Problem 280x, any tips?

Out of curiosity, what GPU did you have before this one ? I first thought it was the PSU as well, but 600W should be enough and I guess your old card was running fine.

If you can live with it being a bit underclocked, it's effectively still a 7970, which is a cracking card.

Maybe you can play around with tweaking the gpu / memory / both, until you reach a point where there are no artifacts.

I had a 6850 OC but got rid of it and had just been using the onboard HD4000 for a while. No issues with the old card. While yeah I could keep it underclocked and use it ok, its a bit disappointing since I was expecting 280X performance. I think i'll just RMA it and hope they replace it.

Thanks a lot for your help fella :)
