    I'm running a dell xps 17 with a 555m geforce overclocked. Every time I run borderlands off of steam it like glitches and the mountains and stuff glitch out and stuff. I can still play the game but it gets really annoying. Please help :)

    what type of glitching? Try it without the overclock and see if it still happens. Did you overvolt as well? Software overclock or vBIOS?

    Sounds like the card is either overheating or your drivers are screwed up...

    You got any Optimus on that notebook?
    My Borderlands GOTY on Steam works flawless.

    Software overclocked. It was over heating but I fixed it. And Thanks all of you.
