Huh, good info. I haven't played with 5-series NV cards at all.


When I reported the issue to XFX, it was the tech there who said coldbug, and instantly. He even seemed to know what temp the card needed to reach to stop artifacting, and he said it was common, not like a big percentage of chips, but enough that they knew of the issue, and how to deal with it.

And my card did it on stock cooling. I guess my house is cold.
