"Sparkling when playing Doom 3?"

I’ve just bought Doom 3.

I have a P4 3.2 GHZ, 512 RAM with a 9800x radeon card.

All in all, an ok machine.

Anyway, when I’m playing Doom 3, I keep getting white specs on the screen, some to the point where it makes the game unplayable. Sometimes the specs are red dots.

I’m no wizard when it comes to computers, so is there anything I can do to rid the small white dots?

Seems like a graphic card problem?

Any simple solution. Does the 1.1 patch sort this out? Any simple soloution?

This is frustrating and wrecking my enjoyment of this game.

Cheers

Sounds like the GPU is over heating. What sort of cooling do you have on your graphics card? Have you been a little over clocking wh*re?

White specks could have been cause due to downloading to much porn and the red ones back up this theory and you should see a doctor.

Usually artifacting is caused by one of two things, overheating or a damaged video card.
