    Hello,

    I read a lot of threads on this forum before attempting to post.

    I recently purchased a WF3 gigabyte 7950, the first day was fine, however on the second day while i was playing battlefield 3 it started to show up weird artifacts.

    Tried with other drivers, I was using 13.1, switched to 13.2, 13.3 (almost all the betas on both) even reverted to 12.11 and 12.10 (finally reverted to 13.2 beta 4). Running drive sweeper and rebooted before every driver installation.

    Funny thing is that my new card is running Bios FX0, so i cannot update it to FZ3, and it has 1000mhz stock. the artifacts shows on the catalyst screen and in some games, some other are ok, even when i attempt to run a couple of emulators (pcsx and dolphin), there are no graphical issues.

    I attached some screenshots from GPU-Z and artifacts.

    Should I RMA it or there might be another solution?

    Thanks in advance

    Faulty VRAM/core for sure. Try backing down the clocks and see if it goes away. Regardless, looks like an RMA is in your future.

    Afterburner but looks like bad vram so I'd just go ahead and RMA.

    on battlefield 3 with everything on ultra temps dont go higher than 70-72

    voltages, i dont know where to find that, afterburnber doesnt show, i think because of bios FX0, but i could be wrong
