Last week I bought a Geforce FX 5500 OC 256MB card made by BFG Tech.Everything has been working fine except for when I run it at 8x agp any game I play the gui or hud becomes all tweaked out and unreadable but the rest of the game looks fine other that a few other little weird problems.The problem seems to be worse in direct x games.If I run it at 4x there are no problems at all.I have the newest drivers for everything.My system is: SY-KT600 Dragon Plus v1.0, AMD Athlon XP 1.1 Ghz, 512 pc2700 ddr ram, IBM ethernet card, soundblaster pci 512, and I am running windows 2000.I've tried reinstalling windows, and it seems service pack 4 does nothing.I heard it might be a bad GPU.Thanks for the help!
 
I've seen similar symptoms trying to force the hardware to use AA filtering when the game doesn't officially support it. Doesn't seem like this is what you're seeing with 8X vs. 4X, though try it out, try disabling the post filters and see the results.
