8800gts 320, merkelig artifact

[Lilac1]

Dette er siste skanse før jeg sender kortet tilbake, hadde en lengre brevveksling med nvidia om dette, og de kunne ikke se noe annen mulighet enn reklamasjon, så jeg spør her om noen har hatt samme problem.

 

Når jeg har spilt en stund, får jeg en "rippel" som går over skjermen med jevne mellomrom, en gjennomsiktig horisontal linje som går fra topp til bunn, som "bøyer lyset" på en måte, slik at det ser ut som en slags bølge.

 

Om jeg skal sammenligne det med noe, ligner det på predatordrakten, der alt som linjen passerer ser litt skjevt ut.

 

Kortet er ganske så kjølig, 47-50c idle/61-63c full load noe som jeg mener er ganske spetakulært gitt den middelmådige luftflyten i kabinettet. Og er en såkalt fabrikkoverklokket utgave fra msi med 575mhz kjerneklokkehastighet.

 

Har prøvd to skjermer, en crt og en lcd, samme problem på begge.

 

Noen som kan fortelle meg noe om dette?

Hello Lilac1

 

Thank you for contacting NVIDIA Customer Care.

 

I understand that you have GeForce 8800 GTS graphics card with the driver 163.69 and Vista operating system. You randomly get artifacts when using graphics intensive applications.

 

To understand the nature of the issue you have, I will need additional information such as:

 

1) Since when are you having the issue?

2) Is it after updating the display driver to the driver version 163.69?

3) Did you uninstall or install any software or hardware?

4) Did you try installing any other driver to resolve the issue?

5) Do you have onboard graphics adaptor?

6) Did you try connecting the monitor to another port on the graphics card?

7) Do you get the issue with any specific applications or with all the applications?

 

Regards,

NVIDIA Customer Care.

1: I've had this issue since I got the card in may, following driver updates as they were made available.

 

2: No, see above

 

3: Nothing graphics related. The problem has persisted through a few hardware changes and a complete OS reinstall.

 

4: No, every official driver since May including betas has provided this error.

 

5: No

 

6: No, is this even worth trying?

 

7: Hard to say, the problem only appears in games, and is only really noticeable against a somewhat bright background.

 

This far, World in conflict and Prey have been the ones where the error would be easiest to spot.

 

I see few similarities in the graphics engines of those games, so this leads me to believe that this problem is occurring on all games.

 

If you need a visual interpretation of the problem, think of it as comparable to a transparent wave of sorts, just slightly distorting the screen on it's path from bottom to top of the screen, like a bulge.

Hello Lilac1

 

Thank you for the information.

 

I suspect the issue you have is hardware issue. It could be for the following reasons:

 

1) Due to a defective monitor or

2) Due to a defective graphics card.

 

To isolate the issue, please connect a different monitor and see if you have the same issue, the monitor is fine. If you do not have any issues with a different monitor, then the monitor is defective.

 

If the monitor is fine, then the card is defective. Please contact your card manufacturer for assistance.

 

Please feel free to contact us for any further clarification.

 

Regards,

NVIDIA Customer Care.
