RMA or not to RMA

[Magusigne]

I bought a first gen GTX 260 from XFX for roughly 300 dollars.

As of lately I've had no problems with it at all and its running in the rig in the sig with a 750 Real power Pro..so no power issues here.

My desk top runs at 19x12 and I've been running CS:Source and WAR windowed side by side.

Recently..I've been an occasionally artifacting with a crash usually.

It's only really happened since i've been running those games windowed.

Should I RMA? I believe my heat is perfectly fine on monitor's..

Also (Think XFX would give me the new 216 GTX?)

I have ADD!

No seriously...also I wait for RVR to pop and switch over to there.

Am I killing my FX card?

No, because AFAIK they don't offer cards with 216 cores.

So, you run both games at the same time in two windows and it only artifacts then? Maybe a driver issue, or DirectX issue? You can always check the card by using some test such as ATI Tool or Furmark. Of course you can also contact XFX tech support - just don't expect a free upgrade.
