I'm not convinced our video card problems are unrelated. One of my 6950s has the exact same symptoms as your XFX. It runs many older games without a hitch, but in some newer games or benches it starts with massive amounts of artifacts that disappear over the course of thirty seconds to a minute...

Just got mine this afternoon and so far I'm very pleased. It scales to 1280x1024 great and is easier on the eyes than my CRT. Gaming is decent, not as good as my CRT but close. I'll probably use it for singleplayer games because I love the definition and when playing "competitively" online I'll...
