Are there any definitive tests for faults in ati 7970?

fitsu · Feb 6, 2013, 06:52 PM

Basically, i'm having an artifacts issue which i've asked about at http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=179766 and some people think the cause may be a faulty graphics card now while i've run both a furmark and atiscan artifacts test and they've both come back with 0 issues, i'm wondering if these are definitive proof that my graphics card isn't faulty and if there not then is there a test out there I can do to know 100% if it is/isn't faulty?

Where are you getting the artifacts?

Looking at the other thread (you should stick to using one thread), those aren't run of the mill artifacts. Perhaps it's just a DX9 thing? I wouldn't call them artifacts... I would most likely ignore them.
