davorin Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Hello.. Someone experienced the same using a X1600 PCIe card with 10.4.8 and the NATIT driver? When using for example GoogleEarth or an OpenGL game I see in the upper and lower part of the screen green/pink artifacts which lead to a system freeze... cheers davorin Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44728-green-artifacts-and-freeze-with-x1600/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
davorin Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 Tried now the same hardware with a dual-boot and latest 10.4.9 install... Under Windows the X1600 card works perfectly but still shows artifacts and freezes the whole system when using OpenGL. OpenGL games under Windows are just fine (o; This freezes happen with both old X1600 driver as with new Natit combined installer... So..have to throw away my x1600 card and put in a nVidia 7x00 card? cheers davorin Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44728-green-artifacts-and-freeze-with-x1600/#findComment-377581 Share on other sites More sharing options...

U.C. Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 If you run really Graphic intensive stuff in Windows, does it happen?? Try running 3DMark for a couple of hours non stop with max settings, if you get those artifacts then I think your card's VRAM is overheating. Used to happen to my old card. Try cleaning the fans, and maybe reduce case temperature.
