Ok heres the deal. last time i posted that my card 6800gt was dying. it went to 100 degrees cuz the damn fan didnt work. this is the leadtek 6800gt beefy as elemental dragon would call it heat sink. Yeap 100 degrees, so what i did was tell leadtek bout it, they say to go send it back to the shop i bought it from (Malaysia) but i am currently in Australia and god knows where i put the receipt for the damn thing. ANyways, i told them i aint sending it to malaaysia and will just buy a replacement (zalman GPU cooler) duno which model but if u want i can dig it up, and replaced it. This was 5 months ago. everything aok.
Recently, things begin to look funny. artifacts would show up even during videos or even the damn mp3 visualisations. yea thats pretty F*%#. So i set everything back to normal speed (was 400/1100 back to 350/1000). It still happend. Now, i set it to a measily 330/930 thats pretty crap IMO. and even lowered the hardware acceleartion put a new coat of artic silver 3. AND IT STILL IS DOING DAMN ARTIFACTSS!!!. ill give you pictures if you guys want to see. Its not much but enough to annoy me. But when i play a game say warcraft, it will freeze completely after a while.
So back i am to Leadtek, and i say ok, 5 months ago my card was F*#@ed and is ok. But 5 months down the road, due to the damaged it had then, my card is now even worse. And yet again they tell me to send it back to malaysia.
My question is, what do they need for a RMA? Its more then 1 year old, bout 1year 6 months so can i still have warranty? can i have it since i opend the heatsink? Can someone tell me where leadtek's office is cuz i want to throw them a paperweight that will soon be from my graphics card.
p.s. oh note, i just formated my pc and installed the latest nvidia drivers to see if its my comp. :/ its not....
