Check your temperatures to make sure your gfx card isn't overheating. Also try updating your drivers.
I got glitches like that when my last card was about to die. It got worse and worse over a couple of weeks until it eventually just died.
At first it was almost comical (although annoying). I mean how is a huge kobold face rock not hilarious? 
Or how about some text in the sky?
Or orange water?
Wierd trees
And eventually...

I'm afraid to say I know too many people that have a blown up nVidia card... mine fried couple of months ago (8800GTX).. and the one in my old laptop did the same. There was a known issue with their chip packaging for a certain range of chips.. but I'm getting the impression the issue is way more prevalent than they like to admit!
Anyway switched to ATI after that fiasco.. but ofcourse now I'm getting the SmartHeap crap after a long play session (known issue with ATI on win7 64bit + daoc)

I had a few of those glitches plus a few other odd ball ones when I used to play on ATI.
Later I switched to Nvidia and I've never had a problem since.
Does anyone remember when Shrouded Isles came out? The lovely Nvidia logo that used to show up on the screen, however on release SI didn't work on 60% of the nvidia cards out there? LOL
The worst glitch I ever had was some weird text smearing. If I stood still, the text in my chat boxes was fine but as soon as I moved it started smearing. Made the game unplayable for a short time till the new drivers came out.

Most of the video glitches are a result from people sticking a higher end video card in a machine..that doesnt have a psu to support it or all the other add ons you installed, or you need a diffrent driver..or your fan stopped working and you have heat issues.

When was the last time you used an endo pot? Your alchemist probably slipped some pills into it.

Yeah, you have to watch Nvidia drivers...
There was a bad batch of drivers a while back that caused the GPU card fans to throttle down causing them to overheat.
Or it could be a memory bottle neck, check to see how much memory is being used.
