I bought my new GPU along with numerous other parts around 3 weeks ago now. And it's shown artifacts from time to time. It only happens in Bioshock : Infinite and Battlefield 4. I can restart and it can be fine.

What they sometimes look like in Bioshock - http://imgur.com/EoFiyeq,OpNqV06,SEAHqeQ,JyV6HrR

Any help appreciated. Thanks.
 
if you have overclocked the card remove the OC. You can stress test it to find out if there is an issue with the card itself. Use OCCT to test the GPU with error detection on. If it errors at stock settings then the card should be replaced.

I've not overclocked. I'm far too scared to do it, haha. I'm downloading OCCT now.

I don't know if it's also worth noting that nothing happens when I play LoL but I'm unsure if that's because LoL doesn't require much power.
