Hi there i was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem i seem to be having with the 7900gt i have. It is the XFX extreme edition 520/1500 and seems to work fine most of the time however whenever i play CS:source especially map de_dust2 it has major graphic glitches like texture going all weird and sometimes walls that disappear (i have attached a gif).
in this image the wall is showing the sky in front of me near the jumping CT, the wall near the CT to the left looks very weird, and the arch above me have a weird triangle sticking out of it....
Was wondering what could be the possible cause of this. I have swapped out my 7900 with my housemates 6600gt and it works fine. The problem can take a while to manifest itself (between 5 mins to 30mins) so i thought it could be heat but i have a well ventilated case with an intake fan at front and exhaust fan at the back and have checked the temps using atitool temp logging and it says max temp of card is 67c which is inline with what most ppl on net are saying is fine for 7900gt. I even pulled the side of my case and blew a deskfan on the card and while temps went down a bit the corruption still occured.
This is my second 7900gt, the first worked fine and didn't have these problems but after about 2 weeks it started showing weird colours and ascii code like symbols all over my screen so i took it back and they replaced it. I paid an extra $20 to get the xfx because the first one was a prolink card and i thought maybe theirs was not a high quality as it was an unknown brand.
I have have been building computers for years and have never had a problem with video cards anthing like this, have i just had bad luck and gotten 2 dud cards or is there something that my system could be doing to cause this?
any input much appreciated.
