Reply: (edit)Those anomalies are described as artifacting, and it could be the result of an overheating card, case ambience or even a buckling PSU. I would suggest thoroughly cleaning the innards of your computer including the CPU/HSF assembly and the video card's HSF as well.

Reply: (edit)If you're sure your temps are low, then the fault is with the card, specifically the memory. Call BFG's tech support and tell them the problem, and they will explain their return/exchange policy to you. Bottom line is, your card has a physical defect that no software can fix. HOWEVER, one alternative is to use Coolbits to underclock the card. If that works, then it could've been high clocks causing instability.

Reply: (edit)i didnt contact them. but heres the latest update...seems the card is not at fault. i installed it on a second system and ran 3dmark2001 on it. NO ARTIFACTS ran 3dmark on my system and it still produces artifacts...could it be the motherboard? a bad agp slot or the CPU(omg i hope not) whats the best way to test that system?

Reply: (edit)Download and install the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard, turn off fastwrite and if you are overclocking the computer, cancel the overclock. I still suggest you disassemble the CPU/HSF and thoroughly clean it out, then reassemble it.
