So my computer is working on it's 3rd graphics card right now and I have just seen this one start artifacting as well.
Originally I had a Nvidia 8800 Gts for about 2.5 years. That began artifacting so I got a replacement from eVga. They sent a larger 9800 presumably because they had no 320mb 8800's laying around. This card was slightly more monsterous and took only 3 months to start artifacting hardcore.
Last week I borrowed my roomie's nvidia 9800 gt on the off chance that I was just having bad luck with cards. Well now my buddies card is just starting to show artifacts in games as well.
The nice man at EVGA cooly demanded that I purchase a 2nd power supply if the new replacement card goes bad...
We checked my hardware in BIOs and the power seemed stable. Could it be something else?
AMD 64x2 5600 2.8ghz
2gb ram
Asus m32mn mobo
various g. cards
Rosewill 500w PSU
