sorry, just wasn't specific, mostly I can get a good connection and fly for a minute, then the artifacts take over, ctd, back to desktop. Honestly, a while back I could fly with everything on high... but I went awhile without fly COD, and had some problems, reformatted, put new video card in, new power supply... and COD just refuses to go after a minute with the artifacts al over, and then ctd. I have al new software, new drivers... DCS and IL-2 1946 al work fine. I fly a lot of DCS so I know that there is nothing major wrong. Every driver I have is the latest for everything in the computer. Same with my Saitek stick.

Check and make sure you don't have windows update KB2670838 installed.

Also, and I'm sure you don't, you don't have the anti epilepsy filter on do you?
I used to run Cliffs on a GTX285, on quite low settings, so it 'should' run on a 460, but it is in no way a great card for Cliffs.

ok, final verdict, the video card was not seated properly with the top screw in, for the card in the motherboard slot. Not sure why, but I can only use the bottom screw, which is fine, because it is the most important one for my video card. I ran, 3 flight sims, all ran without issues, then ran 2 3DBenchMark Tests, all ran great. Finally !! , been a long time with problems...

all seems resolved...
yes, I can run on high settings.. it was the damned card that no longer seats properly with both screws btw, the video card is brand new, I just sent them back one I bought a couple years ago that had a problem, they sent me a new one still in wraps..
