    Probably your GFX overheating. I`ve actually read about several GFX cards dying while playing this game.

    Definitely looks like heat induced artifacting to me-does that card have RAM cooling? It could be the memory thats inducing the artifacting-then again, even 67* Celsius is possibly too much for it.

    EDIT: Then again, it could just be a game error :hehe:

    Drivers can also do that, try completely uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them.

    Its in the 60s at idle?! Seems very high to me... have you changed anything on the card from stock? Liquid cooling, volt mod, etc?

    nvidia drivers slow the fan, or speed the fan, to keep it around there depending on the card.. my 6800 is always at 55c because the drivers will speed the fans up when the chip starts to get hotter

    With the Tach in the 7500 range on that Honda, I'd say you blew your engine.

    Hondas are Pentium 4's, they need stupidly high RPMS to produce even a little power.

    that's not high for a GPU...

    Tolsk, are you running with 12fp/5vp or have you modded the card to 16fp/6vp ?
