Im currently on my third 6800u from BFG. The first one I purchased directly from outpost about two months ago was giving me corruption in hl2 and wow, and dvi blinking issues. This card would artifact immediately in ati tool. The second card I recieved as an RMA had the same problem, artifacting in games, ati too, etc etc. At this point I thought it was either my system, or something else. I tried it on a different setup, I even purchased a new power supply. No luck, it went back to BFG for the second time.
Every time I recieved a card I did a clean install, and tested multiple driver revisions while using driver heaven's driver cleaner between each install. The third card I recieved today seems to be ok, I havent seen any problems in either wow or hl2 in the couple hours Ive been playing. However ATI tool still artifacts after 10 or so seconds. The interesting thing is that it doesnt artifact nearly as much as the cards before it.
Heres my setup:
a64 winchester core 3200+ on an Asus a8v
2x512 corsair pc3200 valueram
vantec 520w power supply
windows xp sp2
Does anyone have any idea what the heck is going on with my card? I dont feel comfortable having a card that artifacts in ATI tool(its always been a good piece of software for me, but then again I've always used ati cards to test it with).
