Video card "diagnostics"?

[millhouse]

Sadly, I think my eVGA 6800 Ultra is about to give up the ghost. I have been having significant troubles playing games and in windows media player. Massive tearing, "sunbursting" etc.

The crappy part about this is that I have never OC'd this baby a day in its life. I was wondering if there is a video card tester or diagnostics utility I could run on it. (not benchmarking software).

I have an RMA set up already but want to see if it truly is a hardware problem or something else causing the card to go goofy.


Thanks


Edit, yes I have done the directx testing using dxdiag

I would check and may sure your heat sink is fully seated or that the fan is still working.

These could definetly cause the problems you are having.
