Hey all! Just wanted to run a quick question by you.
I am currently running 2 GTX 780s SLI (micro motherboard, cpu liquid cooled i5 3820) in an alienware aurora desktop.
Heres my issue i'm having. Starting about a month ago, I was playing battlefield 3 and I noticed that sometimes (maybe 25% of the time) when a map would load and I'd begin to play, the map's graphics would be whacked out. What do I mean? Well, anything that you would consider to be "Lighting" would be flashing like crazy. I know it sounds silly but if I were to go into a house or something, the graphics would be fine, but if i went outside, everything is flickering except the ground.
Now, I thought that it had to be an issue with battlefield 3 or my driver (only because, I don't have this issue with any other games). However, now I have the battlefield 4 beta (as well as the new beta driver), and in the conquest map, I have the same issue. The smoke is flashing like crazy along with a bunch of other things. It is very annoying and makes the unenjoyable.
I am petrified that it is my GPU because these are freaking $700.00 cards..... I use MSI afterburner which came with the card. Temp have never gone above 70C that I have seen.
Do you guys have any ideas as to what may be causing the issue? I bought 1 card off of ebay and 1 off of amazon. Does MSI generally replace these faulty cards if it were the card causing the issue? I only bought them about 3 months ago.
Thank you,
-Dan
