I may need to RMA my graphics card.

VenomIreland

Lads (or lad in this case) here : http://www.overclock.net/ati-drivers-overclocking-software/806477-graphics-driver-crashes-5830-a.html has suggested that my card might be faulty and I may end up RMA'ing it

So I was wondering, what are my options when returning it?

Are you still oc'ing your pc and if so did you see if it happens at stock?

Did your try a different socket on the mobo?

The graphics driver crashes even at stock T_T

Ok I just tested Morrowind again, after making sure everything was lowered to stock (turns out both core and memory were oc'd by 25 mHz) and it ran fine!

I don't think I'll have to RMA after all

Your saying the gfx was still oc'ed? (i'm not laughing i swear :P )

The card still sounds flaky to me if it was only oc'ed by 25mhz and this caused your prob.
I would say memory on card may be your prob but hopefully its ok.

Yeah, I can tell it runs well though if it runs Morrowind for more than 5 seconds XD

The funny thing is I'm not joking, that's about how long it'd run before the graphics driver crashed with it OC'd

I'm still shocked by such a small oc on the gfx causing it tbh unless its only part off the problem.

Yeah I'm a bit weirded out by it, still I don't really care about OC'ing it anyway, so it doesn't matter.
