    After playing it for about an hour, the road, cars, buildings, etc. started rendering slower than before. Now 40 minutes later they stopped appearing at all, no matter how long you wait. The card temperature is at 68C according to ThermoFan and the fan doesn't run too hard. The laptop in general doesn't feel hot.

    I thought problems like this are caused by overheating, but it can't be that.

    This is what I'm talking about: http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/2089/gtaac6.jpg
    Any ideas? I have the 180.48 drivers.
