It could be the very early stages of card failure, or it could just be bad drivers or something; it's hard to tell just from that still. [t]http://www.playtool.com/pages/artifacts/screen0032fh.jpg[/t] If you see something like this, 100% confirmed dying card begging for quick mercy.
I think it may be a bug with the software and the hardware. It doesn't look like artifacting, just looks like a glitch. Run down the checklist to ensure that the card isn't bugging out because of maintencce issues: Ensure that the heatsink and fan of the graphics card is cleared from all dust/debri. If you updated your drivers lately, or since you last played this game, roll back your drivers and try playing the game again. See if the problem is reproduced. Also, you can see if this problem is happening with other games. if it is, you more than likely have a driver/hardware problem. See if the problem is reproducible, or random. If its reproducible, its a software problem.
