I have a 9800 pro old 128 MB edition from visiontek, and today after a lovely 5 hours of gameplay (not contiguous), I came back to play WoW again and now my video card has a serious artifacting problem, and it isnt the game, this happens on the desktop randomly. Unfortunately the only thing I can see doing is getting another videocard, and this is the second piece of hardware thats failed on me this year.
I try to play the game and I get a nice kaleidoscope effect. Why would it do this? It was hot today but I have had my machine in hotter circumstances and it gave no trouble at all...
I really dont want to spend 300-500 dollars on a new card (I trade up if something decides to fail, like now...). Figures my machine would do this before a 3 day weekend, thereby ruining it for me.
