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.
