I just bought the 8800GTX about 4 days ago (I got the Asus one), and I've just installed FEAR and playing it with everything cranked up
Yesterday I noticed some artifacts (in game --> some stripes on the floor or wall, rainbow color-ish) while I was playing FEAR. It doesn't happen all the time and I usually alt-tabbed it and it's gone. I haven't noticed it playing other games, like WoW, FarCry, Ghost Recon, etc
I checked the card temp from time to time and it averages around 50/75 C (idle/load)
From what I've read 70-80ish C degree is still ok for a 8800GTX (though I could be wrong), but is that what's causing the artifacts? Is 75C too hot for the card?or did I get a bad card? 8O
Sorry if I'm being paranoid, I spend quite a bit $$ on it, I don't want to end up with a lemon
Any suggestions and advices are greatly appreciated
Oh, my pc spec is:
Asus P5B-E Plus
C2D E6600
2gb Corsair PC6400D
Asus 8800GTX
PSU: Silverstone OP1000 1k
2x Seagate 320gb
