I've had my XFX 7900GTX since September and haven't had any problems so far (but then again i haven't tried gaming or any benchmarking tests). This week, however, I started, firstly with 3D mark 06. I get the artifacting and areas of black etc and when certain tests are on (such as the one that looks like a wide view of a planet such as mars (don't know the name of the test)) I get like 0 or 1fps!! Then when the tests finish the screen goes black with certain areas visible and the screen flickers on and off meaning I have to restart.
Today i installed FEAR and had weird graphics problems such as sudden really slow frame rates and then when i alt-tab the same blackness/screenflickering on and off happens.
Now I know this is a common problem with 7900GTX's but I heard that it only affects the G70 chips and not G71? Is that right? So if i RMA this card is it likely i'll just get another G70 back or would i get a G71? Would it be worth getting a 7950GX2 instead or are they also dodgey?
Specs are as listed on the left, and the card was from microdirect in case that matters,
Cheers,
Chris.
