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 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.

I just noticed it doesn't have heatsinks on the ram. It has small BGA
square memory chips. Samsung brand.

1 - Your card has problems
2 - You should have a side cover on for proper airflow for the entire
system... unless the case is crap.

3 - Your memory doesn't have heat-sink applied? Could you take a
digital pic of the card and put it link to access it?

Most, if not ALL Ti4400 and Ti4600 cards have Heatsinks on their
memory... and they are LONG too...

There is a chance that your USED card had a BIOS "upgrade" so that it
says "Ti4600" - Pricks do this all the time... easier to fool people
with GF2 and GF3 cards... and they get more money for lower end
products.

My Ti4200 is about 7" long... TI4400~4800s are about 9" long.

Here is a TI4600: http://www.hwupgrade.it/articoli/616/pny_1_big.jpg

Here is a TI4200: http://www.hwupgrade.it/articoli/652/pny_1_big.jpg

Which one is yours?
