compudude2007 Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 I was using this card up until today when it started artifacting really bad. It is even artifacting on the desktop. I can't figure out what's wrong with it! I spent 4+ hours today trying. I also reseated the hsf and it still artifacts. I am selling it as-is. It might be a quick fix and I'm just missing something. If you can't fix it you could use if for parts like if you broke a chip off of your card and you need a replacement. pm me an offer.

lilkev715 Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 Artifacting while still on the desktop? Is it overclocked or stock? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KraZy Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 I think I just fixed mine. Time and heat had slowly warped the car to the point where it was not seating properly. It was so subtile that it would take about 30mins for the card to warm up enough to the point where it would distort enough to loose contact. (Signs of this were also evident in odd fluctuations of my rail voltages, btw. it was mainly the +12v rail that was giving the hint...) Ok, here is my point: monitor -everything- and maybe you will get a hint about the problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyMonkey Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 you know what would suck if bigred fixed it and then he would get a 9800pro for $50(not for RED though) and even a broken 9800pro is worth $50 well to me atleast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
