Problems with Sapphire X800gt PCI-E
Purchased a Sapphire X800GT PCI-E 256mb card in October 05. At first no problem with gaming, then after a couple of weeks began to get texture corruption, multicoloured textures, and some 3d models spiking off in weird directions when playing 3d games ie CoD2 Multiplayer. Drivers updated still had same problem. Has anybody else seen this and any ideas suggestions?
M/board Gigabyte GA-K8N PRO SLI AMD 64 . 1gb mem sata hdd. Regards |

What powersupply are you using? Perhaps it doesn't have enough juice to power that card properly.

Sapphire X800GT
Thanks for replies..will try relevant AMD drivers.
The power supply is 450 watts, so it should be enough. Looking on other forums, it seems as though others are getting the same problems..okay in normal processing but not in 3d.... Onwards and upwards Regards |

I had a similar problem with as your situation. When I was running my laptop GPU, I had overclocked it a little bit, and it was really hot, creating spikes. With your card, I think the GPU isn't getting enough cooling, but that's me. Try different graphics settings in the Display properties properties and see if anything changes.
