I sent my GF4 Ti4600 back to the manufacturer to be repaired or replaced, etc. It was showing some artifacts when cranking up the res. It turned out the video card was at fault. They sent me a refurbished card the next week. I tried it and while booting saw artifacts in the boot screen. Then I get into WinXP and then it gave an error saying Windows has detected and recovered from a hardware failure, please reboot. It changed the screen to 16 color 640X480. It's a bad video card again. Guess I'm one of those lucky people that just keeps getting bad hardware. So I'm sending the card back AGAIN. I put a nice little note in the box telling them I want a new video card, not that refurbished junk. I never trusted repaired electronics.
By the way I know the card is bad and it's not my mobo because I tested another card in my system and it worked fine and I gave this card to someone else and they were having the same problems I was having with it.
Thought I share that with everyone. Anyone else have a similar experience?
