If you properly removed all drivers with the 6600gt still connected to the mobo and installed the 6800gs with the newest drivers, you can rule out the driver issue. The xClio is a good PSU, should be able to handle that vidoe card. Especially since that psu has dual 12 V rails. If you are getting artifacts, I would say return that card. It shouldn't be on your sides if drivers were properly installed.

The X850XT is more powerful card than a 66800GS, but it isn't a HUGE difference.

If it works fine for him the problem is on your side, if it artifacts for him you've gotten your 3rd dud.

I don't know if this'll make a difference, but wipe all your drivers with the 6600GT in, then run a Driver Cleaner. Reboot/Shut down. Insert new card, and install new Forceware. Reboot.
