I have a suspicion there's something wrong with my video card, although Apple Hardware Test disagrees. I'm getting lots of crazy tearing and artifacting (?) in WoW, and I recently picked up Sims 2 again and am getting lots of pauses whereas I didn't before.

I installed smcFanControl but it seems like the ranges for my late-2006 white iMac (7600 GT) are pretty narrow. I've set the HDD and CPU at mid-range for gaming but maybe I should crank them all the way up?

Any thoughts? This is my last-ditch effort to see if I can fix the problem without having to go to Apple Care. (I will NOT go to the Apple Store as they killed the motherboard on my G5.)
