I was playing bioshock and started noticing artifacts popping up and thought it might be the driver or something so I decided to take the card out and see whats up, Nothing stood out from the ordinary so I took a can of whoopass compressed air to it, and wow like freakin radioactive cloud of dust bunnies filled the room, plugged it back in and tried bioshock again and good improvement in fps and no artifacts.

Everyone should set a video card/comp cleaning day, it goes a long way in getting the most life out of your comp and cards.:tongue_smilie:

Well anyway when cleaning, use an antistatic wrist strap and don't put a metal vacuum anywhere near your PC. I did it once when I was younger and it was a dust magnetic after a few moments.:ohmy:
