Hey,
My friend just purchased a new ATI Radeon 1650 Pro 512mb GFX card. Last week I went over and put it in and ran a couple tests and everything was grand. Last weekend he starting having this issue with his card. These little scratches that looked kinda like tearing would appear on his screen whenever he ran a 3d program. I of course checked the VSync and stuff and nothing seemed wrong with it. A few days later it got so bad that the game would lock up within about 20 seconds of getting into any game.
I then thought hey maybe the card is overheating or something. So I installed ATI tool and underclocked the card's memory. Its now running at about 600mhz core and 280 mhz memory.
Is the card bad? It shows video and such fine its just when it goes into the game that it is bad unless I specifically underclock the memory. Later this week I am going to try the card in my own pc to see if it runs right. Maybe the motherboard isnt compatible with the powerful card or something I dont know.
Any ideas would be appricated,
Ify
