Problem: With the newest driver, weird "spikes" appear in-game.  Also, even without the newest driver, these spikes occur a lot in Eye of the North.
Solution: Options -> Graphics -> Shaders -> Low.  This has no apparent visual impact, aside from removing all the spikes permanently it seems.
Just wanted to share this with everyone ;-)
