Is this a hardware problem?

[bholstege]

My card is a 4850

I was playing a game, left to eat lunch, and when I came back the screen was artifacting heavily. Minimized the game and ran furmark, artifacts in that as well. Rebooted the computer, and have been running furmark for the last 10 minutes with no problem.

Was this a driver hiccup, or do I need to do an RMA?

sounds like overheat or lack of power. Check your temps. if the problem continue then yes you might want to rma it.
