You would think that after the delays in the release date for this game, that they could at least release a demo that was somewhat playable. I've never seen a game with a longer load screen in my life. You can your screen res, thats a 2 minute wait. Want V-Sync off, thats another 2 minutes. Then when you get into the game you get a screen like this...

And yes after getting this the first time I decided to update my drivers and that made no difference. It is not like I have a crappy machine either since the game recommended the Ultra settings.

Intel C2D 6750
ATI Radeon 4850 Toxic
2gb DDR2 1066Mhz

Anywho this demo gave me the worst first impression I think I have ever had with a game and I am right now regretting pre-ordering this game big time!
This is most definitely not the games fault. This is called artifacting and is usually due to heat. Although sometimes it is when you do a bad driver install. You said that you tried the latest drivers. Try uninstalling all the drivers then use a driver cleaning app like CCleaner. Then install the latest drivers. If you still have a problem then do that process again and revert to an older driver. I noticed I would get that a lot on my old 4870 X2. It can also mean a bad overclock on the CPU or Ram.

Anyways welcome to PC gaming where artifacting is common.
