Just got my PNY 6600GT | Please Help |

[hoobastank68]

I have upgraded from a Radeon 9550 to a nVidia PNY 6600GT

3DMark05 Score went from 1050 on 9550 to a 2850 on 6600GT - > Overclocked to 550/1200 and got 3125

3DMark03 OCed got 8140

I'm using the official driver from nvidia's website and ran coolbits to overclock to 550/1200

Somehow in the Driver tab, there isn't option for me to monitor temperature, anyway to fix this or my Motherboard is too old..?

Main problem:

my game World of Warcraft runs worse than before as in that there are all weird breaks in the game appearing constantly, here're few screenshots to show this running in 1280x1024 resolution on my 19inch LCD

Many weird things happening there, even with same old config for the game

Here's a pic of the card.

if anyone knows a way to fix this please let me know,
also my FPS went down from 70 to 40-50s for Counter-Strike 1.6 :

Friend recommended I use a program from Guru3D to completely wipe out old ATI Driver before re-installing nVidia Driver, but not sure what the program is, any one know? thanks

I've tried using Drivers Cleaner Pro to clean old ATI driver and nVidia Driver in safemode before re-installing the driver again, still no hope. Thank you guys.

ugh are you overclocking and getting those artifacts. they seem like typical artifacts asociated with high core or mem clocks.

could be the cooler not making good contact either...

I just upgraded to one of the newest drivers from 3dGuru and it's working fine now..very weird that the stock gfx driver isnt working with the game and various other ones :\
