Well, after 2 weeks I finally recieved my RMA back from Allstar Shop. After reading all the problems related to heat, I decided to buy the Zalman VF900. I installed the new heatsink before I even booted up, and everything went smoothly. The card idles at 40C and maxes out under full load at...

well I hooked the card back up and noticed red vertical lines on the BIOS screen.. reseated the card and the lines went away, but noticed red horizontal lines flickering.. not a good sign :(

The artifact scanner shouldnt show artifacts though right? Mine is showing hundreds right away, and then more and more until the video card crashes basically. Though its odd how the card boots up fine and can run Windows ok, should I hold off on the RMA? :/ Not sure what else to do\ Actually...

I'm just running the Artifact Scanner, says OC is not supported, unless the scanner OCs the card.

I'm using 2 seperate lines directly from the PSU, it still crashed in ATI Tool, also to note the BIOS screen was different colors than my old video card.. its red and white on this x800 and on the x1950 its a weird ass green/purple. Now I also wanted to mention that my x800 seems to artifact a...

Ok I recieved the Enermax Liberty 500W power suppply today, hooked it up, and everything booted up successfully. I first used a single connector line but noticed artifacts on the BIOS screen, so then I switch to two seperate lines, and the artifacts seemed to of went away. Windows looked fine...

I bought the Antec SmartPower 500 2.0 and was using the Antec SmartPower 400 before. Honestly, I dont know much about power supplies so no worries about insulting me there. Now one thing I noticed that artifacting was taking place right away in ATI Tool, Is this a sign of the graphics card...

Well I got my Sapphire card from Allstarshop, booted up my PC, and everything looked like it was going great. I first decided to load up WoW, the game loaded fine, and the performance increase was definitely noticeable, hitting well over 130FPS in some areas. Next I decided to try Vanguard Beta...
