I've been having weird images on a couple of games lately, mohaa and Need for Speed most wanted. I upgraded my video drivers twice in the last 2 months with no effects at all. Everything is running for quality and application controlled. WHat should i do to get rid of those silly things. I got an MSI NX6800GT TD256 vid card. Thanks for any help!

Those things looks like more of a driver issue than artifacts imo. Maybe you should set the details to lowest with FSAA/AF off to see if those weird image still exist. If it only happen when you set to a specific details i.e FSAA on 4x then I will turn those off. If those image still exist, then I will check the temperature of your GPU during heavy gaming to see if it's overheating...

Sometimes odd-ball type issues in gaming can be traced back to a suspect PSU.
Can you supply the details of yours?
Also do you have fastwrite turned on?
And your motherboard's chipset drivers - are they up-to-date?
You might wind up being able to resolve this via a process of elimination.
Good luck!

Is that problem only happen in NFSMW or also happen in other games? If it only happen in NFSMW, then I will try to obtain the latest patch from their official website to see if that solves the problem...
