I've tried every single possibility in the 3Dmark 2001 SE settings to try and solve my problems. The jerkiness, or hiccups, isn't really an issue since it only happens once in a while when the image is panning. The real annoying thing is the black pixels that appear. However, it seems that enabling 3X AA or higher makes them dissapear! What do you think? Is it a hardware problem? Is there some weird and obscure BIOS setting that I should be using with the Radeon?

The card that I received was a crappy OEM version clocked at 230/230. I tried all my tests with the card clocked at 190/190 and the annoying black pixels are still there. BTW, I can get the core up to 320 and mem to 250 without any other problems... And the artifacts that appear when the mem is clocked higher seem to be of a completely different nature.
