All artifacts problems must read

Its came to my attention people that are experiencing artifacts in 3d app and games I beleive it is the company that makes the cards are telling people that 16 pipes when they can not handle that, you must disable 1 pixel shadder to stop this, this is the 7th video card now that I have seen with the hdware shadder enabled and when disabled it was fixed.

If you need to disable a feature the card was sold as having before it works properly, then you have a faulty card and it should be RMA'd.

Obviously there's going to be unlocked AGP 6800GS cards sold as GTs, and the like.... Not much can be done about those apart from shouting at ebay I guess...

But anything bought new that has a problem should be returned.

I am wondering if the product was sold by a retailer as a new product and the company changed the bios to enable features for sales of their product and knowing that problems were to arrise with the product. Could a law suite be given to that company for false information.
