    Hello again everyone,

    I'm an avid player of Blizzard's [bold]World of Warcraft[/bold],
    which is combined with ATI's RADEON X1900XT.
    When I play the screen gets blotchy and flashes in random areas onscreen.

    (I believe this is called screen tearing)

    I see a large grid of squares on different parts of the page, [flashing] for a second then going away. The video is just not right. I go into WoW's Video Settings and turn the V-Sync off but that doesnt change anything.

    What is wrong & what can I do to fix this problem??

    [[NOTE: This has been happening since installation of the program/game.]]

    I'm going to try and get some screens of the problems but I am away from home at the moment. Will attempt to post screens Sunday evening(9/3/06)(EasternStandardTime~GMT -5 Hrs)

    Thanks, --Jordan

    try updating the drivers. That might help. Is the card overclocked?

    Card should be running normal ;; not overclocked.
