Video Card Issues

Forum Graphics & Displays : Graphics Cards Video Card Issues

Word :    Username :           
 

When I powered on my computer today, I started noticing artifacts on screen in spots here and there.

When I rebooted the issue seemed to go away, no more artifacts.

However, I'm noticing reduced performance in games now, with some stuttering.

Is there any programs out there I can use to test my video card to be sure it's the issue? Temperature on it seems normal, so I don't think it's overheating.

I don't have another card to test with and I don't want to RMA it and then have it sent back because it's not the issue.

Please post your full system specs.
Also download "Fraps" and check your FPS in games and compare it with benchmarks from other sites.
Also download 3DMark06/Vantage,and see if you can successfully run its tests(post the score you get here)
