Upgraded to 7900GT, two wierd color dots on screen! Help!

[palejackal]

So, I upgraded to a Leadtek 7900GT.

When starting up the computer and on the main wallpaper, there are a couple curiously colored dots on the screen. Not a big deal except when I move a webpage browser around... the two dots leave a trail of other dots. So I can make lines of oddly-colored dots by moving my browser window around.

Furthermore, when playing Oblivion, there's some wierd pink/green/whatever colors that show up... like "seams" in the world.

If I put in my old EVGA 7600GT, I don't have this problem.

This 7900GT was an open box product from NewEgg, but I'm really hoping it's not defective... I *am* using the same drivers for both products, but I'm supposed to, right?

Specifically I'm using the 93.71 Forceware drivers.

Right now I'm downloading the 93.81 drivers from the Leadtek site... and really hoping that I was just a moron with the wrong drivers.

Thanks for any help...

Unfortunately, upgrading to the 93.81 drivers provide no relief.

As long as the driver supports both cards, it's not a problem. To me, it looks like it is defective, so you have an option: send it back to Newegg and get a replacement while their warranty is still good, or look to deal with Leadtek.

Yeah, it is looking like a card problem, at least according to other similar problems on the 'net. Thanks.
