Hi, haven't been here in a while! forums are looking great
I have been thinking about this for a while. Okay I have built 5 different PCs for myself, 4 or 5 for other people. The problem I always have pertains specifically to World of Warcraft, and very few other games.
Every system I've had has been windows XP or 7. I have had a Geforce 6800 GTX, 7600 GTX SLi, i've gone through three 7600GTX cards in total, and at the moment i am using a 7900 GTX. I have 2 of them. One is in the computer, one is not. When i got the 2 video cards i have currently, they were brand new.
My problem is, with every build i've ever had, I have experienced horrible graphic problems. Every card i've ever used has eventually had to be replaced because of excessive screen tearing or pixel stretching. I have worked and worked to keep temps down, and the card temps ALWAYS are between 35 Celsius and 50 Celsius. I always keep dust away and I am very good about airflow. BTW I have used both of the 7900GTX cards i have until these glitches started happening. now both are busted. took about 4-5 months each card. very frustrated.
The only place that these graphic glitches occur normally, (and unfortunately one of my favorite things to do on the computer), is in WoW. I have seen other games have the same issue but nowhere close to as bad as wow. I think the only other game i've really noticed it in is F.E.A.R.
any help is greatly appreciated.
btw the other specs for my current build:
WinXP
AMD PhenomII X4 940
Asus M3A76-CM Mobo
4GB G-Skill DDR2-800 ram
