You can clearly see what the issue is, it being so pixely and such. I am not sure what to do my drivers (NVIDIA Regular) are 100% up to date and have tried Omega Drivers too. I also removed all the RAM out of my PC and removed the video card and Re-tried. I have done everything I can think of anything else. Thanks for any input guys.

Okay, I really hate to say this, but that card is probably toast. Artifacting that bad is not drivers...it's most likely a sign of damaged gpu/memory issues. Or possibly badly mounted heatsink...but I feel the former.
Incidentally, was this a sudden issue, or cruddy straight from the box? And how new is the card, i.e. can you return it?
 
I mean I have always had issues with it like low FPS, but nothing like this and i was from the box and too late to send it back.
 
Looks like your card is pretty much dead. Try underclocking it severely and see what happens, maybe.

Sorry, that sucks :/

It's never too late to try :p
 
I've seen that happen on mine when I overclock it to high (at random the desktop will just freak out), drop the clockspeed and see what happens.
 
i dropped the clock speed as low as it could go and still same crap. but thanks
 
How's your cooling? I had this issue w/ my old G4MX card and once I stuck a new HSF on it there were no more artifacts. Worth a try before you trash it.
 
pretty much your video card.....it happened 2 me last yr with my 9700pro.....sorry man.....I know how ya feel :mad:
