Also consider that you may be overheating, because that sounds like artifacting to me.

Its not. Artifacting will show up as pixels. These are defined shapes that are happening. Artifacts show up as errors which is why they show up as pixels or blocks. his card is most likely operating in its defined spec with a ton of room to spare. Artifacting will never produce a mesh with an overlaid texture!

Only a driver or another issue such as lack of RAM could produce what he is describing.

Its a driver problem.
Unfortunately X plane is an opengl game, you would have done better buying an Nvidia card.

it was overheating. when it happens, i feel-check the processor and guess what? i almost burn myself. so i have the case as open as it gets, because the fan on the cover is dinky and can barely do anything (obviously i am overworking my power supply too)

and actually, seth, that IS what i was talking about in my first problem post. but now its fixed.

thanks for all the help and expertise guys!

I think those are the Texas powerlines that feed Bill's new computer.
