Another problem...

[DeadlySurfer]

Alright.

I'll play some games, see if it's happening still. If it is I'll contact OC and tell them the problem.

 

[Mr Paul]

Yeah card sounds knackared, RMA it mate.

 

[DeadlySurfer]

Alright.

Haven't had any problems in game with it though, but then the Artifact test said over 2000, so defo Rma?

 

[Mr Paul]

Did you use

http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1383/GPUTool_Community_Technology_Preview_1.html

Set to full screen and scan for artifacts?

Also try lowering the memory clock speed and see if that helps. if not try lowering the core

Basically see what's causing the problem.

 

[DeadlySurfer]

How do you scan for artifacts?

 

[unknownsock]

I'd also say its time to RMA.

 

[Mr Paul]

How do you scan for artifacts?

Click the scan or test button

 

[arc@css]

ATi tool, worth a try.

 

[Mr Paul]

Tick the renderer uses full screen and then click the "test for stability" button

 

[DeadlySurfer]

Tested, nd I get the same results, maybe a bit lower though.

 

[Mr Paul]

RMA

 

[DeadlySurfer]

What would be considered normal rates on the test by the way?

 

[Mr Paul]

Do you have any errors?

 

[DeadlySurfer]

I think I got one. And like, 1000-2000 mismatched.

 

[Mr Paul]

While testing for stability in GPU tool if it says anything about errors in the bottom left of the screen then the card is buggered or overclocked too much

 

[DeadlySurfer]

Yeah, it says Error Detected.

Rma it is.

 

[Mr Paul]

We have a winner....well maybe not for you, but send it back

 

[DeadlySurfer]

Thanks for the help guys.

I know most of you will be sitting there screaming "Send it back!".

Thanks again

 

[Mr Paul]
