7900gt crapping out NOW?

jcll2002 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-21-2006, 07:32 PM

Ive had my evga 7900gt co for 6 months now and no matter how many times i change my drivers, i still get "stuck pixels" all over my screen. Theyre essentially stuck pixels of either green or red, but they move around alot whenever i scroll or try to play games.

My temps are in the upper 20s to low 30s celcius (idle) so i know thats not the problem.

Is there a solution or do i have to RMA the card? If i do, is there a way i can be stepped up to a GTO, or GTX? Its just such an inconvenience that i think something should be done.

thanks.

also, if i do submit an RMA will i be without a graphics card or will evga just send me one and i send mine back (or something like that)?

Check this out, it might help, it might not. (At least it will inform you about your card)

I'd suggest getting your money back if possible, and then get the same card made by another company, one not listed as "bad" in the above article

Guess its RMA time...
