HIS 6950 broke?

Masterdeadly · 12 Nov 2011 at 10:51

Guys this is a revised post really I've being having problems with this card for about 4 months now, artefacts like once a month. I was going to just leave it and deal with it until the 7xxx series come out but It's currently doing my head in. Could any shed some light onto this broken 6950? These are some videos on the card failing:

Anybody can suggest some things I can do to prove to overclockers this is card is faulty. On League of Legends the other day the game completely froze and the screen went blue

Please help.

Please Help!

I must be blind, not sure I see anything.

Try downclocking it a bit to squeeze the life out of it, aside from that, rma it

Using latest drivers? My GTX580 flashes like that in BF3.

ThePengu1n Please look at the first video "Wow Artifacting" you must be blind if you can't see that XD, I've already RMA'd the card before and Overclockers sent it back to me and said it's not faulty so I don't really want to spend another £20 to get it rejected again.

Your BF3 videos are from the beta like your older post yes?

100% that is nothing to do with your card, it done it with me too, it was game related probably due to it being the beta.

Wow, it is artifacting, but whether that's down to drivers or the actual card, I don't know.

Is there any other games apart from CS that's doing it?

Here it is doing it in League of Legends.

Ran Memtest also to see if there was any memory problems - No signs of error - http://www.mediafire.com/i/?lxfq8auwb92sapd

Yeh, that was awful, but I dont know enough to tell you what the problem is. Borked card, drivers, overheating, vram gubbed, maybe an expert can help.

Masterdeadly · 12 Nov 2011 at 20:38

Drivers are recent, 72 Degrees max, and it's done it on pretty much every game i've put through this computer

That looks dodgy to me. I'd show ocuk that video.

Masterdeadly · 12 Nov 2011 at 21:02

And they'll say you can send it to us to test it for "1 hour" which they'll find nothing wrong with it like last time

Not paying another £20 for nothing.

Its going to be tricky if it only does it once a month as you say. I dont see any option but to keep using it till it does that more often.

But the card's faulty surely Overclockers can see that. They should just replace it or refund me it's not good enough.

I agree its unfortunate. I'm not sure what else you can do though apart from show them the video.

Masterdeadly · 12 Nov 2011 at 21:38

Poor customer service from Overclockers It's clearly faulty.
