This is possibly because I have not had the extra power connector plugged into my graphics card since I first got it ~4 months ago (It was a replacement card and didn't come with one)

What's the usual story with Warranty's? If the replacement card breaks, can you get that replaced outside of the original warranty period?

Posting these in case you guys know anything not graphics card related that could cause it, like drivers etc?

EDIT: And it's not like this all the time, happens a few times during a session and spinning my character around will usually solve it, if not going to a different area or relogging does the trick.

EDIT: EDIT: What do you think they look like? First one is SSJ Dominika firing eye lasers. Third one is because I gouged my eyes upon zoning back into Molten Core.

Some pretty major artifacting going on there JC, it seems to me like heat could be a cause of that or your video ram is becoming corrupted..

might help to connect up that second power connector if possible see if that does help anything

And if the replacement card breaks then they have to replace it aswell.. atleast thats what the case was with a motherboard that i got

Problem is that it didn't actually come with the connector (the one that plugs into the little 6 pin port on the graphics card and into a molex connector). I asked them how I could go about getting one and they didn't know. And I couldn't find them on dse.co.nz. Thoughts?

Is it a cable like 6pin PCI Express Power Cable (SKU: CB-6PCIE) on this site?

Lol alliance

I've had artifacts similar to that last image which were caused by heat

I have one of those connectors that I'm not using because I switched graphics cards. It's 2x 4pin 5v connectors (Those ones for IDE drives) to a 6pin one. If it works with your card, and if you have the 2 spare 4pin power connectors, you can have it. It's basically just taking up space in my motherboard box, which is hard to close as it is.

What graphics card is it, and how powerfull is the PSU?

I barely look at them. I used Bongos and XPerl for a long time, lost them in some patch (3.0?) and never bothered to update them once they were released for that particular patch. The only thing I miss from the both of them is range finding in XPerl but that reduced my frame rate significantly and since I don't play a class with any buffs or heals any more it's not really necessary. I use MalygosCP to see debuff durations on Malygos, because XPerl wasn't able to display the debuff properly either. The only thing I really need is DBM. ItemRack is occasionally handy and AtlasLoot is convenient but not really required.


The card is nVidia 7900GT, PSU is 400W (running 2x HDD, 2x CD/DVD, not much else).

And Nav, yes I believe that power connector is the one... At $12 I may as well order it and plug it in. Even if that's not what is causing this issue it's probably better for the long term health of the card.
