Halo problem with 8800GTX

[eapro]

This has been going on for a while on and BFG is unable to help me.
I have updated all drivers for my computer after formating and still no go.
Oddly this only happens in Halo (no prob in BF2).
Here are some screens:

artifacts, is your card running at default speeds? If it is, RMA with BFG right away and give them those screen shots.

yes it is but I wish I could avoid RMA.

When I called BFG, the agent said it must be halo conflicting with the card since this problem is only with halo. So I don't think there is a problem with the card.

Can you do me a favor? Download 3DMark06 and run that. See if there is anything weird happening.

@ownage:
doing now, results in a few minutes.

Edit: holly shit that shit is like 580mb - 4hours :S

Just because it only happens with Halo it doesn't mean its a Halo problem. That just might be the game putting most strain on your card.

I'm sure Battlefield 2 puts more strain on it than Halo. Just compare the recommended specs, and you'll see what I mean.

Anyway, have you tried reinstalling the game? It's possible that some of the textures are screwed up.
