I bought a brand new 5770 about 3 months ago. Occassionally the card artifacts in games like Wow. Triangle, coloured lines appear around the screen and I have to alt tab and wait a while then switch back to game for the artifacts to go away.
This is on stock clocks as well (no overclocking). My case is an Antec Sonata 3 with 500W Earthwatts PS.
I noticed when I took the video card out of the box there was a bit of space between the heatsink and the GPU. Are other 5770 owners experiencing this issue, or people with HIS graphics cards. I tried returning the card to the shop i bought it from but they tested it in front of me and due to air conditioning it wasn't artifacting for one 3dmark run. What are my options?
