graphics issue?

[Brognan]

i have a nvidia 8500gt, and im sitting here playing wow...i kno i kno and all of a sudden i have these huge triangles that are connected to a random object ingame shooting off in every direction stretching as fas as i can see...and if i change the camera angle it will change or go away...

is it a card issue? or a driver issue? just curious...maybe i should just get a new card lol

Is it artifacts you are talking about. If so, then it's caused by overheating. Download Nvidia Nune and check your temps.

i should have known it would have been that, sometimes the card drivers crash as well

Man, you're lucky you're getting a sign or something. My just melted. Seriously. Not the same graphics card though. One day, I got so many blue screens of death, then I went to check out what was wrong. Card was melting. So then I just took it out. I was an nVidia 5 series I think. I have no idea. Maybe a 6.

Those temps are fine. Have you installed the latest drivers from Nvidia?

[Brognan]

Are you having this problem only with WoW or with all games?
