Ok this has gotten alot worse over time. Now I can't even connect to ANY servers. At least it was 50/50 before. Any ideas?

Well I finally received my replacement card today. They ended up giving me an 8600GTS, and yup im kinda pissed. I bought my 7900GT for $279 it died in less than a year, went through the trouble of going throught the RMA process, not to mention being without a my main videocard for over 2 weeks...

umm with XFX its the same deal no? if you dont need to include the receipt then how do they know who originally bought it?

Well there's quite a few cards in the 8000 series, the 8400 8500 and 8600 cards are all slower than a 7900GT, I'd be pretty pissed if thats what they end up giving me...

As it turns out I just shipped my XFX 7900GT in for RMA. I was getting the randon colored dots all over the screen and bad artifacting in 3D apps. Pretty nasty stuff when your trying to enjoy your PC. So far I like the online messaging ticketing system, although if my card was totally dead...

Only happens when I play HD content, usually it will crash after 2-5 mins and everything freezes! I have to hard boot to restart the whole PC. Cpu load is around 30-40% and temps are 48-52C accoring to Everest ( BTW its an 805 D chip ) Doesnt matter if the cpu is overclocked or not, Everest...

Well its kinda hard to recommend one card over the other seeing as how the 9800GT isnt even out yet, and no one outside Nvidia knows much about it, let alone has done any real testing/benchamarking on it ...

Depends how bad it is. If it started to blank out during gaming I would definetely RMA it, once in awhile in windows I could probably live with. I'm about to RMA my XFX 7900GT, I get colored dots on my screen all the time, and sometimes artifacting in 3D apps as well. Not sure how long the...

Well it seems as though its not totally stable, it crashed twice in two days. I recently installed everest, at full load temps hit 67c and voltage drops to 1.36V, but it idles at 1.4V??

Exactly, but even worse is that everyone seems to be jumping off the deep end ragging on this card based off of one sole test, made by one person.

Installation was fairly easy, without too much fuss I have my Pentium 805 D overclocked to 3.825 Ghz, I did need to tweak the voltage a bit or else it would crash under full load. It also idles at 44C, fan is running at 1200rpm and its nice and quiet. There's probably more room left in it...

ahh I C..anyone have an extra invite!? ;) pls send to: jeff125@yahoo.com thanks!

I Have an 805D as well, mine runs at 3.5Ghz along with a 7900GT. Currently I'm playing Bioshock, UT3 and a couple driving sims, this combo is more than enough. I am planning on grabbing an e2180 soon along with an 8xxx series GPU for when I move on to Crysis and othe nex gen games. Toms hardware...

Same thing has been happening to me randomely last couple of days, i thing youtube is fubared at the moment.

Hmmm I didnt know those could be fixed, I thought that was just a product of lower quality video files. When watching 720P or 1080P it goes away. I'd like to know this also, as well as if there's anyway to enable Vsync?
