    Graphical Glitching: Radeon 9800 Pro

    Anybody else with a 9800 Pro (or any other card) experiencing serious graphical glitching? Occasionally I get rainbow textures etc but the more serious ones are best explained by screenshots:





    I played for months without this ever happening and now it seems to be all the time; I'm fairly certain it isn't an overheating issue, I keep my case pretty well ventilated and cooled, and the office is air-conditioned as it is, but who knows. It's strange that it doesn't occur on my gf's computer, which has a 9700 AIW; never happens there. I've also tried 4 different driver revisions.

    Anyone have any ideas? I'm getting pretty frustrated, and wasn't looking forward to springing for a new graphics card until I can get a motherboard that supports pcie.

    When was the last time you cleaned out all of the components insde your case?
    I have a well ventilated case too, which means that dust and crud accumilates faster because of the higher airflow.
    A good clean once a month is recommended.
