Weird looking lines & ish? WTF

4gb gtx 680 is the gpu in this pc currently

figured i'd play a2 op arrowhead for shits & giggles.....start flying around & all of a sudden i get this crazy looking shit all over my screen.....it then crashes & says nvidia display driver has stopped responding & recovered......ummmmmmmmm

I've seen stuff like that before with bad drivers, bad video cards, Far Cry 3 before the patches (sometimes its just the game).
