Graphical Flaws

So i'm going about my everyday buisness playing some wow after class and I notice that things on the screen are going crazy. The textures that arent all over the place have holes in them that change with every step I take. Here are a few pictures (though you cant see the "holes" i referred to)

And another...

I just built this computer last spring. I am currently running; AMD 3700+, 2GB RAM, X850 XT.

Is it already time to get a new card? Or is there something I can do? I mean, I did just get tax returns so it wouldn't be ALL THAT bad if I just happened to have to buy a new card.

    First guess is heat and/or a failed fan on the card.

    Everything else works fine, it's just in the game. Hmm...

    Is it just the one game, or does it happen in others as well?

    This happens to me as well, despite my GPU and the rest of my computer being ice cool.

    I blame shitty nVidia Vista drivers, though.

    This happens to me with my Radeon 9600. Frankly WoW's engine isn't much of a champ; I think it's just your everday bug. It usually goes away when I restart the game.
