Hi All,

I am getting a weird error with my GCard, I've had it for 4 months and get this every now and then.

Video Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCnj9lVUcqM

I also get what I thoguth was screen tearing but basically everything goes into block colours and loses textures (since sorting recording to show the error I haven't yet been able to capture it).

At first I thought it was a driver issues but no driver updates seem to have resolved this.

Should I RMA the car?

Thanks in advance,

Forgot in case anyone asks:

Processor: AMD 8320
Ram: 8GB (Value Ram)
GPU: R9 280x Toxic
PSU: Corsair 750w Bronze

Artifacting can be caused by an unstable memory clock. Try using a program like MSI Afterburner to reduce your memory clock by 25mhz.

Thanks for your solution pyr0_m4n. Although I may have to RMA the card, underclocking by 25mhz does the trick :D  Still better than stock though so maybe not!
