Well I had an XFX 7900GT for a few years and well, I need to underclock it 10mhz to play games or the screen just changes to noise after a few seconds of opening the game. I opened a support ticket for XFX and it was closed without reason. So, I think it's time for a new video card, or a fix if anyone has one.

I play games, tf2, dod:s, cs 1.6, wc3 nothing too fancy so what would you guys recommend, i am planning to get all the new games like cod modern warfare 2 etc.
 
I'd either go with the GTX260 (216 shaders) or the ATi 4870 or 4890 to keep up with recent games. What resolution to you play at?
 
heh... I had this exact problem with my ATI 9800 pro a while back. I had it installed in a Sony VIAO where it practically melted my video card because the case wasn't meant to house such a card. I began to see artifacts and the only way to stop that was to underclock it.

Try calling them directly. People have had much better results than doing their returns online. Hell, you might even get a better card out of it.
 
Well if it is that old of a card, wouldn't the warranty be out by now? If it has a lifetime warranty and you did not void it, then by all means CALL THEM! lol
 
well i found out i had to register the card within 30 days of purcahse rofl

I HAD NO IDEA!

at least i learned a lesson, time for an upgrade!
