well i just got a new BFG 7800GT OC and its artifacting right out of the box... i installed this for the 1st time along with a brand new A8N SLI mobo and a new AMD 64 x2 4200+...i cannot read the screen to set up my new mobo their for i cannot find out the temp of the card... i looked in my PC while it was on and all the fans seem to be running strong.. i think its just a defect and the card needs to be replaced... can i get some input on this from the more experienced guys ?
