I just purchased a 8800 gts 320 mb KO version from EVGA. I installed it and updated it with the drivers from EVGA's site. Now here's my problem, in some games it will run fine, others will have glitches or low fps.
For instance...
In oblivion- with graphics set all the way up, whenever i'm outdoors the grass will just turn into big washed out areas of green almost like big plates of green hovering over the land. (when i turned the grass distance down it fixed the problem.
-Also in oblivion with bloom on, people's faces, and areas in the game look unnaturally bright (i don't think its normal for the game).
-Again in oblivion, peoples faces will have texture glitches where areas seem smudged across the face etc.
Battlefield 2142- I can run the game around 70fps when nobody is around, but as soon as i get into any action it dips down to the mid thirties for fps. (i have DSL internet, thought i've never heard of internet affecting fps) There are no noticeable glitches in the game.
Battlefield 2- No glitches, but i only get like 40-70 fps!! i've seen benchmarks of ppl getting way over 100.
Farcry- Game runs roughly around 130 fps, but the lighting is VERY VERY off. When outside looking at walls, they are almost pure white, washed out. When in caves the walls are very very bright, all lighting is off, and colors of the cave walls seem off. (i tried to fix it in the games settings but this did not fix the problem)
Counter Strike Source- I can only run this game at 40-50 fps!!! I didn't notice any glitches. But i don't think that is right at all.
Supreme Commander- I get around 60 fps zoomed in, but as soon as i build things and have a large base the game goes down to 30-50 fps (this may be normal.. idk). no noticable glitches in this game.
COD2- Only get around 20-30 fps!!! I've seen benchmarks with people getting well over this.
Ok so there are a variety of games and the problems i've encountered. I think the cause of this may be the cheap power supply that came with my case.

But i'm not sure if a PSU would cause those kinds of problems. So my question is... Would a power supply cause those kinds of problems in games?, or am i looking in the wrong direction. If you don't believe it is the PSU then what else could it be.

And one side question that i've been wondering about
Can my internet connection speed affect FPS in online gaming?, i currently download things @ around 140 kb/s (i have dsl)
