7300gs and 24" samsung artifacts

freaksavior · Nov 26, 2007, 05:57 PM

Is that possible that my card is so low end it's having problems displaying the ful res of my monitor? it keeps showing artifacts as in a few spots across the monitor aren't diplayed. i know there not dead pixels because they are all fine atm. but any time i load a page it artifacts or play a game (although i really can't play anything atm)

also i'm not using the dvi cable it came with...i'm using a dvi-d cable
it came with the middle cable.

(next to the bottom)

nflesher87 · Nov 26, 2007, 07:02 PM

well first, you should tells us which model 7300GS it is (memory)
even despite whether it's the 256mb or 512mb model, it sounds like the memory (most likely, though it could be the core) isn't coping well with 1920x1200 and overheating

freaksavior · Nov 26, 2007, 07:03 PM

its evga 512mb

does atitool tell you temps for it? if so check them out at the different 16:9 resolutions and see how the 1920x1200 temps compare to what you were running it at before

freaksavior · Nov 26, 2007, 07:10 PM

i don't have it installed

nflesher87 · Nov 26, 2007, 07:37 PM

lol ok well you asked, I'm just giving suggestions...

freaksavior · Nov 26, 2007, 07:38 PM

yes, i did.....i am thinking they card just can't handle the full res

WhiteLotus · Nov 26, 2007, 07:40 PM

i would second that it just isnt good enough, maybe clocks are too low or something, but maybe im talking out of my ass

it would simply be laggy/stuttery if the clocks were too low/the card couldn't handle it
I really think some part of the card is overheating due to the constant stress of running 1920x1200

wtf8269 · Nov 26, 2007, 07:45 PM

I can't imagine it having too much of a problem with that resolution in Windows. However games would be a completely different story. I suppose, as I see you are running vista, that it may have a hard time running Aero.

WhiteLotus · Nov 26, 2007, 07:46 PM

but wouldnt a higher clock help to decrease the stress?

k sorry

hat · Nov 26, 2007, 08:24 PM

Got a fan you can aim at the card to cool it off to see if it fixes the issue? You could even use a good old-fashioned box fan and take the side door of the case off.

newtekie1 · Nov 26, 2007, 08:27 PM

Yeah, my guess would be that Aero is overheating the card.

The little POS heatsink eVGA put on their 7300GS is hardly enough to keep the think cool under constant stress for very long.

Is that your card?

hat · Nov 26, 2007, 08:29 PM

No, THIS is my card..

lmfao

freaksavior · Nov 26, 2007, 08:31 PM

yeah it is.....i swapped my dads 8800gts for my card he he he.

Anyway, the little itty bitty heatsink is probably the cause, if you can even call that thing a heatsink.

nflesher87 · Nov 26, 2007, 09:51 PM

holy hell, yeah that pic of the heatsink settled it newtekie, I was picturing the HS evga uses on the 7300GTs in my mind which is at least marginally better, covering the memory and all

freaksavior · Nov 27, 2007, 02:03 PM

yup yup that would be my card. but like i said i'm runnig the 8800 now and he's got the 7300gs
