Good morning / afternoon / evening friends,
I bought a new video card recently (R7 xfx 260x 2 gb) and on their first test (BF 4 - with preset high) appeared some green dots on the screen (Artifacts)
Quickly researched and found the following possible problems:
- [strike]Overheating;[/strike]
- [strike]Drivers;[/strike]
-[strike] Adapter; [/strike]Tested the same adaptor in other video card... works fine.
- [strike]Weak power source;[/strike]
- Defective Hardware;
- Cables.
Isn't heating, since the maximum temp reached was 64.
Drivers are properly updated (clean install).
[strike]Adapter can be, but I think it unlikely (VGA to DVI adapter).[/strike]
Source is what I'm betting, I've a Dr. Hank 500 W and the required by this card is just the one i have, but from what I've been reading, the lack of energy would only increase the card's temperature. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Also i heard the cables has some kinda of incompatibility with some video cards?
What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance', if you need more specs just ask.
