You are still using your video card to show you what you see on your screen. However, you are no longer using the little extra computer that came on the video card to perform other work at the direction of LR. In order to improve performance, LR allows you to tell it to offload some computing tasks to the processor on the video card. But, there is a wide variety of such cards on the market and in many cases the processor on the card (called a GPU) is not up to snuff in doing things it is asked to do in the manner that LR expects and you get these weird results.

If your GPU is compatible with LR you get better performance by using it but, as in your case, it is not compatible then, well, it doesn't work and you must turn off that feature. This is one area where there are either no universal standards, or there are too many different standards, or the card companies are not all that consistent in adhering to the standards resulting in many GPU's not being able to be used by LR. Unfortunately, yours is one of them.
 
You could try updating your graphics card to use the latest driver, often the problem in Lightroom isn't the card, it's the driver.
