Overclocking, high temperature?

[angel-TDw!]

no bro...

no overclocking,,,and neither over heating....

some games work perfect..... and in some (suffering, pop-sand, and 1 or 2 more) the direct x gets corrupted... while playin the game,,, and that 2 not 4 long,,it gets corrupted within 5-8 min....

thanx

Perhaps, some of these games don't stress the GPU that much. I insist that you get a system info software and make it display the GPU temperature all the time. (E.g. Lavalys Everest can be configured to display it in the system tray.) When the game gets weird, exit it right away and see the GPU temperature: over 60-70 degrees Celsius (it depends) is not good.

Possibly the graphic card has a fault, would be my first suspect.

The Gforce 5xxxx series always had problems with DX....
