Yeah, i had a card that started to do artifacts (I was playing Guild Wars at the time) and it was already too late for me, i had to return it. If yours is still under warranty I'll suggest you return it asap because it's probably going to get worse with the time. And it's caused either by your card having a problem initially or by damaging it with overheating because of you asking to much from it (like for example 5 wow at the same time ). But it sure isn't Pwnboxer related.

Oh another thing, if Pwnboxer has video resolution set to anything but LOW, then it will turn shadow qualities to a level that WoW itself will bug and have artifacts.

So do this: Turn Pwnboxer graphics to LOW on all your games, start the games, then set y our graphics to whatever with shadow turned off, then turn Pwnboxer graphic level off.

The reason is that WoW has a bug with shadow quality, and Pwnboxer wasn't really meant to fix WoWs bugs, so it doesn't work around it. I should change that though.

Yup the 275 card and WoW shadows enabled = artifact hell.

Just disable/low the shadows in WoW and you will be fine.
