I have a amd 8350 with an hyper tx3 cooler, sapphire 280x toxic edition, 8gb ram, msi motherboard, bluray drive and a 530watt rosewill green series bronze certified power supply.
I have been experienceing some artifacts and screen jittering also some slow downs in games. Im only playing in 720p so i know the card can handle it even at very high settings. Is this because my PSU is underpowered for my setup or the card needs to be RMA? I have seen lots of people have issues with this card. thanks I need all the help I can get. Also when doing core temp after playing Games for a little while it says my temps shot up to 255c at some point. I know this cant be true because my system would mellt! So i am really thinking that the psu isnt giving enough power to my components while under heavy stress and making the cpu give bad temp readings and making the gpu not work properly. The game is Crysis 3 and i also have been playing darksiders 2 and it equally bad.

Yeah your GPU can use up to 300w, and if your CPU is overclocked it could use up to 200w. I do think your PSU is the issue. Just put your CPU at stock settings and undervolt it a little. Then I am sure it will be fine...

Okay I see. I was just goinf by the XFX webite and it said what i have should suffice. also i dont have anything overclocked. I prefer not to since this is my first full pc build and i just want a reliable machine to do some gamin, lots of video editing and general tasks. Do you think I can reuinon my GPU or already ruined it?

Would a corsair hx850 work? I can get for 75 dollars. Let me know if it will be good enough for my build. And thanks again for all your responses so far.

That corsair psu will do fine for your pc.

Do you use the latest drivers?

make sure you pick the drivers for the right windows version.

Have you underclocked the gpu,via ccc or msi afterburner or ...,to see if that maybe resolves the issues?

I found out that the issue was actually a motherboard. It could not supply enough wattage and throwing everything off. before i found this out though i bought all new eqipment. I went to a i7 4770k and asrock motherboard z87 and a 780 sc acx graphics card.
