  • graphics card memory integrity program?

    is there a program out there which can test the integrity of the ram chips on my graphics card by writing to all the video ram then somehow verifying if its good or corrupt?

    the reason i ask is that i have had a radeon 7000 running in my system for a week, before i pulled my parhelia all was well, i installed the radeon, and all was well, when i removed the radeon i cleaned the drivers using driver cleaner and also used reg vac to prune the registry. Now i have my parhelia back it runs fine in everything, single head and triple head, except for Operation flashpoint which looks like it has memory corruption in both single head and surround - flashpoint original runs fine, its just the game of the year edition which is corrupt. I am thinking that i got rid of something i should not have when i wiped bits from the reg, but the problem is identical to when i overclock the ram too much in flashpoint. Card is at bulk clocks, and runs everything else fine till the cows come home. Any ideas. i dont want to reinstall OF because it has all of my saved game files.

    You should be able to find your save games somewhere in the game folder.

    Other than that I don't know what your issue is, there are people that can help you more than I can.

      Any video card diagnostic programs would basically have to be written by the manufacturer, since they would need specific low level hardware calls and direct driver access to disable windows writing to the framebuffer while the diagnostic is running.

        ATI, used to have a diagnostic program in their drivers....
