i had no issues with this card until recently after a little over a week of use.

how should i respond to this? take a look at these 2 screenshots.





taken from nfs undercover (yes i know...) wth the game is flipped sideways with screwed up colors.


this was from a build for a friend...

e8400 @ 450x9 4.050ghz @ ~1.31vcore bios, 1.296 in cpuz, (not sure if its 100% error free yet, still priming).

asus p5q pro 1613 bios

asus eah4850 top @stock oc values.

ati 8.12 drivers.


how should i address this issue? everything is maxed in game to 1920x1200. havent seen this issue yet when testing FEAR 2 demo. i suspect overheating, but then i havent seen it higher than 70C yet. with manual adjustment of fanspeed to 100% on expertool, it doesnt seem to be making a difference.

thanks.




EDIT: used ati tool to scan for artifacts... this is what i get :(

 
Does this happen when you run the CPU at stock speeds? Since you're running at over 4Ghz and you haven't proven it stable yet, I'd have to suspect that first.
 
so far i bumped my vcore up to 1.32 bios, shows 1.312 in cpuz. ran prime95 small ffts for about 8 hours now with no errors. post screen was showing the same corruption effects. ill test out some other things and get back to you guys. thanks for the input.
 
Run prime again and use ATI Tool to scan for artifacts at the same time. To me that looks like it could be a ram problem. Ive found Intel Burn Test to be very good at testing ram stability, do at least 20 runs of IBT.
 
added screenshot with ati tool.

most likely not a ram issue any longer but a video card issue? how should i address this? send this back to newegg or what? is this a prevalent problem in the 4850 or just the asus top 4850?
 
I'm not surprise if its a gpu problem. Just rma it with Asus, or return it to Newegg. And no, I don't think it's a prevalent problem with the 4850. It's just that you were unlucky with the draw. If you really want to test, just pop another gpu into his system and see if the problem is still there.
