So I was playing crysis and i noticed a video card artifact...

Awesom3Gamer · Jul 21, 2013

I was playing Crysis on high settings on my great gaming rig, and for some odd reason after I got dropped into the water in the beginning, when I crouched, a brief video artifact popped up. All my CPU and GPU temps are normal - should I worry?

What is your system specs? Are you overclocked?

Awesom3Gamer · Jul 21, 2013

ur6beersaway :

No. I tried it once with my other card and I had to RMA it because it burnt out. I have 1 (used to be 2) 7950s, Win8 Basic, 16GB RAM, i5-3570k, 1000watt PSU, 1TB HDD, and ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Mobo

13.6 beta 2 driver? http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst13-6WINBetaDriver.aspx

Awesom3Gamer · Jul 21, 2013

ur6beersaway :

Yes. Is there a problem between AMD driver 13.6Beta2 and Crysis?

ur6beersaway · Jul 21, 2013

not at all it says 10% gain.

ur6beersaway :

... strange. It still worries me... I had one of my graphics cards crap out.... so this is really scaring me. I fixed the coil whine that happened in the menus , but to see this continue is weird. Not to mention my fans flare up every 10 or so mins. I just got this rig in march...

Is choosing high settings new? is v-sync off? try the game again and see if it acts up. Are you running luicid virtu MVP or razor game booster?

Awesom3Gamer · Jul 21, 2013

ur6beersaway :

1. No, it auto-chose high
2. vSync is on
3. Nope and nope.
4. I will try the game again in a sec... i don't have any artifacts in any other games, even games on Very High that are resource-intensive

Can you check the card for dust?

Awesom3Gamer · Jul 21, 2013

ur6beersaway :

From both the top and bottom there is no dust. My airflow is a bit cramped yet my temps are in the high 60c range when gaming - only flaring up to max 74 on rare occasions. I use MSI afterburner.
I'll check if the card is properly placed in.

ur6beersaway · Jul 21, 2013

Test it out see if is the card or the game= http://www.ocbase.com/index.php/40-occt-pt-4-4-0-available

Awesom3Gamer · Jul 21, 2013

ur6beersaway :

Waaaait.. So this is like Prime95. You can call me a noob, but what do i do once its finished downloading

Awesom3Gamer · Jul 21, 2013

ur6beersaway :

How long should I run the GPU test for?

Awesom3Gamer · Jul 21, 2013

Going to sleep. Will start OCCT tomorrow.

ur6beersaway · Jul 21, 2013

Awesom3Gamer :

10 min.

Awesom3Gamer · Jul 21, 2013

ur6beersaway :

Awesom3Gamer :

10 min.

And the other?s (thanks btw)

ur6beersaway · Jul 21, 2013

If you want to test other stuff, go ahead. If the (3d gpu) card runs good on occt, your good to go. maybe a game conflict at a certain point.

Awesom3Gamer · Jul 22, 2013

ur6beersaway :

Ok. Will try.

Awesom3Gamer · Jul 22, 2013

ur6beersaway :

Ran with and without error check mode. All temps are normal... Want graphs?

Awesom3Gamer · Jul 22, 2013

ur6beersaway :

Any Probs? I uploaded OCCT 3D-GPU test results to Mediafire.
ALL HAIL THE DONUT HOLE!
