[mintsauce5]

i bought a bfg 8800gts 640mb on friday , loaded it up but when i play cod2 i get graphic glitches on the screen , these appear as small flecks appearing an dissapearing all the time , has anyone got any ideas wether its fault or some setting i havent got right , any suggestions would be appreciated.

hi , it does the same thing on the latest drivers
i'm running windows xp
psu is a tagan 480w
tried cod uo and its really stuttery , but i've read it does have issues with coduo somewhere.

only just had time to check my card out again , still getting these random flecks appearing on the screen during cod2 , also when i ran 3dmark 05 i got lines down the screen and a few white flecks on the flying boat section , do you think its a borked card ? , also temps are good , driver cleaner pro done and fresh driver install , still the same

just tried 3dmark 06 now and its worse polygon artefacts than 05 , suppose its rma time , another trip up to overclockers tomorrow methinks.

i really dont think its anything to do with my psu , i tried it in a friends set up which had a tagan 700w psu and it still does the same , as a lot of threads say on here as long as you've a decent branded psu about 400+W it'll work just fine , its back at overclockers today anyway , took it there myself , just gota wait and see what they say now.
