    can try updated drivers to see if that fixes the problem. could also be bad video ram or gpu.

    How is your case airflow? If this is happening on every game you play (not just GTA) maybe your graphics card is getting too hot. Make sure you have a nice amount of intake and exhaust fans.

    As ddp said I would update your video (and every) drivers and see where that gets you. You could also try updating the game as well and see if that helps. Best of luck.

    Peace

    Non on them, everything is up to date, i reallyneed a soloution to this problem.

    I dont know about the grafix card heating, because it happens as soon as i load a game, However,

    When i play need for speed Carbon and set the resouloution high then no spikes, however with other games when i set the resoloutions same as Carbon the spikes still appear.

    This is my Computer;

    It says the Airflow is perfect and not to mess with it.

    Who says the airflow is perfect, the Shuttle website? That seems like a pretty small case and I don't see an intake fan so airflow would be much better in a normal mid-tower case with an intake fan in front.

    Oh trust me, in shuttle cases, the airflow is FAR from perfect, it's just about acceptable.
    As for the problem at hand, I still think it's a driver issue, have you tried going with an earlier version of the drivers?
