uhhhh whats the problem?

I would get strange artifacts clipping/weird triangle shapes with different drivers for my vid card (gf8800gtx). Try different driver version and see if it goes away.

I used to get some really bad screen corruptions with bf2 (and only that game at the time).. so I blame the game heh. Check your vid card temperature as well .. see if its maybe overheating.

What? I don't see any artifacts in there..?

[Logi11]

Ehh prob a defective bit of video ram. That or your car dis overheating.

[Logi11]

no way to fix it?

[caldvn]

Too many possibilities. Fix the software side, try new drivers, adjust your in game video settings. Tweak tweak tweak.

If it still doesn't work, call the manufacturer for replacement. That's all there is to it.

Oh. I thought that was a rope going through the jungle. lol

Are you running 2 instances of WoW on 1 machine? Both run from the same directory by chance?

If so, do you get the problem when only running a single instance?

I used to have this everytime a character with a Thunderfury would walk by, he would leave artifacts in the terrain similar to the screen shot you made. Those these were obviously leftovers from his weapon's periodic spark effect.

These are also sometimes found in LBRS (between the ogre and the trol larea), Gnomer (lab area), Stockades (behind and on the portal) and Maraudon (where you encounter the elemental patrols, croc, and meet the giants). But are keyed to geography as if the world is poorly stitched together or the zipper is showing and has a flaw.

Still at times you will have a goofy texture on models, like having walls with item shoulder textures or what not

The first thing I would try, because its the simplest. Its to close all your apps and defrag your machine to its performance height. All the instance stitching issues are often problems loading the textures and models in a timely fashion. This solved my Thunderfury problem. Potentially it would have fixed itself if a new wow patch was big enough or something.

Look and see if the addons are consuming a sick amount of memory. Like your running some distributed itemsync or mobhealth thing. This can cause stitching problems.

You can use taskmanager or something to check out how much memory wow is taking up. If wow runs out of memory is will have problems pushing textures.

Obviously there is that setting in the graphics area where it says it deal with remnants.

Try to deactivate "maximized" in Windows mode, because the Nvidia Drivers have problems with the new patches (or some patches before)
