I think that your graphics card does not support the shaders in this game.. I think.. How much FPS do you get?

. . .

The 6800 can support everything the Source engine can throw at it

Yes, it looks like the video card is damaged in one way. This happened to my (first) 8800 GTS. Artifacts and triangles flying everywhere, entire scenes of meshes and textures disappearing, etc. Probably corrupted memory on the card.

Time for a replacement

I've had that problem before with COD2 (yes, I have an old NVidia GeForce FX 5200). All I did was upgrade my vid drivers, and she was all good.

However, if you previously didn't have any problems, and there's been no updates to the game that you've installed recently, then I would hazard a guess it's starting to give up the ghost...

open your case and remove the dust from your heatsinks

I don't want to worry you but i have seen a PC set on fire because it was never cleaned.
