(don't know if this is the right forum to post this in, if it isn't please excuse me)

Lately i have been having big issues with my graphics in EVE wich seem to affect other games i startup AFTER i've started upt (and sometimes closed down) eve online.

In eve the screen gets "flickering horizontal bars" and ship + station models get a violent flickering red overlay on them.
If i change the presentation interval back & forth, it all seems normal, but after changing ship - leaving station - jumping through a gate, the problem pops back up.


Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.110622-1506)
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 930 @ 2.80GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
Memory: 12288MB RAM
Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD5870 (crossfired)
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
DX Setup Parameters: Not found
DxDiag Version: 6.01.7601.17514 64bit Unicode

My graphic driver is up to date.
I also made some photo's , since screenshots weren't affected by the graphics issue.

(bad quality photo's as they were made with my phone)

I'm currently reinstalling eve and hope that will do something.
UPDATE: Reinstalled eve and my graphic drivers, no changes :(.


Any help will be greatly appreciated! :D

Google "oven trick ocforums". I make a living off buying graphics cards with this fault, doing the oven trick, confirming the repair and selling them again.

Before people try to argue ethics on this I just do the same thing companies do on RMA and I sell with warnings.

Its a Crossfire/Driver problem, dont go baking your cards like DanFraser is saying.

I had a similar problem, turn off "3d" mode for your cards in the Graphics menu ( not the EVE client )... its trying to show you a left / right eye with the red / blue shift. I disabled 3D and it went away.

Hope this helps
