Default 4870x2 Artifacts Problem.

Hi.

I bought the 4870X2 a few weeks ago and i thought all was going well, but everytime im playing a game (like Mass Effect now) while im walking or running i see like little spakle points in the screen appearing every 2 seconds. like if i was doing overclocking and im not.
The image doesnt deform, but it creates this little artifacts that makes me think something is wrong.

The card is with the stock settings and the temperatures of the cores are fine. I tried with drivers from Sapphire CD (8.52.6) and the officials 8.8.

Is it normal or i should contact the store??

Thank you.

There still the fastest single card in the world though

Just kidding, I would think the next drivers should fix a bunch of game issues.

i have been testing and my card is not faulty. the white dots in mass effect might be related to the engine and drivers because in 3dmark06 i have no problems.

i tested the new 8.9 betas (8.53) and i got this in 3dmark06 without any crash or white dots.

i hope this help for another buyers of the 4870X2....
