OK, I just received my 280x and I am already having problems.
I removed my Nvidia drivers using DDU 9.6 from safe mode. shut the computer down, installed the new card and then installed the latest AMD beta driver.
Right off the bat, I am get artifacts on the windows desktop.
I then used DDU and ATIMan to remove the beta driver in safe mode and then installed the latest whql driver. Still the same problems.
I ran FurMark and temps never got over 70c. I then fired up OCCT and enabled error checking. This is what I got:
At this time, I decided to to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on an extra hard drive. Same results.
So, I'm guessing that I got a DOA card. Should I send it back, or is there something else I should be doing? This is the first ATI/AMD card I have owned in 10 years and so far it has not been a great experience. Thanks for any help!
