Bosses are invisible.. I can't tell if its my video card, PSU or the game..

Sometimes in dungeons the bosses are invisible and all I can see is their title text. I also get a good amount of crashes and choppy play with low fps drops to 19. I have a 6950 2gb and 8gb of ram with a AMD FX 6100. I have a good PSU Corsair 520w.. I ran a PSU calc and even with 40% cap aging I have just enough power. Says Min is 519 watts and rec is 569 watts. I can take the overclock off of my CPU and only need 450 watts but still have the same problem.

I don't want to buy a PSU to only find out it was the video card or find out its the games fault.

I got the same card and the only monsters that become semi-invisible for me are Odin and Behemoth since people zerg those. (I need to stand really close to them to see them.)

Sounds like something is wrong with your card or it's drivers.

It's a card issue - Sometimes Ultima and Gaius will become invisible when they port/I move my camera a certain way. Try redoing drivers.

I'd guess your Radeon HD 6950 is on the way out if not your RAM. It's also possible you've overclocked the 6950 too much putting unnessary strain (and heat) on it. Run the game with it back on factory settings and/or try running the game on High rather than Max settings (i'm assuming you are on max). Your processer is aging but should be fine...

If you want a comparison, I'm running this game on a first gen i7 920 processor (it's now obsolete), Raedon HD 5670 (old for Radeon cards), and 16 GB RAM without issues on High settings. I was able to benchmark decent scores on max settings, but it's not feasible for live.

Sorry card has never been overclocked I mean my AMD 6100 is overclocked to 4.73.. The CPU is only a year old and is water cooled.

The video card has lifetime warranty but how do I test to see if its the video card? Benchmarks give it no issues. Ram is a little over a year old too and passes ram tests.
