If you get artifacting at any settings, regardless of how high settings you use, there is a problem with the card. Most likely the cooler is not mounted properly. You could remount it yourself or send it in for evga to do.

ive got the evga 7800gtx and i paid $509. ive got to say im not as impressed as i thought i would be. i havent run any tests. but with everything on medium 4x AA and at max resolution i get bad artifacting in BF2. i know its pretty high settings but from what ive heard i should be able to run that easily.

Yeah artifacting isnt caused by the card not being to keep up. Its cause by overheating/overclocking too much.
 
o ****. well the thing does run pretty hot, i was thinking a water cooling but i dont see a chip on it to mount the water block. i mean i could take off the heat sink thingy but i wouldnt know where the chip was on the card.
 
the prices on the higher end model (7800GTX 512MB 580Mhz core clock) continue to rise. a grand on ebay and that's the cheapest i've seen...

Your best bet would probably be to send it to evga for repair.
 
well i really would like to water cool it when i get back. so how would i go about fitting the water block on it?
