Intel

Drivers are at: http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/index.htm?iid=ipp_dlc_chip_graphics

Intel cards and onboard graphics chips often suffer from a problem which causes a planar sheet of triangular artifacts to appear on part of the screen when viewing from an angle (i.e. not looking directly down). Note that that's the only time the chip's 3D texture mapping functionality is used.

The problem gets worse the lower the viewing angle (the more you're looking toward the "horizon" instead of straight down), and it gets worse the closer you are to the 3D surface.

Either backing away (higher altitude from the earth surface) or looking more directly straight down will always fix the problem. Rotating the view (right-button drag horizontal) causes the corruption to change and sometimes go away.

Even at its worst, there's always come combination of JUST the right altitude, tilt, and rotation near the one you want to get a good image. That's real good news for taking screen snapshots. But even if you find the "good spot", moving the mouse just a little will cause corruption again.

Turning off all layers but the one your viewing minimizes it.

The cards on this list that say 'ok' may also have this problem.

Screwing with "AGP aperature" in the BIOS doesn't help.

Side note: increasing AGP aperature improves performance for ALL AGP cards! It causes system memory to be used as texture memory, but only when the card runs out of onboard memory, so you can leave it at 256K all the time.
