Hi

recently had to return my gtx480 I got in the sale, as it was artifacting badly in bc2 with detail settings maxxed in directx 10 and 11

I stated that it seemed ok during normal use and seemed to be ok in furmark and msi combustor

It did seem ok in metro 2033, but after an hour or so of playing, I did notice white sparkles on textures

The thing is I borrowed my mates for a morning and his did not show any artifacts at all, I have not even tried overclocking my card and it artifacts straight away in bc2, even before its had chance to warm up

well Its being sent back now, "passes all manufactures test"

I know I am not going to be happy with the card, bc2 is really the only game I play at the moment, and for that it is not fit for purpose

what would you guys do? try to rma to asus? feel a bit lost for what to do atm, If I try selling it I would feel bad about someone else getting it

It was not an easy decision spending the money on a new GC, and I was hoping it would last me as long as my gtx280, I doubt this is going to happen

I reported problem within a couple of days of getting card, and it did not seem easy to get a rma ticket

Its going be a hard decision to buy from ocuk again
