while playing sro i get strange "stuff" all over my screen and it cause me to DC im not sure how to describe it because it is no more than that random stuff such as weapons get huge or something and cover the whole screen and wierd random colored shapes appear i'll try to screenshot is later

it occurs more often when bloom effect is turned on and only on the resolution 1280 by 1024. i have just reinstalled the client and reinstalled my drivers and i still get this problem , it is also not the monitor because i used the monitor from the other pc and still got it

video card: gefore 6800 256mb
1gig ram
amd sempron 2.0 processor
also all other games work fine
here is a screenshot i took of it

Go to http://www.guru3d.com and download the newest 3dMark (it is a rather large file, but well worth it). After installing it, run the demo's, and watch them for anomalies. This will tell you if your GPU is overheating, or if you have corrupted memory on the card itself.

You problem is a classic example of a bad graphics card.

well now i have a good reason to buy a new video card can anyone tell me if you can get a 512mb card for 250$?

I have an nVidia 7900GTO 512MB which is amazing, and it only costs ~$249.

ok i downloaded 3dmark and i got a glitch like the one above during the second test so now i have another question

if i got a video card like yours would i be able to run detailed shadows even though my processor is only AMD Sempron Processor 3400+, MMX, 3D now , ~2.0GHz and i have only 1 gig or RAM?

thanks in advance

btw i have found one on newegg for only 189.99$ is this a good card?

That's a fine card.

Is the second test the one with the forest?

And no, I can't even run detailed shadows, I use circles. But I max everything else.

yes it was the forest one that it glitched on i find it kinda odd that it messed up on the least graphically intense one of them all

is that a 6800xt, I have one and it only gave artifacts twice and it was simply peoples arms stretching. I have a pci card dual fan blowing up on my card to keep it cooler, maybe try some extra cooling.
