Thought it was something along those lines seeing as nvidia had similar issues and theyre both dx10 boards. :(

Aye it's definitely something in the new DirectX 10 technology that causes it.

Wouldn't surprised me if it was fixed by Catalyst 7.5 to be honest.
 
Yeah, that looks exactly like the NV issue, white fog with black shadows.

NV claimed that Valve had deviated from the DirectX API, which now looks to be true since it's happening with the R600 too. The good news is it can be worked-around through drivers at no cost to performance, so it's just a temporary glitch. I'm sure new drivers will sort it.
 
Cheers, they look very, very similar, I'm guessing my AquaGratix blocks would fit but difficult to tell from a photo.

Think Shamino got something similar on the stock cooler before he modded anything.

What would be fake about that card?

No sorry I didn't mean the overclock, plenty of overhead to use, 20% was the only pertinent part I could read. I was more wondering maybe the whole card was fake or more likely a mock up. Its not the first bit of dubious information from that site. The PWM looks weird, chips missing, the fans need a barrier to not interfere with each others airflow, but the fan tips look really close.

Depends what CPU's etc have been used, Just thought id show it as your beloved Rainbow 6 Vegas on an R600XT actually out performs the GTS in performancem. After you slated the R600 to hell and back. :rolleyes:
