I have a laptop equipped with a Mobility Radeon 9600. Whenever I run an game, after 10 minutes the screen display starts to become fuzzy, similar to radio interference. Has anyone else experienced this, with a Radeon or other GFX card?

Those little white dots. When overclocking a graphics card, if you go to far you can get white dots called artifacts.

Possibly, though it's expected to reach temps of 50 degrees. What do you mean by artifacts?

Almost sounds like you've got artifacts - no chance of your system overheating is there? :/

Well, it doesn't happen on Jedi Knight 2, and also Deus Ex 2. In cut scens, characters do have a lot of moving white pixels on their characters - anyone else have this problem?

I have had a similar problem on my laptop with a 32MB Mobility Radeon. However I have only experienced this on one game - GTA: Vice City, all my other games run fine.

Heh, whenever my mobile phone is near my monitor and I receive a message or call, the screen goes all weird with lines.
