Hi guys, i have had this issue with the card from the start, it has been bearable though as it doesnt affect all my games but it does affect most. The problem is, i recently installed crysis again, this time round it was working fine without the artifacting at all, just great visuals and ran fantastic. Then, i tried isntalling another stick of ram, so i powered down, pushed in the new stick, powered up and went back into the game and bang, artifacts everywhere, so i removed the stick, then tried, still artifacts, i then spent 3 hours cleaning drivers with driver sweeper and reinstalling all different types of catalyst. Im now back to 9.11 and im at my wits end, i cant work past this issue. The absolute MAD thing is, its dependant on temperature too, as the card gets warmer, the artifacts get less, untill the card hits 58 degrees then they more or less go completely but sometimes the game crashes, im sure these artifacts cant be doing my card much good. The fact that it doesnt happen to ALL games and the fact that it wasnt happening earlier today on crysis, surely that means its a software problem and not a defective hardware issue. Has any1 else had similar issues? i have read plenty on the net and these xfx cards seem plauged with similar issues but im yet to see / hear of an issue exactly like mine. The pics dont show the full extent, i have a video of it, im going to render the video down to a more managable size and then post that too.
Any help GREATLY appreciated, really want this card to work well as its amazing when its functioning properly.
