I recently upgraded to the Nvidia 6800 go from the Radeon X-300. I tried running some of my favorite games to test the card. When I ran Call Of Duty United Offensive it had some weird graphical glitches. Purple blocks would appear on certain textures along with some other graphical problems. I tried several different drivers, dells drivers, and 3 different forceware drivers I believe they were forceware 84.25, and im currently running 84.69. None of the drivers worked and I continue to have graphical glitches. I ran a demo of Doom 3 and it does the same thing. Sid Meires pirates would work for like the first 30 min, and then I would get the same prob, purple blocks and various graph glitches. I ran DXDIAG and everything works well, no problems. All drivers were installed/unistalled with ADD/REMOVE programs, as well as driver cleaner. Any Ideas on what the problem might be? possibly overheating? or could it just be a bad card?
