Is this artifacting?

[tech_noob123]

Alright so i've been having this problem for months. I thought it was my monitor so I saved up. I'm still having this problem where it seems like the colour is messed up. I asked this in the monitor forum and someone said it's related to my graphics card (Radeon 7850). Here is a picture of what's happening http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/405/1001176m.jpg/ there are "circles" and they flicker on my screen.

His card is still fairly new in terms of a manufacture warranty. The white line elements made me think it was more artifacts then anything the other effects could be screen bleeding which would be a monitor element. But if hes moved from one monitor to another and the same thing persists its more likely more then not a graphic card issue and you should RMA with the company that had made your card.

Only time I've ever seen a warranty of less than a year was an XFX card with 3 months. Which is the same company that offered lifetime warranties in North America. I don't get why they vary so much by country.

Well they vary so much by country because out of country shipping is very expensive in some cases if they were to send a item say from the states to a country I'll use an example Sweeden it would cost a arm and a leg to get it there. So I think they do it to conserve on cost and be cheap with the consumer because they don't have a office nearby to ship for cheaper.

Do you know the technical term for this for when I return it? Also do you think it's possible that something is messed with the colour settings? Cause I've noticed this happening it looks like colour banding.

I would tell them that your card is producing artifacts that you are receiving color anomalies and lines that you spoke about surely they will understand at that point.

You could also link them to this thread.

That as well you do have proof of the matter.
