Hey Mike,Don't have a def. answer but this is my CFG.TERRAIN_ERROR_FACTOR=96.000000TERRAIN_MIN_DEM_AREA=10.000000TERRAIN_MAX_DEM_AREA=100.000000TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=21TERRAIN_TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=8TERRAIN_AUTOGEN_DENSITY=4TERRAIN_USE_GRADIENT_MAP=1TERRAIN_EXTENDED_TEXTURES=1TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=9TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=9.5TERRAIN_EXTENDED_LEVELS=5Using the XTreme-G 91.45 drivers combined with NVTray, seems to be better than RivaTuner (for me) and seems not to give me the issue you have.Maybe worth a try for you.

I tried your settings and they seemed to do the trick...much appreciated
