Just recently started playing some games again ( for grins)
Duke Nukem Forever and RAGE (Steam)

Getting all kinds of artifacts and in rage the screen goes completely wacko. In Nukem a minimize and restore usually fixes the artifacts, not in RAGE.

GPU is a GTX 460 1gb GDDR5 CPU is a Core 2 Quad 9650 with 4gb memory in XP.

I suspect XP and Direct X 9 may be the problem. Older games play fine. A reboot fixes the bug short run.

Fans are running fine. Anything to tweak ? Turned off write combining. Has to be something to tweak. If I need a new GPU no problem but I may need to finally update THIS box to 7. Both shop boxes are running W7. A lot of older SW I use almost daily here is why I am dragging my feet. Dual boot may be a option.

thanks
Merry Christmas.
