I sent this in to tech support at XFX...maybe someone here has had the same issue...its got me stumped for sure.
A red dot has appeared on my monitor. I was also having a few graphical glitches. Thinking it was the LCD monitor I tried a few ways of getting rid of this dot. Nothing worked. I noticed several more dots show up literally overnight. Thinking it was the monitor for sure..I swap it was a known good CRT. The same dot appeared on the CRT as it had been appearing on the LCD. I took the card out and made sure no debris was on it or in the PCI-E slot. I then replaced the card making sure I was careful and that the card was seated correctly. This seemed to take care of some of the weird graphical glitches but the red dot will not go away. I switched resolutions and it moves depending on what resolution I use. I can go from 32bit color down to 16bit and it goes away but still appears in games. I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers from the XFX website. Ive also watched the cards temperature and it has not over-heated at all. Also, when I switched the LCD for the CRT, I could make the dot disappear by using 75hz refresh rate instead of 60hz.
Any ideas..?
