So I was trying to find a program that will show video ram, as I thought I was running out while playing fallout 3. In the process of looking around, I downloaded and tried ATITool (despite the name, it will work with nVidia cards too). I ran the scan for artifacts option at the default clocks for my card, and got this.

I have run the program several times, and it consistently finds these 'deltas' at varying locations and amounts each time. However, it also states 'no errors for X seconds' where X is equal to the runtime of the test. So, I am slightly confused. Does this mean my card is no longer stable at the default clock speed? If that is the case, is this grounds to RMA the card?
I have been experiencing crashes when playing some games (Fallout 3 and Dead Space are the most recent), but not others (TF2, for example). I attributed the crashes to poor coding in the games, but this makes me question whether it is infact a problem with my hardware.
