Yeah ive sent two to Sapphire now :roll:

Well i had a response from ATI and it wasn't helpful at all!!! Apparently the Sapphire X800GT is "not certified by ATI"!!!!!!!!!! Whats all that about! It wasn't on there list when filing a support ticket, as well as quite a few other Sapphire cards, and apparently thats because it's not an...

Yeah :( Well i had to send a problem report with loads of system info to ATI 2 days ago, so hopefully they'll have something to say soon.

Glad to see the threads still going. Filho, sorry to hear about the PSU, i did say i thought it wouldn't be that. See some people love to preach about stuff, like the guy who posted all the PSU stuff on the other forum, "your psu is no way near good enuff" and that sort of thing :roll: Oh...

Filho, its certainly going to benefit you having a better PSU (i originally put harddrive?? must be going mad) and the one you're getting looks to be a very good one. I still am not sure it will solve the problem though. I guess since you had the video error message on post aswell you might also...

Have now sent a lengthy email to ATI so will see what they have to say.

Dimkaumd - take a look at this thread and tell me if its the same thing, there are lots with problems.... http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=31&threadid=1729607&enterthread=y

I have now tested the 5.11 Catalysts that came out yesterday, and theres no improvement :(

If the line is not showing up on hundreds of screenshots then it definately sounds like something is up with the monitor, and not the card. Is there no 'factory restore' or default settings on the monitor?

alizee, i know, it's really strange isn't it! Same with me, only artifacts at 2x! Is the algorithm a software thing? Cos if it was the drivers i would have thought there'd be other people but i can't seem to find much. Then again, i can't understand how it could be the hardware, but i'm no...

My PSU is 18A on 12v, some people say 15A is as much as you need, some say 18A is, so you could do with a new PSU but i really don't think thats the problem. Edit: I have also started a thread over at the Sapphire forums now, it can be found here - Problem With Batch Of Sapphire X800GT's???

filho - your PSU is a little low, and not enough power can cause problems with graphics cards so if you had started your own thread someone might have told you to try a higher powered psu. However, the x800gt is not meant to take too much power, and both azilee and i have 430w psu's, i have...

Hi alizee, just came across your post. I have EXACTLY the same problem, and have already had a thread going for quite some time. Have also found someone else with the same problem...... and guess what..... we are all running Sapphire X800GT's!!!!!!!! Have a look - Anti-Aliasing Causes Texture...

The temps are a little high but should be fine. The 'failed VGA test' however is the board failing a test during the system POST. I haven't had this, but it suggests their is something wrong with the board. Try checking yours is seated properly, or remove it and put it back in, and then try...

Hi filho, yeah i have the same spikes on player models, though not as often as the texture corruption, and yes i also have black dots on FEAR!! So far though i have not had it when AntiAliasing has been off. Have you also checked the temperatures on your card? If you have installed the TRIXX...
