Problem with 16 bit on x4500

Hello

I have mobile x4500 (Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Family) I have problem running game in 16 bit set for r_colorbits, game is quakelive.com. When I only put this value I get this : http://imgur.com/MT9av http://imgur.com/MT9av please click on image to see full size. It looks like even grate or "dots". This even shape is always constant, but only visible on 3D view, please look at icons, indicators, it's not there. Can any one explain this effect? I must say that r_colorbits 16 enables much FPS improvement , but this visual effect is annoying. On other graphic cards , the same setting is displayed properly - no grate, dots, that's why I came here , it looks like graphic/driver card related. In 32bits evertything is fine. Please help

Hi there

Color quality settings are the number of colors that your graphics solution supports. The more colors available for use, the more realistic the image, but again, the more colors on your screen, the greater the processing demands on your system, lowering your graphics settings at 16-bit color, your images may suffer.

Please try testing installing the latest graphics driver at:

I also recommend checking game troubleshooting information here:
