If anyone has this video card and is experiencing problems including green or purple polygons after a certain amount of play this thread addresses that problem.
I searched for along time to try and find a solution to the issue but to no avail.
The reason for the green/purple polygons is that the card is running to hot. I recently bought Gothic 3 and have been able to run it fairly decent until about 10 minutes in the screen begins to fill up with the green/purple polygons. I experience a little of this during Counter Strike Source but not as bad as this.
My card was running at 131 F during Gothic 3, and I found out that the cooling unit on the card is absolutely useless. For now I have a small DC fan on it with the case open until I get paid and buy some proper equipment. The fan is keeping the card at a cool 60 F during gameplay and solved my problem, which was better than the 80 F when running at idle.
FYI: I bought G3 for $10 at target.
