OK, just bought a 7800gt for my system on ebay, seller said "as is" but that card would work occasionally, probably a overheating issue( I know I should have walked away). Anyway I installed the card as a second non sli setup (I already have one 7800gt) and got a lot of offset jagged lines in second monitor, and when I dragged a window over. It scrambled the window, window contents could be reloaded and were fine except for the offset jagged artifacts. I pulled the card out and gave it a good look over and noticed it appears to be missing a capacitor on the bottom edge away from the DVI ports, next to the hole. I have looked at pics of several other 7800 gt's and all have this cap in place. My question is can some one Identify this cap for me and maybe direct me in a way to replace it to see if this is my problem? I don't think EVGA will RMA this card since I really don't know how old it is.
thanks in advance.
