Neither do I, but then again I've only checked the tinderbox page you provided & my card isn't fast/new enough to test the other nVidia drivers. But, looking around a bit I find bugs related to video 'tearing' [1] - not sure if it's related or not. Either way, the driver does (IMO) come into play as I can't reproduce on the legacy nVidia driver, an updated & relatively fast Intel Mobile 4 chipset/driver, or a very old 3Dfx Voodoo card. It can be reproduced on an nVidia 256.35 & 195.36 driver. So, appears to me to be a combination of whatever changes were made in SM _and_ the graphics card/driver. nVidia driver issues are not new, so I wouldn't discount that being a significant contributor to the issue. I've another machine with an old ATI card that I can try, but expect the results will be the same as my other machines.
