Title: Video Card issue?
Post by: Masherbrum on July 25, 2007, 08:00:25 PM

Most games now that I play, I get some "flashing effect".    In AH2, it will flash "blue sky" and "white".      

Is this my Video Card getting artifacts?

I bought this through Cyberpowerpc last year so I'm covered and they'll pay shipping both ways.   I'll just be without a PC for a bit is all.

Could be overheating or indeed artifacts. Also have you changed anything lately? IE Drivers

I would go to nvidia's site and get new drivers for the card.
