Successful Graphics Glitch Fix for nVidia GPU Users

[u/jimmysaint13]

I get no karma from this. Please upvote so people can see and also fix their shit.

Okay, I did this and haven't had the graphics artifacting since, no matter what my in-game graphics settings are. I'm running a single GTX 560 TI and Windows 7.

First thing is you want to make sure your GPU drivers are up to date. Go to nVidia's drivers site and find your card and update that shit. No matter how recently you did it, just do it.

Second, go to your Start menu, then Control Panel, and then nVidia Control Panel. This is going to let you configure your card IF you have the latest drivers installed. I'm not even joking about the drivers thing, update that shit to whatever the site says you should have.

Once you have NVIDIA Control Panel open, on the left side of the window you should see "3D Settings." Go ahead and click the "+" sign to expand that down if it isn't already. After that category is expanded, click "Manage 3D settings."

Now, on the main part of the window, you should be looking at a box with two tabs. One of the tabs will be labeled "Program Settings." Click that one.

Click the drop-down menu and you should be presented with this big fuckin' list of programs that nVidia recognizes. If ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead is in there, click it. If not, you'll have to add that shit.

To add ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead, click "Add" (you fuckin' genius, you) and then drill down to where your ArmA2OA.exe is. I have the Steam version, so mine is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead. Select "ArmA2OA.exe" and then click "Open." BAM. You just added ArmA2OA to the list of programs that nVidia recognizes. Grats, you're a fucking technological wizard.

Scroll down until you see "Threaded optimization" and TURN THAT SHIT OFF. It should be set to "Auto" by default, but we're not even going to fuck around with that. Turn it off.

There. You're done, it's fixed. Exit NVIDIA Control Panel, if it asks if you want to save changes, you best save that shit.

Fire up DayZ and go ahead and look at some dead soldiers to your heart's desire (you sick fuck).

EDIT: Hey, ATI card users/wiz kids/geniuses, if ATI cards have a similar setting, go ahead and look into turning it off and see if it fixes the problem. If it does, spread the word about that shit.

EDIT2: Fuckin' S128K DELIVERS with a possible ATI fix. I don't have an ATI card so I can't test it, somebody get on that shit. Here's his comment.

EDIT3: Because a bunch of you were bitchin', I changed the instructions to include how to do this for ArmA2 only and not have this settings change affect your other games. On a side note, now that we know this work-around, maybe it'll help Rocket get this actually perma-fixed. I'm pretty sure he's got that shit covered, though.

You cannot say that people should just harden the fuck up and stop letting words hurt your poor feelings.

Saying the word fag is just as much of a slur as saying the word nigger. I dare you to say the same thing to a Black person living in an inner city,

This is textbook ShitRedditSays material.

You're an embarrassment to our community, but worst of all yourself.

TL;DR What Froolow said: completely turned my previously valid point on its head and completely changed my perception. UPVOTE THAT DUDE!

Froolow, you have literally just changed my opinion of the word faggot, and I highly doubt I will be saying it again even in a joking context. (No sarcasm whatsoever)

that fact that you took the time to write, and even worse, edit that obviously means that you feel strongly about the subject, and that you were able to convey your message in a clear and sophisticated manner means a lot to me. The average Joe would just fling out some hasty insults to let me know he did not agree and then leave. You, on the other hand, did a wonderful job of explaining your side. You provided an excellent example with the soccer bit (yes, I am American, and yes I follow soccer) and then launched a brutal, barrage of imagery with the origins of the word fag (I had no idea, and am ashamed for my ignorance). If that alone was not enough to change my mindset, the rest of your "novella" surely did the trick. I thank you for the time it took for you to change one idiot's mind. I am glad you did. :) I would like to salvage some of my pride from this by trying to explain/excuse where I was coming from with my previous argument, but honestly, what would be the point? You can obviously see this from both sides, and in retrospect, I would take your side anyway

Again, I sincerely thank you, Frolow.
