Since march, whenever I play BF2, I randomly get patches of black in the ground, sky and in/on buildings too. My GFX card is a BFG 6800GT OC 267MB.
Since the glitches started, I have reinstalled windows, tried numerous different gfx card drivers, tried several different graphics settings levels, cleared my cache everytime i change my BF2 settings, checked my gpu temps, but nothing seems to have had any noticable effect on the problem. Sometimes it starts at the very beginning after I join a game, and other times it wont start happening until I've been in-game for awhile. It does it on all maps. The GPU temps while in-game hover around 70C, however I can't find any correlation between temperature and this problem.
Do you think I should just RMA the graphics card? Or, is it possible this is a system memory issue? I did upgrade to 2GB of Corsair Value Select (pretty crappy ram) in march, so perhaps...but has anyone else found any causes or solutions for similar problems like this? I searched the forums and found a few people with similar problems, but no remedy was found. I have already gone through about 3 BFG 6xxx series cards (they kept failing), so it wouldn't be too shocking to find out it was just the gfx card gone bad.
I have included a few screenshots of the issue. These are *mild* cases. In more severe instances roughly 1/3 to 1/2 of the screen will be splotchy black slash things.
