6950 RMA...

Masterdeadly · 6 Sep 2011 at 15:58

Sent my HIS 1GB 6950 back to Overclockers because It has been artifacting. They've tested all of it and said there's nothing wrong with it, I've had lots of problems with artifcating on these games: WOW,CS. Now they've returned it to me saying there's nothing wrong with it. What can I do to stop the artifacting.

Pins look fine and if it wasn't in probably it wouldn't have worked in the first place.

Masterdeadly · 6 Sep 2011 at 16:13

No they emailed today saying they will send it back to me with a charge of £10.00 for testing it. Please I need some help what could the problem be?

Well is there anything else apart from PSU,CPU or the GPU to cause Artifacting.

Masterdeadly · 6 Sep 2011 at 17:04

How do I check if it's overheating though? What program to use to see CPU and GPU temps?

Masterdeadly · 6 Sep 2011 at 17:16

I will eliminate the other possibilities when I get my card back

Masterdeadly · 6 Sep 2011 at 17:28

But i'm now doubting to go two 6950's

was hoping this would clear my mind.

Masterdeadly · 6 Sep 2011 at 17:42

They've charged me £10.

I know I don't mind just want some ways of finding the actual problem with my pc.

My system specs are as follows:

Amd 955 Black edition from 3.2 overclocked to 3.61ghz

8gb XMS3 1600MHZ corsair ram

Seagate Barricuda 500g 7200 RPM

HIS 1GB 6950

Corsair TX650W

Coolermaster Elite 334 - http://www.coolermaster.co.uk/product.php?category_id=3586&product_id=4253

A massive CPU cooler : Akasa Apache is attached to the CPU cooler.

Coolermaster Fan on the backplate obviously came with the case.

It's a x8 tho

Masterdeadly · 6 Sep 2011 at 18:08

But I never had these problems at the beginning it's only happen over the last month. Could it be a faulty ram stick? they've been in there for 2 years with all the other components.

Masterdeadly · 6 Sep 2011 at 18:10

But I will get like 95 percent per card in crossfire still will be double performance with 2 6950's

Masterdeadly · 6 Sep 2011 at 18:21

Well Hopefully I get the card back on wednesday, Anyone know how they charge you for testing etc?

Masterdeadly · 6 Sep 2011 at 18:24

And you say add additional fans Where will they go and how would I power them?

Masterdeadly · 6 Sep 2011 at 18:29

Shall I install Crysis warhead, and GPU-z run it for 30mins singleplayer and how do I check the temps if i'm gaming.

Masterdeadly · 6 Sep 2011 at 18:33

Will this show CPU and GPU temps and could it be my Ram ? I have 4 sticks one of those could be faulty.

Only thumbnails on CS?
