Artifacts

Featured Replies

My video card seems to be dying. It runs fine on the desktop and with all of my work stuff, but every game I open gets artifacts all over the screen. I'm wondering if this could be caused by the PSU, because I did get a warning a couple days ago that my video card wasn't receiving enough power, but I thought this was temporary. After looking closer I see that my 12V power is usually around 10.5-11.5 V, is that normal? Lastly, can this cause permanent damage to the card?


Always check the 12V lines. ;) You should get yourself a nice Antec 350 or 400W PSU. Artifacts could be power, driver conflict or overheating, or even a low-quality model of a PSU. Some video cards are known to be problematic.

How many devices do you have in your PC?

Ack - get yourself a new PSU - quick! The 12V rail should never go below 11.5 (11.4 is the lower end of the ATX spec IIRC).

Could this cause damage to your equipment? Yes! A faulty PSU can provide irregular power to the components, subjecting them to voltage spikes and drops. Electronic components like constant power.

Antec and Seasonic are very good PSUs. If I had to choose today, I'd get myself the Seasonic S12-380. It's got enough juice to power just about any decent system out there, but has rock solid stability, and is very quiet. :yes:

well how long has this been happening? what are ur video card temps? and are you overclocked at all?
