I have a strange problem. I'm not quite sure what it is right yet, maybe drivers, maybe power, or maybe something else.
ok i thought i should show you the problem:

the first one is the military crew openinng scene on 3dmark05 (i think, you should recognize it barely)
the second is not so noticable, look at the front, the fog, it is mildly affected (this is D3D mode CS1.6)
I have a brand new A8n sli deluxe, PX 6600GT Leadtek winfast, 550w antec true power, windows xp sp2. i installed nvidia drivers, cd leadtek drivers, and newest leadktek website drivers and all give the same problem. i hooked up only the 20pin because my power supply only supported it. i plugged in the extra 4-pin connector around the top middle-left and the ez plug power beside the video card. when i start windows all is well. when i start counter strike source, or 3dmark05 i get blocks of purple or other strange colors and its all distorted. is the memory of my brand new video card fried or something? what could possibly be wrong? will i need a 20->24 pin connector for this to work properly? even the title screen for source is bugged, which i cant imagine puts huge load on the gpu, so im wondering what it is :/
of course no overclocking, at least for now. also tried 67.03.
is this a hardware shading defect or memory or something?
hmm i tested open gl 640x480 800x600 1024x768 and they all work (using CS 1.6) next i bump color up to 32bit and there is goes. only 640x480 @ 32bit seems to work.
D3D at anything higher than 640x480 16bit says its not supported.
anything know about this? im starting to think some ram is fried
