my 8800 gt wasnt working right. it was getting terrible fps and since i had switched from amd i assumed it was a driver issue. but i just reinstalled windows after a reformat and im getting flashing textures in episode 2 and im dropping to around 20-30 fps ALOT. did i get a bad card or could there be a driver im missing. i have the nvidia one, the chipset driver, the audio driver, the lan driver.
 
You're being very vague... You probably need to update your Direct X.
Vista?
What drivers? tweaked ones or forceware?
Do this
start>run> type in dxdiag
click save information to text file. Post that file here (not the text, a link to the file)
 
when i diabled my second monitor i got a constant 30 fps in quake wars, but it didnt fix my hl2 issue. please. im so frustrated right now. i just wanna cray that my new 280 dollar card that i even did a reformat for and my itunes wont work. isnt working
 
try this : find driver sweeper it will force the video card drivers(clean both the ati and the nvidia drivers) out of the system, then grab the latest drivers from www.nvidia.com
Next if you havent already update your motherboard drivers either intel.com, nvidia.com ....

Also check in your bios and make sure your pci express is set to the maximum, if you have an sli board, make sure you have the slot set to 16x...

Maybe a bios update?
Also make sure you have the power connector on the card plugged in and also that your power supply can handle the junk you have in the machine (500watt minimum???)
antec.com has a power calculator utility on their website

hope this helps if im missing anything feel free to add to the list
