This is how Portal looks like on my PC.
It's probably the same in the rest of the Orange Box games, but I haven't had time to try the yet.
I also had the same problem with Doom 3. But no other games.
I've updated my drivers, but it didn't help.

Also I've tried to turn off every in-game video option. Still no luck :\

If you need any other info, just ask here. Thanks=)

It's the card. Take it out and make sure than fan spins easily and that the heat sink is clean.

Cleaned alot of dust of it. Works WAY better now. Thanks alot=)
There still is hints of it though. Maybe I should get some new coolingpaste?

If it's one of those things where it shows up after a bit of use then it's still a heat issue. Reapplying thermal compound ought to help with that.
