I have a 7900GT. When playing Games like Quake 3 I get no problems but anything that uses direct x 9 I get intermittent issues.

Sometimes when playing WOW I get lights coming from some lights, but only on one angel and they go on for as far as you can see.

Flat out 2 dose it 2.

Starship troopers dose it all the time.

Haven?t tested 3d mark yet.

What happens is there will be a model or light And instead of the light / model ending it just has a constant line always the same color as the object. It will go on forever.

Also occasionally on wow the mountains in the distance will flicker.


I have warranty on the card. I need to know exactly what is wrong so the company can?t be idiots and stuff me around, as they are known to do.


Dose any one have any idea what is causing this ? And how to determine the problem.

Thats the exact kind of problem I was getting just before my 7900gt died completely. There are numerous reports of these cards dying due to bad memory (mine had samsung chips). There are a couple Integrated Circuits on the backside of the card that heat up and can also be the cause of a card failing.

Is your card a factory overclocked card, or have you overclocked it at all? When did you purchase it? Can you check the memory chips on the board and tell if they are Samsung?
