Re: Weird Pixel Blocks

call scan customer service and talk to them about it they might do an RMA which means you would get a replacement card.

Re: Weird Pixel Blocks

As long as you have a legit cd-key, where you get the data doesn't matter

Re: Weird Pixel Blocks

Formatted PC so it was totally clear of Nvidia Display Drivers, but i still get pixelated blocks ingame (Not alot in CoD4, but alot in F.E.A.R 2 & Lost Planed EC)

so ill phone/go to scan on monday, hopefully get a replacement / let them test it :)

Thanks again for your help and advice :salute:

Re: Weird Pixel Blocks

Those blocks usually appear due to a corrupt memory module on the card itself, or a memory module overheating due to bad contact with the heatsink on the card itself. Once it starts doing it, it will not stop and you will either have to RMA the card, or live with it. One of my 8800GT's had the same issue, I tried every fix in the book, when I RMA'd the card, the problem went away with the replacement.

It stands for Return Materials Authorization (or Return Merchandise Authorization). It is the business term used for when you send something in for replacement.

Glad to hear it is all working for you.
