Today I put the finishing touches on my new machine, fired her up and finally got her going.
Some hours later after all the Win 7 updating and installing the 10.9 ati drivers I finally got to load up World of Tanks on the new machine. Considering I was going from 4 gigs of ram, 3.0 quad and a GTX 275 to 8 gigs of faster DDR3 ram, 3.4 quad and a 5850 I was expecting some major improvements.
My GTX 275's min FPS never went under 35, the 5850 went as low a 7 on the same settings -.<;; Then of course, i saw something I haven't seen since my old crt 7 years ago : lines and flickering...
so i think the EAH5850 I got from newegg is bad.
OR
I have the latest drivers, IE the ones that were released yesterday, is there a known problem with those?
Another note, after exiting out of WoT i decided to push the card a bit and see what happens... Fired up furmark, set it to stress testing and my max resolution 1650x1050) and about 30 seconds in at about 143 fps / 63 celc the screen abnormalities got so bad I deiced to shut down the machine (was flickering blues, greens, 4 windows, the whole nine yards)
I'm thinking I'm gona RMA the card, as I just bought it last week -.-

overall those newegg is super easy to deal with just repack everything the card came with and ship it back after getting in touch with them first and your all good they will even email you a UPS label to print and slap on the box
