Nvidia drivers causing framerate loss and video glitches and it will show up in CoHHelper by causing the drivers to appear corrupt.

No I don't have Steam, I never had interest in it as I like buy boxes too much!

I when and got the Drivers again using the link that was provided above in this thread to be extra sure and removed Driver, Drive Sweeped the Drivers in Safe mode and re-installed from teh new file down loaded to another drive. The results are this.

As you can see the Driver information is still funny and I still have tearing any other ideas or am I have ing to wait until new drivers are made as it seems that the Corruption has to be on Nvidia side of things. Or are there other ideas on how to fix things?

Try a set of older drivers.

I was having massive trouble with the 190.38 driver set with my new GTX 260. I uninstalled 190.38 and went back to 185.85. Now everything's peachy.

You can find archived drivers here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us

So no one else has ever had this tearing problem before and it was a corrupted Driver? No one?

Personally, I'm not convinced that the incorrect driver listing from DX Diag and the tearing is related. If you go to your nvidia control panel and select system information on the bottom left, you can clearly see what version driver you are using.

For the sake of troubleshooting, I would forgo the specialized COx settings you have and set everything in the Nvidia control panel to default and see how that looks. Then, enable vsync and see if that helps.

Maybe its not true anymore but the bloom effects setting ingame always used to cause me issues and slowdowns, try turning that off.

Forgive me if this was stated already but, are you on a CRT or LCD monitor? Have you tried different refresh rates? Usually 60hz its standard on an LCD, sometimes it gets set to 59.

Are you using any overclocking utilities with the GPU? Something could be futzed with that.

What kind of framerate do you get in game?

LCD Screen it on 60, i look at the Bloom settings, Not over clock GPU. I have to Check that Frame rate as soon as a remember that command!
I am going to try thoise defaults right now!
