That's a screenshot from Bioshock. Notice the clusters of pixels across the screen. Those show up all of the time, whether I'm in a game or not. Every game has different display artifacts but they're all sort of related to the clustered pixels.

My temps are about 36 on idle and 47 on load (I believe, it's been about a week since I checked).

I've installed the latest drivers and what not, but my problem stays. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do?

Also, here are my specs:

e8400 @ 3.0GHz
EVGA 8800GT
550w Corsair PSU
4gb ocz gold

Running in vista 64bit, and NOTHING is overclocked.

have you tried rolling back the drivers?

Can you switch cards with another computer to narrow the issue down?

I've tried using a couple of different drivers, same problem persists.

Unfortunately, I cannot use this on any other machine as this is the only one I have.
