Never overclocked, and I can't remember seeing any artefacts.
I'm going to try playing other games that are hard on the GPU. I actually happen to have World in Conflict, also Half Life (as well as Ep1&Ep2).
Wait a minute, actually I DO sometimes see artifacts in OFP. I've just gotten so used to it that I forgot. The textures sort of flicker occasionally.
Well, gee, it's really starting to look like something might just be wrong with the graphics card.Â
I suggest you to try some temperature monitoring software like Speedtest to check GPu temperature. Play something and use alt-tab to see check temp. from time to time.
I was already using NVidia's temperature monitor.
But now that you mention it, the only temperature meter it has says "nForc," and it rarely goes over 55*C, which is pretty good in itself if I'm not mistaken. NForc is a motherboard chipset created by Nvidia with integrated GPU, so I would think that this would be the temperature of both GPU and motherboard. But is it possible that my GPU is actually getting much hotter?
Yeah, actually, it could - what's your motherboard? We could maybe find a photo of it online and give some more guesses. The GPU (and/or chipset) chip might need a heat sink glued to it, maybe it already has one that needs to be reattached, maybe you only need to direct that second fan on it (if possible), etc. . . Do the artifacts show up immediately or later, after some play? Do they show up in other games?

It's an "ASUS M2NPV-VM AM2 Nvidia 6150 DDR2-800 Nvidia Geforce 6150 IGP mATX Motherboard." See

I believe they show up immediately. As for other games, I haven't been playing others very much. I'm going to re-install a few to see.
