I am having a small query regarding video card. I just wanted to know that What are the reasons of video card artifacts? I think mostly is video card itself (GPU, RAM, etc.) but can the CPU, motherboard or system RAM be the cause of artifacts?
Please provide some views regarding this
High heat.
Mostly shows up if you overclock the core or memory to much.
Might also be down to not enough power but mostly overheating.
if i'm not mistaken there are 2 types of artifacting.. which you can identify.. one of them corresponds to your core increase and one of them to your memory.
I tried some more volts anyway and it didnty help. Might I need more power supply ? I am using the stock 430 watt that came with my tsunami dream case .
babyelf , if you might stumble upon that website again it would be real helpful .
Stats , yeah 6800 are different , and that may be why 6600gt's are such a good mid range card , or they just measure it differently or something . Mine stock is 500 mhz and the nvidia overclock interface detects the maximum safe overclock as about 575 mhz
Normally artifacts tells me the graphics card is overheating, that happened once with my 1900xtx when i had my old case. Make your the fans spinning and none of your case fans have died.
The random reboots seems like PSU problems. Whats the +12v line say for Amps (usually A) on teh generic PSU? It could be that its just a shitty generic PSU.
