    I was playing DOW II today and randomly my screen will begin to flash and show all sorts of graphical problems. I have tried turning down the settings, restarting etc but what could be wrong? I though the 260m was fully capable of running DOW II? And I have the latest drivers. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

    temperatures (too high?),
    drivers (game doesn't like the one your using),
    patches (did updating dow2 cause?)

    I have heard a lot of people on the official forums complaining how the newest patch has caused immense slowdowns in performance.

    My temps are fine, and I am fully patched, I thought it might be the drivers too though, maybe the game just doesn't work well with the latest nvidia drivers.

    Thanks for your input everyone, I guess DOW II wasn't ready for the latest nvidia drivers, I did a roll back and now it works perfectly.
