Nvidia driver / hardware problems 6800 series

Looking for anyone that's getting screen corruption requiring reboot.

I have a new 6800 GT and it loves to crash in torque Open GL mode. It could be my card but it passes all tests and there are bunch of other people on various forums with same artifacts problem.

I'm using a 6600 series on my dev box with out a problem... and I only run TGE in GL mode. :)

I have had a 6800 GT for a year now, and have had zero issues whatsoever with Torque using the 6.14.10.6674 drivers.

I have a BFG 6800 OT Ultra that just recently started to show symptoms as you mentioned while playing Guild Wars, this happened after upgrade to the 81.98 drivers. I am going to revert back to the latest 70 series.

My 6800 GT is groovy with the 78.01 drivers in TGE and I switch between GL & D3D frequently.

Artifacts always make me fearful of heat issues.

No issues w/ my 2 6800 GTs (yeah, I know TGE probably doesn't make use of SLI).

SLI AFIK isn't game specific. Each card automatically renders half of the screen.
