My X800XL is currently artifacting a bit(a lot actually) during gaming and I suspect its due to its overheating. According to ATI Tray Tools, it reaches a toasty 100___. I think its C but I could be wrong. The heatsink is hot to touch and there is nothing obstructing airflow. I've tried new drivers and I blew the dust out of the fins but its still runs hot.
Thankfully I bought the card when ATI had a 3 year warranty on them and I would like to do an rma. However I don't want them to replace it with say a 512Mb X1600...
I'm sure if I lowered the speeds on the X800XL, it would still be faster than the X1600..
