I saw a post on the Ubi forum from a guy who had the exact same graphics card as me (Nvidia 6800 Ultra) and his graphics looked fine based on the screenshots he posted. So drivers are maybe a suspect...
I also saw someone else mention something about if you haven't completely rebooted the PC and have been running the game and installed the patch between PC sessions where you didn't fully shutdown (standby mode) that it somehow screwed things up and rebooting/reinstalling fixed their problem. Seemed unlikely to me...
So tonight I'm gonna first try just a full reboot (or as I like to call it, the tech support approach to fixing anything.) Next I'll try a driver upgrade, and if all else fails, I'll revert to the clean install and repatch.
