I will be playing a while and all of a sudden I will get cracks all over the screen. Using tnt2 and latest nvidia drivers also has plenty of cooling.
thanks

I used to get that problem with an old Creative Voodoo Banshee - It turned out that my monitor was getting a bit long in the tooth.

Apart from that i can't really provide a solution, sorry.

Maybe try a different monitor (if u can).

It sounds to me like your memory in your video card is getting too hot.

1 screw that holds the video card in was loose and that caused it.
