Hey guys,
I have:
Core i7 920 @ 2.8Ghz
XFX 5850 XXX Edition 755/1125 Factory overclocked.
GSkill 2000Mhz Ram @ 1866 9-9-9-24 (Cant get it to run at 2000 for the life of me)
Windows 7 x64.
Anyway being going all good for about a month, then last night, playing WoW I noticed some artifacting occurring, only slight.
Fired up Bad Company 2, and no ****, 50% of the screen is covered in black flashing square block artifacts.
If I idle at desktop after a game, artifacts remain, but take like 40minutes to all disappear.
If I under clock the card to reference speeds, 725/1000 Mhz, the severity of the artifacting in Bad Company 2 declines, maybe only 15% - 20% of the screen.
I have tried both DVI ports, different PCI-Express slots, pulled the card out and re-installed it. Also tried a different power-cable, no luck. Also tried multiple driver sets, but it was working fine on 10.2/3 for the period it was working.
Posted a support ticket at XFX, but they take days.
Sitting at the desktop at the moment, GPU temps are 45 and VDDC temps are 44 degrees.
(Celcius), using GPU-Z.
After 5 minutes in Furmark, GPU, and VDDC temps are both 85. VDDC current fluxuates from 30a to 50+ amps, but seems to stable out at 50+ amps. Also, after running the test, there is slight artifacting on the desktop.
This is running the card under the factory settings.
