July last year I got a 9800pro, and it ran for several months no problems. But after a reboot, I went into a game and got these 'triangle' artifacts all over the place. Went back to stock speed and still the same. Luckily my 2d was ok, so i could run the computer. Tried another graphics board in the machine, and no problems. So sent it back under an RMA. Waited for about 7weeks, but got a replacement.

So before RMA, make sure its the card, by a process of elimination.

Think you'll probably have to deal through the place where you got it. Check with them. Check ATi's warranty from there site. Sorry can't offer any more advice.
