Is this a faulty card

[kmufc77]

Hi

Ive had my gtx 470 about 4-5 weeks all been fine.until last night this morning im getting little tiny pink pixels flashing on the screen?

This then followed to massive corruption on screen orange and pink lines everywhere?

Is this a Memory fault of the card,im trying to replicate the fault but since ive rebooting machine i dont get any corruption

Ive just had a RMA accepted from the retailer

Edit:

When i plugged in a separate monitor i had the same corruption?

since though i cant replicate this fault?

did you overclock the card?

did you overclock the card?

No Never and temps are nowhere near the 105c threshold.
The corruption and flashing pixels appeared on the desktop and i never seen it while gaming.

Im know led to believe that the symptoms my card has is GPU related and not Vram

The card has now been sent back


Thanks for the reply Bees,cant believe nobody else has posted with all the views this thread has had

What you describe sounds like a GPU fault to me too. It could have also been a power related problem.

The thing to have done would have been to put the system under heavy load.
