    Thats pretty much a gpu memory issue, mostly !
    try to cool your gpu memory, try to use lower gpu mem frequency.
    If that does not help, try a different driver.
    If that does not help you have corrupt gpu memory on your graphics card. -> RMA

    It's not the card, under Win764bit rFactor and all gMotor2 games are ok, even with 30 cars on the 'Ring.
    I've used Video Memory Test Stress v1.6, 2 passes, no errors.
    It's under Xp that problem and even with stock frequencies, still present.
    Cooling?, naaaaa, i've a well ventilated casing, a Coolermaster 690 with five 12cm fans on the chassis only + it's winter in here.

    this is a dejavu', i remember the same problems to 'stabilise' the 8800 (G80) series 3 years ago. :/

    At least, now under Seven i've no issues, even with games like Mafia 2 or Dirt2, more stressful for the 460 than rF, GTR2 or GTREvo.

    nVidia has confirmed that it's a display driver bug when using WinXP. I have helped them to reproduce it, so hopefully there is a fix "soon", whenever that may be. :)

    Good, later is better than never, i've no reason to be negative at all, i'm happy to see that the problem is addressed as a Xp driver issue related to gMotor2 games.
    rFactor is widely used yet and nVidia cannot ignore it.

    I'm going to post more info in this thread as soon as I hear back from nVidia support. Latest support contact (5 days ago) said "Still researching". One can only hope that a fix makes it into the now very much delayed WHQL driver release, but I wouldn't bet on it. They even seem to struggle with getting AA to work properly in the latest game titles...

    Nope for me :(
    I'm too have installed WHQL 266.58 and problem is still there.

    Experimental: 10 opponents on track - work fine.
    10-15 opponents - problems begin on race monitor in boxes with some of opponents when you look at them.
    More than 15 opponents - artefacts are visible in your car right after loading the track.

    System: Win XP SP3
    GPU: Nvidia 460 GTX

    I recently got a reply from nvidia and they are aware of this issue in this game and is currently under investigation. As soon as it is fixed, an update will be posted on the nvidia website.

    Im finding this to be mod related. I race the Historix mod with up to 40 cars and it dosnt appear online with them, but on some other mods its showing up with 25 cars.
