Yikes, looks like your graphics card might be on its way out. Or a Mantle issue maybe?
Can’t be my graphics card issue, because every other game I run, runs fine and some of them are even more intense. I also restarted and the game ran fine. I think it’s something with the game. I’m running an NVidia 670 GTX Ftw..
Are your other games running on DirectX?
…
Do… you know what DirectX is?
Listen here dickhead, I am trying to HELP you. I obviously overlooked the fact that you’re using a Nvidia card.
You can take your graphics problem and shove it up your ass.
Edit - I hate to leave without solving the problem. It could be any number of things from the wrong graphics processor set, to overheating, to DIRECTX, fuck it could even be a bunk driver. Poke around and be nice to people when they give you a suggestion.
Just saying.. 99.99% of games on the market for Windows have DirectX.. Asking if I have any other games I play have Direct X is kind of like asking does the ocean have water. 
Something similar happened to me yesterday on Gulmud Railway. There were huge towers of messed up terrain. Had to quit and rejoin the server, this fixed my issue.
