By "simple" I mean graphically undemanding. Games such as Thief 2, Duke Nukem 3d and Machinarium.
So ye... hi there
These games starts ok but in a matter of minutes turn unplayable as the whole display goes corrupted with white noise and horizontal bars/ artifacts.
The corruption persists after exiting the games (albeit in a mellower form) and is not fixed till restarting.
My card is a Sapphire 6850.
Temps are reasonable.
Drivers up-to-date.
The issue does not occur with newer/ more demanding games. That and the fact that I tried to take a screenshot of my corrupted desktop but the saved pic shows a perfectly normal desktop, leads me to believe it's a software, not a hardware, issue.
Can you help me point the culprit?
