Anyone else Have lots of graphics anomolies

Hi out there I just purchased an i7 M11x. I've had it around a month and most of my games seem to have a good deal of strange graphical things going on in them. Mostly lines popping in and out that shouldn't be there and lots of tearing and stuff popping in and out. I've never had a computer do this sort of thing before and wonder if I have a bad graphics card or is it a driver issue from nvidia?

Half Life 2 is almost unplayable but I would say any 3d graphically intense game I have does these wired things. I just stopped playing Elder Scrolls IV because of the weirdness and figured it was time I asked someone. I wish I had some pictures. This is also happening in Transformers, and Team Fortress 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, and Split/Second. I am not however getting these glitches almost at all in Torchlight and Starcraft II.

Any advise would be much appreciated should I be waiting for new drivers or calling and asking about a new machine?

Anyone else seeing similar issues?

 

is the laptop overclocked at all? which graphics drivers are you using?

 

Sounds lie you have a problem with the nvidia card itself being defective.

What nvidia drivers are you using? Is anything overclocked?

 

At the moment no it is not overclocked. I am also using the most current drivers from the Dell Page the 257.30 A01 Driver

 

yeah sounds like you've got an issue with the video card, you could try other drivers to make sure on it and also get some hardware monitoring software and see what temp the video card is at while running 3d.

 

Make sure to install new drivers correctly.

Uninstall old driver, reboot into safemode, run driver sweeper and get rid of display driver, reboot, and install new driver.

Make sure the nvidia card is running instead of intel.
