Nvidia 6800 gt artifacting problems
Ok here is the deal. I have a Nvidia 6800 GT. Most of the time it is
overclocked. I would say at 380/100. Standard is 350/100 which is not much. So lately while playing recent video games such as call of duty, doom 3, CS:CZ. I've been getting some really weird graphical issues. Little specs of artifacting. Little to much at one time. I have recently uploaded the hell that is SP2 for XP. I am wondering what I can do to fix things. Here are my specs P4 3.0 Ghz 1gig DDR-ram asus p4p800-E 2 HD 1 DVD+/- burner 1 DVD-Rom 1)Now here is what I think. Does Nvidia need to update the drivers because of the effects of SP2 with my card. 2) So i need a more powerful power supply. I have a 350W right now which from looking online is just not enough. 3)Do I need to buy that Arctic Cooling VGA Cooler Model "NV silencer 5" to replace the **** fan that is one the 6800 GT right now. 4)Lastly I am getting weird power surges from my house. and being the stupid person that I am right now. I do not have a proper power supply to combat the surges. Which I am sure may account for something. Any info or webpages would be of great help in dealing with these issues. It's just annoying when you drop 400+ plus for these things and it's starting to biff on you. By the way it's only 2 months old. I have the latest drivers for everything. Did I mention that I think SP2 is a sick joke from Microsoft! thanks again |
