HELP*little White dots/squares aka Artifacts

[Ze-Jamz]

This isnt an issue with Overcocking or heat fellas..

i kinow this because:

A) 3DMark11 was the first program i used when installing this card to make sure everything weas working ok and it had these Artifacts then but as everything else worked ok i wasnt concerned

B) I can play Crysis2 on Hardcore GFX settings on a resolution of 1920x1200 with VSync enabled with no problems whatsoever apart from a slight decrease in FPS when there is loads going on

Its damm annoying because like i said before i knew i would come across a game where i would haver to put up with it, it was inevitable just didnt think it would be THIS one!

All other versions of 3DMARK work fine, all other games work fine so im hoping someone else has this card and OS so i can get some feedback..i dont want to return the card and be without one for a few days if i can help it OR do i want to change my OS..

This card is in the list of supported cards so what testing did they do to come to that decission and on what OS's i wonder....

the fact that it only happens on 3d mark11 and this game leads me to believe its not the GPU cuz that just doesnt make sence..its conflicting somewhere along the line so im not sure wether this card should be in the 'supported list' or not :S
