Put the summary of the bug you're having here

My understanding of VBO setting is that it modifies the rendering process to reduce the load on your GPU. I thought it may reduce render quality for blocks further away, but not any considerable amount.

What actually happened was...:
When I enable it, certain areas have floating "clouds" of random texture that when closer inspected, are composed of images from the item texture files.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable fancy graphics, maximum smooth lighting, Alternate blocks, and Use VBO's.
2. look for areas with strange, missing, or warped textures
