Graphics glitches on new graphics card
I recently upgraded to an AMD R9 290. After going through all the steps to get the game to recognise the card AND deleting the cache files and options.ini multiple times, I still have weird graphics bugs, which the screenshots should illustrate.- Windows 10 x64
- AMD Phenom II x4 (3.4 GHz)
- 8GB RAM
- AMD R9 290

I followed your instructions, and made it recognise my R9 290 as a 7900. My PC can in theory run it perfectly.

Thanks: 108 in 1 Posts
do a clean run as nitromon wrote and try to adjust (lower/higher - it's sometimes trial and error) settings, worth try anyway

Well, WinTen is not a good gaming platform (not to mention its egregious privacy issues), forums are rife with complaints about it, mostly regarding graphics problems. You could try different vid drivers and/or play with driver settings (particularly AA mode, from Vista on this has been an issue with some games on some systems).
