XFX 8600GT XXX Artifacting - Temp or PSU?

[asterasy]

Hello, how're we all doing today?
Recently I've been having artifacting and invisible textures/terrain while playing my games. I replaced my motherboard only a few days ago thinking that it could be the cause of the problem, but it turns out it wasn't.
The video card runs at 62-70 degrees(Celsius) on load, ~50 degrees (Celsius) on idle. The artifacting and invisible textures/terrain occurring even at 60-62 degrees. Are these temps normal for an 8600GT XXX? Or are they too high? I've tried opening the case to drop the temps, the issue still occurs.

The other reason I thought of that could be causing this issue is the PSU. The PSU hovers at 11.850v on the 12v rail at idle and drops down to 11.540v under heavy load. Could the PSU have destroyed my old motherboard aswell?

Please enlighten me with your wisdom ;), I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

I'd include a screenshot, but can't post links xD

Your temps are really ok, nothing overload. I would check somewhere else, or RMA the card.

I agree that your temps are fine. What driver versions have you tried so far? Is this problem in all games or just a specific one? It would be a good idea to start a support ticket at www.xfxforce.com and let me know the number.

Hey, thanks for the replies.
I'm currently using the 163.71 drivers, I was experiencing the same issues on multiple drivers.
I replaced my video card a while back and it didn't fix the issue, so I'm not sure what's going on.
I'll open a ticket when I get home from school and post the ticket# on here.
