I have 2 sapphire 9800 pro card and both flashed to XT at stock speed. One is Hynix mem that I put a Giant III HS on it and the other with Samsung mem I put Silencer 3 + Ocz ram sink on it. Both tested with 2hrs of ATItool for artifact and found none as well as 3dmark2k3 tested and found none also. Now the problem is that when I play Everquest the online game, the card with Giant III ran perfectly without any artifact at all, but with the Silencer 3 one I sometimes get little white dot in a row on the ground of the game, and sometime a rat or a flying creature graphix get all twisted and bent out of shape until I look away then look back. I thought the card was overheating, so I flashed it back to 9800pro and it still have same prob, reseated the HS and reapply as5 on it…still same prob. The card ran UT2k3 and Doom3 without any artifact at all….so my question is WTH is going on? Game or card prob? If it’s game, why wouldn’t it affect my Giant III card? But if its card prob, how can it past every test and other games ran just fine?
Any thought on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
