[BUG?] Strange stretched out textures blocking view

<div class="IPBDescription">A bug or my video card?</div>I've been having a problem on some maps where there are strange ghost walls blocking my view. The worst is tram, and I've attached some screenshots to show you guys. I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem. I'm almost 100% positive that it is not my video card dying as I play planetside 2 (which is much more taxing I think) with no problems. The "ghost walls" are also not flickering. They are stable as I stand and look in the same spot. Video cards dying usually just have random flickers.

So, the screen shots (please ignore the right images, that was my second monitor):

I'd like to point out that I'm standing in the exact same spot for Spot 1 and Spot 2. All I did was look to the right a bit for Spot 2. Tram is by far the worst, and I don't even have issues with other maps. I'm really just trying to figure out if it's just me or other people are having this problem too. In Spot 3 you can see just how impossible it makes the game to play sometimes when this is happening all over the map.

My video card is Geforce 560ti

My video settings are:
1680x1050 res
Fullscreen windowed
Vsync disabled
Texture quality: High
Infestation: Rich
AA: off
Bloom: off
Atmospherics: on
Anisotropic filtering: on
Ambient Occlusion: off
Shadows: off
Texture streaming: off
Multicore rendering: off

    that's model artifacting. Most likely a problem with game files, try verifying the game cache for NS2. Also I'm assuming you have the latest drivers installed.

    Thank you for the quick reply. I'll validate the files and check my drivers.

    I've had this exact same problem. Only saw it once though, and it never happened until I enabled SLI and updated to the new beta drivers.

    btw, i'm also using gtx 560 ti's. I have since disabled the second card and used cpu as physx processor.

    I haven't tested tram yet but I check the files and updated my drivers. There hasn't been an issue yet.

    I've had this happen as a result of my video card overheating. I don't want to scare you or anything, but that's how I've come across it. It used to get REALLY bad when I played WoW on my old Radeon X1300 AGP card, and I'd see it in a variety of other games.

    I'll keep that in mind as mine is overclocked a bit. What I don't understand is why this game out of all the ones I play would give me issues.
