I'm wondering if someone might have some ideas about the problem I'm having. I've recently started to get serious artifacts with my 9700Pro. When using Windows, I have no problems. Even ATITool doesn't detect any errors and it finds a max clock of just over 400MHz. But the second I fire up a game or anything 3D, I get all kinds of weird stuff.
I know it isn't a power issue since I modded an old 300W Antec PSU and plugged my card into that. So even with a PSU all to itself, I still get the artifacts. It isn't running hot since I have it water cooled with copper RAM sinks. The back of the GPU barely gets warm.
I'm stumped. Is this common for a toasted video card? Any ideas? I'd like to avoid buying a new card right now if I can.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
