Yesterday while i was playing some DOD.
w my Parhelia,I got some strang bug in the graphics.. it even lasted when i quit the game, and went into windows desktop they remained.
But after reboot they where gone.

Pahelia Retail stock speed.


Anyone having the slightest idea what it could be.

thats definately memory artifacts caused my the memory overheating, you get them all the time if you overclock too far. As your parhelia is running stock then its probably because youve got a fair bit of dust on your card, and so blow it off with compressed air or because your case temperatures are quite high and thus the chips have not got sufficient cooling. If neiither of these is true then you should probably RMA your card.

I didn't know you needed a DUCK to play that game.
How do you hook it up to the computer (is it a USB Duck?)

seriously, though, it could be as Borat said, check the fan on the P, make sure it still works, and if possible try to keep the slot next to it open, for better airflow.

Those look more like drawing engine artifacts from the GPU than memory artifacts. Definately check the fan.

Because it floats (like wood and witches)
