Weird video glitches, need help ?

[Weenis]

Hey guys I still have the setup as in my sig and I was wondering if anyone can tell me from exp. what exactly this is..

Whats happening is in quite a few different games, STALKER, Supreme Commander, C&C 3 demo, NWN2, etc.. textures get torn off the model and stretch sometimes the whole way across the screen, it happens randomly, and they stay there like if the texture was just allowed to be pulled off and stretched out .. its EXTREMELY annoying and makes most everything unplayable.. I've tried other drivers and I can't find anything that fixes it.. Wondering if its a dead card? ( its not overheating even under full load it hits about 75C on the GPU core)

I can get screen shots if necessary I figure its probably more common than than just happening to me.

Screenshots would verify what I'm thinking... but it sounds like you have a soon to be dead card on your hands.

Post up a screen, but like I said.. I think you better start shopping for a new card.

Yep... Your card is dying.

ugh.. thanks for the heads up.. glad BFG has a lifteime warranty.. hopefully they do advanced replacement because i dont have any other PC for Uni work

Yeah, he is right. Your card is cooked.

vertex shaders r teh dead only solution is RMA unless you want to start lockin vertex' in rivatuner and lose some performance

That is EXACTLY what I'm experiencing with my eVGA 7900gt. (I recently posted the problems I was having with this card on hardforum [http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1170365].)

Thank you very much for posting a screenshot.

I bet just changing video drivers to 84.21 would work. I had a similar issue with my 7900gt.. the switch from the latest drivers to 84.21 fixed the problem and gave more fps too!

Drivers are not causing the OP's problem.. a dying card is
