Well a few of you may remember me posting here a week or two ago asking about problems to do with artifacting and my X1900XT - the general consensus was that i should return it, which i did and now (£20 poorer - stupid company) i have the graphics card back with the company (www.overclockers.co.uk) stating that the card is perfectly fine... Whilst they may be right i'm doubtul so i've decided to come back to you guys
Firstly, my system:
Asus P5W DH Deluxe
2G Corsair XMS2 6400 C4
Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz
Antec TPII 550W
X-Fi Xtreme Music
Antec P180
2 x 160G Hitachi DeskStars (RAID 0)
Windows XP Home
The weird problem is that the card only artifacts on certain apps - these being:
3DMark06 (canyon test and arctic test)
AOE3
WoW
On both games it only occurs when i raise the settings. One of the main things that is confusing me is that with games like F.E.A.R on full settings (1280x1024) it works perfectly, and i thought that F.E.A.R was more demanding than WoW.
So in short if anyone has any tips on what i should do that'd be greatly appreciated, it's a real pain having to play WoW on my old 6600GT on my old comp, atm it's CS:S for me (which works perfectly)
A few of you mentioned altering volts? Not too sure about how i do this but in short any tips on what i should do would be greatly appreciated as after knowing that the company who i bought it off will do nothing about it i'm prepared to start doing stuff that will void warranties Thanks for any help
