Just got this card. It's made by PNY. The card is exhibiting random
green dots but it seems to go away if I clock the card down. I have
tried it on 2 machines and it does the same on both. 2D or 3D, it
doesn't matter. Did I just buy a card with bad memory? TIA

It's possible, but it's also possible that it's getting too hot for
whatever reason. Make sure, by holding the card on its side up to a
light source, or by close examination, that the heatsink is making
good contact with the memory chips. I had an MSI Ti4600 that had a
metal plate for the RAM chips, but it was bowed upward so that there
was a good 2mm between the ram chip and the metal. I'm sure that
didn't help too much with dispersing heat!

It does it immediately after turning the machine on. Plus the side cover is
off. Do they get that warm that fast? Thanks for the info.
