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

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

I suspect XP and Direct X 9 may be the problem. Older games play fine.

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

thanks
Merry Christmas.
