have you tried a different power supply ? i had some similar problems and it was the powersupply.

Ok i got my card hardmodded with a Circuitwriter conductor pen ($12.99) , i used 2 toothpicks (i cut them and put one on each side of the 1 2 3 pin from top to bottom) to keep the ink from spreading, then i pressed the pen carefully between pin 2 and 3 to put a little ink, removed the...

i know that hardmoding is not easy, but wich one of these would be less trouble? Conductive paint? Conductive ink pen ? or arctic silver adhesive ? im not sure wich one to use.

anyone knows if a conductive ink pen would work? (Circuitwriter)

I got my card softmodded, now can i flash it with 9800 pro bios without having to hardmod? And Has anyone tried to hardmod with conductive ink ? is it possible ? Would be great since i found a place that sells a conductive ink pen with a micro tip.

Try to lower the core clock on ATitool, something around or below 300, if the artifacts are gone, then it means you need better cooling. i had artifacts on my card and when i lowered the core clock they disapeared, now that i changed the cooler it works perfect. give it a try.

thanks for the quick response :) i feel much better now whew!

Im a little confused, i have a powercolor radeon 9800se 128MB 256bit that softmodded fine to 9800 pro it has the same core and memory speed as the 9800 pro. I been playing games and i dont have any artifacts at all, i played HL2 Doom3 and others, but if i run atitool .23 it detect lot of...

Ok, i just tried Doom 3 for 1 hour, with stock cooling, softmodded to 9800 pro and i had NO artifacts at all, but atitool keep detecting them, im getting a VGA silencer soon, so the question is, should i keep my card softmodded after i put the VGA silencer? i dont get any artifacts in any games...

Im having the same problem you are but with a powercolor 9800se softmodded to 9800 pro,when you get the delta pixels it means that atitool found artifacts , but when i play games they look fine, im not sure if my card is fine or not :confused:

Im having almost the same problems you are, exept that i cant see any artifacts when i play games, Atitool detects artifacts around 10 to 15 yellow dots, but when i play games they look fine, i played half-life 2 without problems, now if i lower the core clock it shows more artifacts but only on...
