Getting weird graphic glitches on 6800GT

N0M4D · 11-04-05, 05:06 PM

My card never used to do this. It runs at great frame rates but there is constant texture glitches. It does the same thing on every game I play. My thought is somehow dust collected on the card and is causing it to glitch. And i that's the case, I've tried cleaning it and it still does it. I don't have an air can though, was gonna try that next. Is it possible it's completely broken or do you think I can fix it?

try downloading the last 8x.xx drivers from www.nvidia.com . try dusting it off. heat can be the problem, make sure it has good cooling (like an extra fan, or a better one, and check the temperature in the nVidia control panel). If its overclocked, your OC might be too high. Most likely the drivers and/or heat.

good luck!

It has the latest drivers, believe me i've tried everything. I'm going to the store to buy an air can and the current temp is 58 degrees. is that ok?

*UPDATE*
