I'm getting frequent artifacting in Vantage's Jane Nash test on my Powercolor 5850 PCS+. At stock clocks (760/1050) there are probably ~5 cases in the test where I'll get a flash of large black squares or a large black circle. Underclocking the card to 600/800 reduces the number of artifacts but they're still there.
This wasn't really an issue for me since I hadn't noticed artifacts in anything else, not other vantage tests, not in games either. Until today anyway, when I saw a very brief flash of a short line of small black squares in Crysis. Walking back and forth in the same area I see the flash of black squares in the same place.
Could an underpowered graphics card be causing artifacts? My PSU is a 5 year old Antec TruePower 480w. It's also powering:
i5 750 @ 4.2ghz 1.375v
4gb ddr3 @ 1680
gigabyte p55a-ud3r
x-fi xtrememusic
2x sata hdd's
bluray drive
3x 120mm fans
*edit* Woops sorry if this is the wrong forum, didn't notice there was a subforum for AMD.
