Bad Artifacts at higher resolutions in WoW

Hello all.

Currently, I run World of Warcraft ao 1024x768 no problem. However, whenever I push it into higher resolutions (desired would be 1600x1200 to match my monitor) I eventually see all sorts of artifacts. At first they are few and far between, then they get more common until it overloads my screen with them and I cant even see the game. I am running a 6600 GT with a P43.2 (OC from a 2.4) and 1 gig of 3200 RAM. I dont believe I have had this problem in any other game. I am running the 67.66 drivers.

However, I did look at the lastest release notes from Nvidia and they do state that other games are having problems at higher resolutions and that a fix will be in the kext driver release. SHould I try out one of the beta drivers (71.20 apparently is good) or should I perhaps look into getting a warrenty on this card.

I even went so far as to Underclock the card to see if it was a heat issue, but it still didnt solve the problem. Any help is welcome.

Currently running XP Pro with all the updates as well.

Definitely give one of the newer beta drivers a try. I'm using either 71.20 or 71.24, I honestly can't remember and I'm not on my computer at the moment. If a couple different driver versions do the same thing, I'd look into getting that replaced.
