Left 4 Dead graphics problem on Nvidia 8900GTX+ [HD]

This is some texture or model issue L4D gives me. I've tried everything short of re-downloading the whole thing... every res, combination of options in the advanced panel, drivers from 178.xx up to 186.xx, updating DirectX, passing different command line combos for various settings, and verifying and defragging the install. This is a new card that gives no weird errors when playing UT3, CODWaW, the Rainbow 6 games, Q3a... you name it this thing eats it alive. Full res, full detail. Heat is not an issue, nor power.
Searching around it is easy to find a lot of results of "bad textures" from people but none have every mentioned anything like this, so I had to youtube it. Hopefully it will help others (and Nvidia/Valve) to fix their problems.




And yes, I rebooted.

PS-This system is an intel Q9650 quad core 3ghz with 6gb ddr3 1066, so I didn't feel that overclocking was necessary for any game in existence.
