Card just began artifacting.
Skyrim is NOT okay. I was playing diablo 3 and I kept getting artifacts/black flickers and I thought it was just the game. On Skyrim now and It's done it a few times as well, but with gray/black flickers and little white specks. Also got a few flickers on guild wars. Card also heats up to 80c very quickly on MSI combustor and Diablo 3 as well as other games unless vsync is on. Return the card to Fry's and get a new one?
Anyone know the return policy on fry's graphics cards? I read up on the hd 7950 series, particularly the msi tf3 oc 7950 (which I have) ones and that basically they're hit or miss. I'm wondering if I should replace it for another MSI tf3 oc 7950 OR replace with nvidia.
Please give me information on why I should go with either. This is my first built PC and just when I thought everything would go smoothly =\.
If I were to switch, which Nvidia card should I get that is equivalent or better than the 7950 for around the same price range (314 usd after rebate from fry's)?
