Is my Radeon 9700pro defective
I purchased a BBA Radeon 9700pro a few days ago. Installed it into an Asus A7V133 rev 1.05 using WinXP with no problems. Loaded the drivers (latest Catalyst from ATI website) and everything was fine. The 2d image quality was fantastic on an lcd monitor using dvi. I loaded the latest Via 4-in-1 drivers and tried out 3dmark05.
I noticed some parts of 3dmark05 were fine while another part resulted in some screen artifacts (tearing of the image, odd flashes of colour on the screen). I tried Return To Castle Wolfenstein (old, but it was the only "3d" game I had on hand) and it was fine. I'm not sure if the card is defective or not. Any ideas ?
I'm not too concerned since I didn't pay a lot for it.
Any info would be great.
Thanks.
