All video card type of problems, all similar to the OP and my problem.
Logically I have no issues with what your saying. But I gotta speak through my own eyes here, and I know this game is what put my video card over the edge. I know it b/c I tested throughly other games when this issue first started. They all worked fine.
Then my addiction and need to tinker and problem solve cost me. I was like "I will turn off physics for the video card, I will under clock and try again, I will try setting, I will try a different port, I will try a different PCI slot ect ect until it just died. While trying to play wow.
So too be perfectly clear, everything was fine until wow and wow ONLY started doing this issue. Then my own persistence and addiction ( lol ) pushed my card over the edge trying to fix this issue myself.
