Hi everyone.
I recently bought the Gigabyte 480 SOC (
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3620#ov) however I am experiencing problems with the card. I tested the factory overclock for stability but it doesn't seem to be stable. I get thousands of errors using OCCT 3.1.0 and have also tried the latest beta, but I still get errors. (56284 errors in 120 seconds)
Running Heaven 2.5 I get multiple artifacts and tears appearing.
Crysis running in DX9 with custom 'Very High' config I get artifacts.
Metro 2033 demo running in DX9, maxed out, I get black flashes now and then.
MSI Kombustor, again I get multiple artifacts.
I have the latest drivers and the old drivers have been completely removed. It was suggested that the PSU may not have been enough for the card and I have bought a brand new Corsair HX750 which I cannot fault as it's a quality unit. This hasn't sorted the problems.
My stock voltage for the card is 1050mV and have gone as high as 1075mV but it still artifacts. If I run the card at factory 480 settings I don't get any errors. I feel that the card is therefore an unstable OC.
Here are some recordings I have made:(Settings used are in the description)

I would like to hear your thoughts on this.
