    Problems with my 4850

    I recently purchased a Palit 4850 sonic with stock clocks of 685/1000. Temps are pretty low at 40ºC at idle and around 55ºC at the most in 3d games. The problem is there are some artifacting issues especially when I'm playing COD4. I really don't know if you call them artifacting cos when i...
