After playing around with my new card for a few weeks, I've noticed two very odd things:
1) The card makes a noise when rendering. When I run a program that just renders a black screen with DirectX and achieve absurd frame rates (10000+), there is a noticable high pitched squeal. If I run something like Milkshape 3D, it translates into a rapid clicking sound when I move objects around. I don't know if this is a big deal or not. If I listen very, very closely I can hear the same thing on a friend's 6600 GT. I never heard it on my 9600 XT.
2) Every 5-10 minutes the card will render a corrupted frame. This is what really concerns me. It happens even when sitting at the desktop. I run dual monitors and it happens equally on both of them. The frame looks like it's scrambled, and for the split second it's up I can recognize a few elements. I don't know if this is a driver problem, a BIOS problem, or a hardware problem. Has anyone seen something similar?

). There's even a movie one of the users recorded, showing exactly, what he means (he used an external camera). Hope my x1950xtx won't have these problems. Will see tomorrow
