Issue that seems to only occur on certain "layover" textures. An example is the sign for the gas station.
The main reason I am concerned by this is I want to do something in Chameleon, which has these giant posters on walls that flicker and disappear partially into walls like crazy.
This is probably just a driver issue, but maybe someone here has an idea.
Settings
Also if you happen to know what the newest nVidia driver that eliminates this is, that would be helpful.
Thanks |

Settings need to be done according to your hardware.  |

| Just out of curiosity, do you happen to have a log.txt in your game folder? If so, do you mind posting its contents? |

Hm OK, looks fine. I thought Mafia might use a weird depth buffer format or something but it looks alright.  |

How about this? Take a sniper rifle to Salieri's and look at the gas station through the scope. Does this happen?

Yes, this flickers for me, too. From what I can tell it also flickers in MWE so I guess the depth buffer resolution is simply not enough for the given geometry at that distance.  |

Oh dear.
If I were to guess, I'd say it's a driver issue. The problem could possibly be addressed by tweaking depth biases or something but that would require some RE I guess.
Have you already tried running the game (or Mafia for that matter) with dgVoodoo's d3d8 -> 9 wrapper? |

Yes. No effect or CTD.
I guess all I can do is try the oldest drivers that will go on my card, and if that doesn't do it, this card is basically partially incompatible with these games. Sucky answer; upgrading your card is supposed to make games better, but eh. AGP was a long time ago.
Someone liked my private video  Good, a lot of effort went into it! |
