While my system is up to date, installed the drivers Nvidia reccomended, everything is dandy and new my recently purchased Bioshock games graphics are unreliable. I can play along for a while but soon small graphical errors starts to show and they just gets worse, the errors include black boxes, disorted hands and a flickering screen. Allthough, sometimes if I quit to main menu and reload the problems are gone, sometimes they are severe enough to affect the menues too (flickering). I played around with the settings but to no avail.
I thought there were something wrong with my graphics card, so I fired up Splinter Cell: Double Agent, X3 and Stalker but they worked just fine. Anyone else have theese problems? I googeld it and saw that indeed, some people did have the same problem as me, but I couldnt find any solution. I played around with the settings but to no avail.

Try these drivers. Be sure to uninstall your current graphic drivers before you install other ones.
