XFX 6800GS artifacts on 3d mark 03, this is not overclocked in anyway, on the Trolls lair and Nature I get artifacts. Not a heat issue as the tempreture never really gets hotter than 60 degrees, Trolls Lair artifacts by way of spikes and Nature just goes black and spikes go everywhere. I have even tried UNDERCLOCKING the card to see if that helps and it dosen't.
Now I have just played SIN EMERGENCIES for 20 minutes with no problems, and on 3D Mark 2003 as soon as it artifacts mega badly, I exit and restart the Wings of fury and Proxicon demo and there are no artifacts; WTF!
Drivers are 84.21 and motherboard is running card at PCIEx4 as per the limitations of the VIA 800 PRO chipset which was built for an AGP/PCIE on a socket 478. Previously I have had an X800 GTO Powercolor model and ran in without any problems. My PSU is a good one and has 2 12v rails and is a Hiper 580W. I plugged the rail directly into the PSU and the GPU.
I am hoping there is nothing wrong with the card. Does anyone know of a conflict between 3D Mark 03 and 84.21 drivers?, I have the latest patch for 3D Mark.
