Ok, there has to be SOMETHING I'm missing, this is driving me nuts..
I'm overclocking my X850, all the timings are set properly. The TRD was even set high (6). And I can't get it artifact free when "scanning" above 550 ram. Even with the 12 pipeline bios. (it infact can not run the 16 pipeline bios as the ram freaks out, even when underclocked I have to bring it to 480 in order to get it stable).
But here's the clincher!
I can run 670 ram while running the spinning cube with NO artifacts, none.. I can actually go up to 680 before I get the normal ram model spikes. When I switch to "scan for artifacts" the model appears to be "spattered" with yellow paint, repeatedly.. That's The ONLY artifact i ever get, same as the core artifact...in fact. Which is weird; usually ram and core artifacts are different (in my experience.)
So can ANYONE help me out, I CAN'T figure out this problem and it's driving me insane. The ram on the card remains relatively "warm" to the touch when running 660 on the spinning cube for 30 minutes.. Yet artifacts at 555 when "scanning" As well as in games (rarely).
Does anyone know anything that could cause this strange kind of artifacting?
