Is anyone able to offer a solution to this problem I've been having ever since I got my gfx card? Only in games I get flickering textures and games that shouldn't task my card much are pushing it to the limits and making it hit 70c+, my partner has an identical computer to mine and she has no problems what so ever... I was thinking it was dodgy VRam but now I'm not so sure, as everyone reporting the problem gets it on windows OS and most other windows, where as mine is JUST in game. I have MSI afterburner running on a user specific profile to try and keep the card cool while playing but it doesn't help for long as the fan can't keep up with the heat.

An example of some of the games I play with these issues are world of warcraft, diablo 3, league of legends, saint's row the third, tropico 4, simcity (2013), darksiders 2 and pretty much any game I play, the only game it doesn't happen in is minecraft.

If you're seeing high temps on non taxing games, it could possibly be a heatsink issue with bad thermal paste application or bad contact on the heatsink. Or as you suspect you could just have a faulty card.

Minecraft is CPU >>> GPU so that makes sense as it hardly taxes the GPU at all.

If you're not seeing the issue in non-demanding applications like Minecraft or Windows, but seeing it under more stressful situations that would crank the heat up a lot, it is entirely possible that could be your issue, especially if you're maxing out your fan speeds and it still isn't helping.
