Sounds like that's when you say "Well I'll just dispute this with my credit card company then, since it's a fact that amd does not warrant oem cards and your policy states you warranty for x amount of time when that is the case."

It is in fact one of the video cards displaying the problem, the other one shows no such issue when all by itself. Well guess I begin the dance.

I think when I get up later I am going to take each card out and test them again individually, and inspect them one more time, just to make sure.

Actually it is idling around 30c my bad.

Same as the other card. Idle around 37c load the same at 70c at 28% fan speed. I tried underclocking both cards in crossfire and funny thing happens, my crossfire performance is better underclocked than running stock. Also my performance in single card seems to be better than when in crossfire.

Shouldn't be it is brand new

Right now I have the cards hooked up in crossfire and I only experience it when crossfire is enabled, but so as not to think it's a crossfire only problem I did test both cards individual before I set them up in crossfire and the one card displayed the artifacting all by itself while the other...

My problem is a lot worse than yours. I get flickering textures and garbled textures until I quit and relaunch the game.

Yeah I am going to try to return it and hopefully get a refund for it. If not then I should be able to warranty it..

I have a 750w Thearmaltake toughpower with 60A on the 12v rail. Should be enough to power two 5870s. Like I said it did it with just the one particular card which is why I think it's the card, but I just want to make sure before I put in an RMA since it's not a consistant problem.

I recently got a hold of a couple 5870s and I'm experiencing some weird corruption with graphics and I'm thinking one of the cards is bad. Anyways the thing is when I first launch a game after a reboot there will be corruption, after quiting the game, sometimes more than once and reloading it...

My last chance for a happy Christmas. :p

I still need a video card for this new build.

I'm in.

I'm in for one.
