Problem with Ragtroll.artifacts or what is this?t?

Hey.My spec: CONNECT3d X800gto@16 pipelines and OC 560\1120 (R423),
ATHLON 64 3000+ @ 2,6ghz, MODECOM 350 GTF-power supply, 1 gb ram KINGMAX 400, GA-K8NF-9 mainboard.
Problem is with RAGTROLL test , in 3dmark 03. I have some strange lines (maybe black , maybe yellow) in moment, when the orcs are falling down. I was clocking back the card to default(pipelines too default) 400\980 and i have the same problem.
CPU too i was turning back to default.
I have this strange lines, not always , but have.
Changing the drivers and the same problem. BUt when i play all the "power" games (like: Quake4,FEAR,NFS MW,FAR CRY on max, DOOM3, HALF LIFE2) i dont have any artifacts. I play just without artifacts. MOther NATURE without artifacts too.
But why with ragtroll is not good? Why only this test artifacting(when the orcs are falling down, then i have this strange lines,but not always.)
Maybe the problem is only because this is buggy test, but i dont think so.

Changing drivers not help((((((

Please help me.MAybe somebody know something about this.

try dropping the core temp on your card 560 on the core is a touch high for a R423 core IMHO unless you have quality cooling. If that does not help and reverting to 12 pipelines does not help then you may have a faulty card. Does it happen in other apps or just in 3DMark

ONly RAGTROLL is with artifacts i guess. GAME are without artifacts ,and other 3dmark tests. Strange....... and on default clocks

I would also back off on the system overclock and once you have things all default, try adjusting different things one at a time. I might even go as far as pulling all components other than video out of the machine and try that. If possible get access to a different PSU as well if you have that option
