Radeonx850xt problem
« on: June 10, 2006, 10:18:32 PM »
I am getting all sorts of Archive noise when I play this game and, no problems with any others.  Tons of green and white boxes and lines in the game problem will persist when i exit game for 5 to 10 mins and then go away.  I never get any error messages or anything like that.  Wondering if any one has seen this with this card and drivers (may 24th 2006 drivers loaded) or other cards.

Almost sounds like an overheat problem.  Do you have a temp monitor that you can check?

Artifacts are usaully the result of overclocking, which causes heat.
Are you overclocking any portion of your system? Try running with your case cover off and see if it doesnt go away.

No nothing is overclocked case open case closed dosnt matter.  Ive placed an old card in to limp allong till I can get the replacement in.  Im guessing something was bad and just finaly went all the way after heating and cooling for 6 months.  Least ill get a new one free.

Ummm..........

While the GPU itself should be able to handle much higher temps than that, I'd not call 55C "nice and cold".  You could boil water on that thing.  Seriously.  If 55C is what its running at idle, what's it running while Aces High is going?  I'll bet you are peaking at around 10 degrees more than that during heavy use.  Thats hot enough to start frying components that arent designed to take that kind of temp, like stuff on  your motherboard around the video card.  And if the airflow inside your case isnt the greatest, you are heating up EVERYTHING in there, including your CPU.

62-65c used to cause a nasty video artifact stutter then a black screen on one of my older cards ..

i had to pull the heat sink and reattach it with artic silver and 2 drops of super glue to hold it on better . it droped almost 20c temp after that under a load.

Umm, yeah.

I should just stop while I'm ahead and before I make any other stupid comments lol.  I think 55C works out to like 140F or something like that.  I'm rather in a haze between pain and painkillers and for some reason even though I was converting the temps to Farenheit scale in my head the Celcius label stuck through the conversion lol.  Dont ask me to explain beyond that, I confuse easily right now.  :)  My apologies for the DUH! alert.

That is definately heat related.  The GPU may be fine, but the RAM is getting too hot, which is causing the artifacts.  Aces High has a tendency to be a good load tester for most components.

you still need good airflow thru the case ,,, even on water

hd's, ram , and the backside of the cards still need it
