7600GS AGP - Duff RAM

[GazzaMataz]

As you might have guessed I have a 7600GS AGP card and I keep getting weird dots on my screen when I play Pacific Fighters WWII Combat Flight Simulator.

Have a look at these images:

My system is an AMD 64 3000+ (2Ghz socket 754)), 1gb RAM, Foxconn K8S755A-6EKRS board, 80gb HD, 400w PSU.

A friend of mine said it my be the RAM on the card, but I haven't got a clue which is why I am asking here.

Anyone got any ideas?

i get those on my 6800nu when i clock the ram too high.

That's odd, since I am not running the card overclocked at all...

RMA sounds to me

 

[Cyber-Mav]

[GazzaMataz]

Wots RMA when it's at home?

Return Merchandise Authorisation = sending it back

To labour the point, I have tried other games with the card and it doesn't go spotty on me... Could this just be a driver thing?

I have also found discrepencies in the speed of the card using 3DMark 05, one minute I am getting 2150 as my score then 4100...

Could this be a more low-level fault with the logicboard's AGP driver?

I don't think thats a card problem- Notice the problem dots are only on the sky, and nowhere else (Not on the plane/ cockpit). The second picture, I can't see anything at all, other than a blocky cloud texture & something which I assume is dirt on the plane windscreen.

I'd update both the GFX & mobo drivers and see what happens.
