hi guys , i bought my his r9 270 last week and im wondering if my graphics card is broken , because when i play farcry 3 theres a big glitch happened around, but that thing happens once and also on the game kingdoms of amalur reckoning but only once also , so what do you guys think? is my card broken ? or just a game error?

btw i have installed latest beta driver 14.4
 
Solution
S
Underclock checks if it is unstable at stock frequencies (Which can indicate overheating VRAM or bad GPU or VRAM)
The 13.12 drivers are usually pretty stable so if it doesn't work with those its probably hardware

Try it in a friends pc or back at the shop where you bought it. If they find its OK then you need to look for something else on your pc.

Can you post your build - make and model of every component and OS? We'll look over for anything weak.

has your card been getting hot? is it overclocked? Can you tell us what voltages your getting out of your power supply? - try HWMonitor if haven't got anything else. Post max and min readings for 5V, 3.3V and 12V

Writing it is good. Not one voltage is anywhere near where it should be. Don't use that power supply ever again. It'll do damage if it hasn't already

Voltages should be within 5% of nominal value eg 5v =/- 0.2v. Yours are nowhere near what they should be. Buy a good replacement eg Antec HCG 520M

It's just AMD's crap drivers. I have my second HIS R9 270 and this one has Hynix V-Ram, My first HIS R9 270 that I returned had Elpida V-Ram. And when I got my new one with the Hynix V-Ram I got the same stupid Artifacts in Mafia 2 with 14.6 beta, But using 14.4 in mafia 2 I get no artifacts. And also I get the same checkerboard looking things in far cry 3 while driving no matter what driver I use. AMD is just horrible with driver coding. And thanks to fanboys always defending legitimate problems with the drivers it never gets fixed.
