Strange Texture Pattern

[videohound]

Has anyone else seen this strange texture problem?. It doesn't seem to matter what AF settings, or LOD settings I try, I still get this strange texture transition at the same point on the screen, with the forground being detailed and then suddenly switches to blurry. It's the same in all views too, whether it's hood view or chase view etc.

It doesn't happen everywhere just on the sunny parts of the track, like the long straight at Anderstorp were this shot was taken.

I've got Texture Quality set to High, LOD to 100% in the game, and I'm using 8xAF, Texture Clamp set to Hardware, and Quality Image Settings in the Nvidia driver, all of which give a good quality image in GTR2.

So I was just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem or is it just me?

That looks like texture quality to me. But the high quality ends abruptly rather than fading off into the distance. If it really bothers you, try dropping texture quality.

I tried lowering the settings in the Nvidia Control Panel, and it solved the problem, but at a high cost in terms of graphics quality, so I've gone back to my old settings and learned to live with it.
