I might have to recommend staying away from EVGA cards at this point, as my 2nd 7800gt out of the two purchased just over a year ago has started to exhibit the exact same problem.

Started playing the Vanguard open beta today after a horribly long download/install lastnight.. (the download is 6.5gb, and the game to install takes around a mere 17gb..)

Playing the game with my lone 7800gt I started to get artifacting, I minimized the game and opened up the nvidia control panel only to see +100c temps again..

Getting a zalman cooler in a bit, hopefully it does the trick..
