I had GSOD and artifacts every third /fourth day got sick of it and I RMA.
Had my new HIS card for a week now, everything is fine so far crossed fingers :D
Well, I decided to go ahead with the RMA .
They told me theres nothing wrong with the card as we tested it for 6 hours. I emailed them back and said I was not happy and there is a fault in the card, then they said we will send it to HIS for further testing.
Today I got an email stating...
Did you get any artifacts during the six months?
I also think it's not my card. I never overclock and my temperatures are always low around
36 to 40.
I play games a lot and the highest it went was around 70 in a few hours of gaming.
I spoke too soon went to 10.12hotfix to 10.10e with both drivers freezing on me.
I decide to go back to my old drivers that came with the video card and see from there
I installed those drivers and had my machine stable for 5 days know. touch Wood:D
Before that I had BOSD, freezing in games, artifacts and everything else that you can
imagine
I never overclock I only use MSI afterburner just for temperature readings
Funny thing happened. I removed MSI afterburner, restarted and 2 minutes later I got the artifacts again
The colored spots are not every day it could be once a week and BSOD once in 3 to 5 days it depends on which drivers I installed.
I use MSI afterburner and my GPU1 and GPU2 are roughly around 34 to 37 temperature
Also if I play games it freezes sometimes but not in every game
This is my first ATI Card in 20 years and what a big mistake.
I tried every driver from 10.4 to 10.12 with no success.
I get white/grey/blue screen than freezes and sometimes it restarts.
And also colored spots all over the desktop screen.:( and GSOD
I think I might sell my card which is...
I have been using 10.8 drivers for one week and everything was perfect even playing games but when I use You tube it freezes and I get blue dots everywhere. I'm going to Stay away from you tube weird:confused:
