I upgraded from an unlocked and OCed GF6200 to a currently unmodded PNY 6800GS and have had problems right out of the box. I have even tried underclocking it to see if tha could help out and it does not seem to.

3dmark03 runs fine. There are no problems with that. I cant run any of hte later ones becuase of my current CPU (lack of SSE instructions). I have a 2500+ XP-M on the way.

In World of Warcraft, the small buttons used for scrolling or zooming in and out on the map as well as the self portrait/ health meter and target info area are distorted and unrecognizable. There is also some frequent flickering where characters or objects disappear and reappear randomly and sometimes all at once. The interface at times also completely disappears. There is also an intermittant pink or red hue that appears on certain objects. They always appear and reappear on the same objects... perhaps only the lighter colored areas. Changing the settings only seems to effect what the unintelligable garbage looks like and the frequency of the flickering/discoloration.

In Americas Army, the ground is constantly pink/red. Some objects are invisible, such as a table top not visible while the objects on the table are. The objects that are visible appear fine. Changing the video settings has no significant observable effect.

Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries seems to have no problems whatsoever even on the highest possible settings.

Computer Specs:
CPU: Athlon XP 1.0Ghz @ 1.4
Mobo: Abit NF7-S
Mem: 2x512MB SuperTalent PC3200 2.5-3-3-8
PSU: Hercules 500w 28A3.3V 38A5V 17A12V

Card: Geforce 6800GS
IRQ: 19
Memory:256 MB
DirectX version :9.0c
Driver: 84.21

Let me know if you need more info, should you so choose to help me with my problem. Thanks in advance.
