I bought a new Gforce A7600GT to upgrade my Radeon 9800 pro, and be able to play with the premium content.
This is the card I bought.
I reinstalled XP entirely including all updates, sp2, and DirectX 9.0c, and also bought 2 x 1Go Ram to boost the system.
I tried all the possible drivers from the latest 163.75 to the official provided with my Video Card, and even tried old supposedly stable drivers like 93.71
When I start my computer and launch a game, it seem ok for 2-3mn then this is what happen:
Horrible results I get with ANY drivers in EVERY game, not only EVE.
inspace1 inspace2 inspace3 inspace4 inspace5 inspace6 inspace7
station1 station2
Im monitoring the temperature of the card and its stable in EvE premium around 61¦c, in Lineage II around 51¦. the temperature doesnt increase, its allways the same so I dont think its an overheat problem since I get the same gfx problem in EvE or L2 and the temperature is very different from one to the other.
I went back to the shop, explained the problem, and they gave me a new card, same exact model. I STILL get same problem.
I switched for my old 2 x 512 mo Ram that I had just to make sure its not the new 2 x 1Go that were corrupted, and its not that...
Im lost... Next step is to change the card to a different model but it's pretty much the best card I can get for that price in AGP slot. Help please !

Is this a defaultly overclocked card by any chance? If so, bring it back, trade it for a new one...
They look like graphical artifacts caused by overheating / overcloaking to me...
He explained he already exchanged it.

This is a memory issue - probably ( 99% sure ) GFX cards needs to be replaced. If its new its under warranty.
Issues like this happend when you OC GFX memory.

I have a 7600 GS and I run two clients on two monitors using Evelauncher. Since the update I notice some stop & go using the expanded graphics package but it still all runs.
As the others say you got a bunk card. 1 out of 3 video cards are returned within 6 months.
Im now trying to learn how to better set up my cards to run the new graphics without the hiccups. (a 1-2 second pause before it catches up). You have any ideas since you share the same card?
Peace,

Hi,
thanks for the answers and for taking a bit of your time to look at my issue..
As I said the 1st card was brand new and it had that problem from the beginning, It was never overclocked as someone wondered, I even tried to underclock the default frequency of the GPU and the video Ram.
So I exchanged it for the exact same one, brand new, opened the box myself, same problem...
Anyway... During the week-end I updated every single driver possible for all my computer components (Ethernet adapter, IDE UDMA Controller, Sound Card, PCI Bridge, AGP Port, etc...) but it didnt solve the problem...
My last option was to flash my Bios with latest technologies, im waiting for an email from Award Technologies on monday with the new Bios update (cost me 30$ -.-V ) I hope it will solve it but im not too confident tbh...
I can imagine one card being corrupted, but two in a row seem very unlucky...
So ill change the card again if the new Bios doesnt fix it... but for another model this time.
I was wondering if the power supply could be the problem but the card needs a 300W one, and mine is 400W so im almost positive it's not the origin of the problem.
Anyway if anyone got more ideas, you're welcome to join me and catch my nervous breakdown
