every time i play Prey, or Fear for more then 10 min when i quit back to desktop i get alot of artifacts on the screen and cant click anything or i cant play and videos with out them locking up my system. but when i reboot the problem goes away until i play again.

i have a 7900GS from woot. not over clocked.with 91.47 drivers. i wanted to know if i got a bad card or if something else is to blame.
 
uhhh dont think that card exists???

okay i am wrong.. .weird wonder when egg will have it? think there will be an agp version?
 
Is that the MSI 7900 GS? Could you provide a pic of the card? MSI does not have the card
on its site and I can't find a pic of it.
 
i sometimes get the same problem. I think its just a bug in the 91.47 drivers.

So mxphreaky...it looks like the reason the card does not work well was because someone
stole them from MSI.

What are you going to do? Maybe if you send it to MSI, they will give you a good deal on a
retail MSI 7900 GS.
 
unless i see full proof of the cards being stolen, im just gonna keep it. like alot of people have said, it looks like MSI is trying to cover there butt for shipping out a bunch of sub par cards.

but since i made this posts i haven't had any problems any more.
