Hey, since I bought this new BFG 6600GT OC'ed, I keep getting this weird graphics problem playing any BF game. I noticed it happens always late at night never in the morning or afternoon. Its really annoying because it renders playing impossible. But it allows me sometimes to see through buildings, hehe :)... I dont know how to explain but I think you can see for yourselves from the pictures.
My specs are far from the best but I've been playing BF2 ever since it shipped out, but on a 9600XT, so I dont think its the problem :
P4 1.6 GHZ
1GB ram

it could be getting to hot from your oc... Try defaulting your video card speeds etc.
Try updating your video card drivers

Try setting it back to default. You may have OVER overclocked it and get weird artifacts and such.
Your gonna burn her out if you dont turn it down.

Thanks for the help guys but the card is the BFG version so it came OC'ed out of the box, I didn't do it.
Any more help is welcome

I had a similar problem with the the bfg 6800gt oc,it was the video card drivers that came with the card. Try using the ones that come with bf2 or if you haven't already, try the latest from nvidia.

No I haven't installed the drivers from the CD, I used the newest forceware and even switched to the ones from Tweaks R Us, no results :|:

If it isn't interfering with your gameplay I'd see this as a blessing so you can see the enemy through walls!! hehehe. Yes, i know its not a helpful comment but i had to give you some feedback since you helped me with my 9600XT PSu question. lol. Hope you get it sorted.

Have you tried deleting your cache?
Did you use Driver Cleaner when you switched from your ATI to the nVidia card?
.. sorry, if you have...just trying to help

Yes, I've used cab cleaner and driver cleaner when I switched..
For me I think it might be a heating issue, you see, this problem occurs late at night so my PC has been turned on for the whole day, it never happens early in the morning or afternoon. According to my PC, the card is at a steady 43° dont know if its good or bad..

Make sure that ALL of your internal fans are working...CPU, GPU, chipset (if applicable), PSU, and chassis!
GPU fans are known to go wonky...so be SURE it's up to snuff!
