    6950 2GB followup- Artifacting fiasco!

    That's good to know. I figured using the "good" card as the display monitor would probably fix my problem while getting crossfire performance. Although, I am worried that it works and in a few months the bad card dies and going back to a single card might be hard to get used to.

    6950 2GB followup- Artifacting fiasco!

    I did flash it back and pulled the clocks back. I actually tried to RMA the card when I got it because of a faulty stock fan. Once I went through Powercolor's tech support and nothing worked, they stopped answering my messages as soon as I said I wanted an RMA. Won't buy form them again.

    6950 2GB followup- Artifacting fiasco!

    Back in March I made this post - http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1597676 After 8 months of unlocked cores with 6970 clocks and zero problems, I get this - http://imgur.com/a/lEN4u There hasn't been any drop in performance and the artifacts only seem to show up in menus and not in 3D...

    Made a HUGE mistake...

    I tested it extensively last night. I ran benchmarks including Furmark, Stalker COP, Heaven and Crysis. Played a few games and performance is exactly where it should be with no artifacts. I wonder if the cooler that broke it is also helping to keep it stable with low temps. Either way, my...

    The problem is I didn't notice them missing until hours later. I was unable to locate any of the missing capacitors.

    Made a HUGE mistake...

    Funny thing about that is the stock cooler fan was not working properly (ran at high speeds all the time) so I dealt with a Powercolor tech on the problem. Several emails were exchanged and when nothing worked, the second I mentioned wanting an RMA I haven't heard from Powercolor in over 3...

    Made a HUGE mistake...

    Actually I seated the ramsinks dead center and when I went to put the cooler on, the screw holes didn't line up. Apparently, the ramsinks need to be placed a little higher on the chip in order for the cooler to fit. When I took the ramsinks off to reseat them higher, I must have damaged the...

    Made a HUGE mistake...

    Somehow while installing some heatsinks on my Powercolor 6950 2GB I broke something on my board. What I broke off is circled in red on the image link below. http://i.imgur.com/NryV5.jpg I know I am a COMPLETE idiot and am very afraid it may mess up my whole system. I am actually typing...
