Im getting a 560 Ti next week but my current card 5770 artifacts in some games.

STALKER you get white dots everywhere its kind of like the dot arrangement on the 5 side of a dice and its in a checker arrangement so dots, empty square, dots again etc...

SC2 when in the bar before selecting mission and you hover over something clickable the thing highlights and the same dot checker thing appears, the same with L4D2 anything that highlights gets this weird checker dot thing.

Ive tried RMA twice with OCUK but they say it pasts all tests without any artifacts. I told them the second time that it only happens on certain games but nope they use the same tests (FUUU). That was a waste of 20 quid.

I am guessing one of the Memory chips is dodgy which is why it only affects some games etc... So I was wondering would the oven trick fix this problem? I was going to give this card to my friend and it would be nice that he doesnt get any of the issues that I do. I have tested the card in 3 different machines so its not my PC :P

Is the card overclocked and what are the temps like?
