Hey, all!
So, I've enjoyed my 7900 GT ever since I purchased it in... May of 2006, I believe. It's been able everything I've thrown at it-- even Crysis, believe it or not-- with fairly decent settings, albeit an artifact here or there. However, I've found that Assassin's Creed has finally pushed it too far, and I'm barely able to play it. Plus, my artifacts have been increasing at an unacceptable rate.
1. Now, I have no idea what brand my card is, and I lost the box long ago. Is there an easy way to identify it, so I can see if it would be covered by any warranties?
2. Are artifacts a symptom of a malfunctioning card, a card that's being pushed too far, or both? I usually begin to get artifacts at around 74 degrees Fahrenheit.
Thanks, all!
