Pixels or artifacts, whatever you want to call them. It looks like a bunch of dead pixels blinking around the screen at random. At first I thought it was all games, but I've narrowed it down. It only happens when AA is enabled, and only in DX9 games. Here's a list of games I've tested thus far:
Dawn of War 2:
AA = Artifacts
NO AA = No Artifacts
Company of Heroes:
DX10 AA = No Artifacts
DX10 NO AA = No Artifacts
DX9 AA = Artifacts
DX9 NO AA = No Artifacts
Team Fortress 2:
AA = Artifacts
No AA = No Artifacts
Left 4 Dead 2:
AA = Artifacts
No AA = No Artifacts
Call of Duty 4:
AA = Artifacts
No AA = No Artifacts
Borderlands:
This game doesn't have AA so therefore no artifacts
It's an odd problem to have, and a disappointing one at that. I was really hoping I could finally get a video card that just worked out of the box as it should, but it looks like I'm going to have to fight with this one too.
Any suggestions besides RMAing this thing. I've already contacted XFX, but was hoping maybe there is some magic cure, that or maybe someone who has had a similar problem can chime in so I don't feel so alone.
