Well I don't have a thermometer or anything to check the temps inside my case itself, and theres no sensor telling me what my case temps are, but its not warm at all in there, air flow is absolutely streamlined. The fact that the artifacts go away at 1280x1024 should mean something else is the...

Everything is the same, I've only had this monitor for a week meaning its been running at 1680x1050 for that long. Before that, I had a CRT which I ran at 1280x1024. Both before and now, all my temps are exactly the same. GPU idle 46, load 56-60; CPU 32-33 idle, 39-40 load; mobo 37 idle, 43...

I've seem to have solved the problem by turning down the resolution! Anything below 1600x900 works artifact free, but now my screen looks horrible! Does this mean the card can't handle 1680x1050 native resolution? It did before, but why artifact now?

Yeah i got an LCD. Viewsonic 20" widescreen and its awesome! I clocked my card higher now and its been running at 499/1160 and the artifacts have lessened. Actually it changes depending on what I do. Sometimes after surfing there's going to be a whole litter of them on my background, but after...

When playing a game, then alt+tab out, the temps are at 56C. Its not even bad at all in games, I just see a couple miniscule red dots here and there. It's horrible on the desktop, wherever there is color. Right now I'm using photoshop a lot and doing lots of graphic editing and there are red...

Everything set back to defaults. Everything running fine, except, artifacts still there!!! I guess I just got a lemon or something. Can't wait for the 7900gt!

I don't really want to mess with that though. I just got this bad feeling when I set everything back to default and then back to the settings I got now, It won't be prime stable anymore and problems are going to start occuring. I had that experience with my previous computer. I guess it's...

I have a Viewsonic 2025wm. You mean set my cpu back to 2.0ghz and ram back to 200mhz? Or just the video card. I never actually messed with the video card in the mobo BIOS.

I've owned an evga 7800gt co for about a month now and all of a sudden I'm getting artifacts all over my screen. It happened last night, everything was fine all day then at around 10:00pm I noticed a few blinking dots on my desktop background. Now there is a lot more of them and growing. It...

Hey 1Dark1Sharigan1, nice oc! Did you just get the stock 7900gt? and what cooling are you using?

I'm currently in a bind here and I need your opinions to help me out. I bought a 7800gt co a month ago and now I want to step up. I just don't know whether I should just get the stock 7900gt or the 7900gt co superclock? Heres my situation, I plan to do the simple 1.4 volt mod...

Thanks for the very informative replies. I've already decided to step up my 7800gt co to the 7900gt. I've been reading up on the very simple volt mod to 1.4 with conductive pen and seeing people reach 610/1790 on air very easily. I got two questions. 1) I'm on queue for 7900gt co...

I'm just curious as to what the difference is between the 7900gtx egs and the 7900gt co superclock for real world perfomance. I've studied all the reviews and benchmarks and it seems like the 7900gt co superclock performs almost on par with the 7900gtx egs. For people who already own the cards...

Thanks for the positive feedback guys. I'm going to take some more pictures, but I'm going to try to fix it up some more too! It did take quite a while due to the fact that I had to spend lots of time trying to figure out the best way to fix it up. Putting it together didn't take very long.

Inspired by Dynamix 3D's P180 setup, I sought out to do the same with mine. I just finished the intial build and cleanup yesterday and this is the best I could do for now just with zipties! Specs: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ @ 2.5ghz Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro DFI Lanparty NF4 UT Ultra-D...
