Hello guys,
I've recently purchased an Nvidia 5900SE used off ebay. The card seems to work fine for just about everything except when against dark blue-ish color (like the background of ngemu.com, if anyone knows them), I sometimes see red lines jumping around. Is this considered an artifact? (BTW, could somoene please provide link to sites with screenshots of artifacts? I hear them very often but never seen what they look like). Could it be caused by temperature? SpeedFan reports the core to be around 43'C idle.
Thank you.
