I am having problems running cnc3.
I have met all the minimum requirements yet errors occur when a highly detailed scenery (example: Nod nuke explodes.) occurs. Also ive set all settings to low even the resolution to 800x600 yet there are some false-color images and glitches occur in some terrain and structures. I really need help!

My Specs:
Pentium(R) 4 3.20 ghz
1024 gb of RAM
ATI Radeon 9600/X1050 series 256mb
Windows XP Professional

Chances are your graphics card or CPU is overheating. Use a program like GPU-Z to keep track of your GPU temp, and RealTemp or CoreTemp to keep track of your CPU temp.

You might have to de-dust fans/heatsinks or improve airflow.

Also, minimum requirements on games are the setups that are required to run the game at absolute minimum settings, and even then it's not a 60-fps guarantee.

i get these glitches in all games, either when i turn AA on too high, or when my card is OC'ed too much and overheating.
