Hi guys,

Just tested this card I bought some weeks ago...
Have you ever seen this kind of issue ? I checked the PCB but can't see any issue / scratches.
Any advice welcome, otherwise it will go the the bin 🙁

Most likely ram corruption, probably one of the ram chips has gone bad.
BTW, are you running the card without a heatsink?

Nope, just removed it to take the picture.
Yeah I'm also thinking about Ram corruption 🙁

I agree with aaronkatrini. Looks like bad ram.
