dx9 has dx8 support

Thanks for that-just been checking frantically through my PC mags and just
read that. So, whaddya reckon? Is the card busted?


Yes,looks that way to me.Don't worry about dx9,it works with your card.
The stripes you describe could mean damaged memory on the card,this explains
the freezes in the gametests.
I know someone who had those stripes with his ti4800 and it was broke.
Go here for some benchmarks and testing progs for your vidcard
