I recently purchased (under a month ago) a Sapphire ati hd 4830 (one with 2 dvi ports). Whenever I play any game, I get green artifacts, but the video cards temperature doesn't exceed 59C. Also, the card idles at 33C. I do have it overclocked to 620/1010 from the 575/900; but from what I have heard and read that very slight overclock shouldnt matter. Plus, at default settings I can't play hitman at ultra high (reason I have it overclocked). Could I have a faulty card?
"Though the board design itself definitely has changed, in essence the product is feature and performance wise 98% similar to that GeForce 9800 GTX+, even with the same clock speeds and 128 stream processors, the same 55nm G92b graphics processor. Its clock-speeds are 738/1836/1100 MHz (core/shader/memory), on par with reference 9800 GTX+ speeds. The card will have the same 512/1024 MB of GDDR3 memory and the very same 256-bit memory bus."

O and those are OEM cards apparently not for individual sale lol.
In other words I guess, GTS 150 for example in a Dell computer, and if you buy it for your custom it will be called GTS 250, atleast thats what I understand.
8800 GT and 8800 GTS were the first to have them, then they branched off, though its very impressive if you think about it, since the 4830 just came out this year to match the 8800 GT.
But it is outplayed for sure
Nvidia will probably release something new when ATI releases a new 4850 equivalent for cheaper or just a plain and simple faster card.
Why would I say its old news if I didn't understand it? lol
Only difference is that your post is OEM versions, but we all knew this was coming from January. well most of us

They are External graphic card not IGP if some one bought GT 120 (Geforce 9500GT) wit OEM PC ...
and he decide after while to sell it.. so what he will say (i have GeForce GT 120 )or Geforce 9500GT
It's the same old trick and it's used by all parties, just more often and more clearly in the nvidia camp. But as much as I'd like to say cheats and foul play, it won't change a thing. They'll keep trying to convince people to buy this junk and people will buy it because it's "new"
About the ati card, I have the same problem. The 4850 of mine runs perfectly at stock, but when I OC it, it goes bad, Ati Tray Tools just crash and I get the same artefacts in games too. I just decided to run the monster card at stock as it's good enough and I'd rather have a good card that last long.
