So I finally got around to getting the first Crysis game. After searching up for a few hours on how to get it to work on windows 8 I started the game up. I played it for around 5-10 minutes just fine (though the framerate was quite low) and then this started showing up on my screen.

PC Specs-
AMD A8-6500
AMD R7 250 1 GB GDDR5
8 GB RAM
Cheap HP 300 watt power supply

GPU Temps are normal gaming temps, around 70-80

Does anyone know what the problem is or how to fix it? Im running the Catalyst 14.6 drivers.

Thank you guys very much.

looks like it might be artifacts, which is hardware, you should play other graphics intensive games, or download a benchmark program like unigene valley , to see if it happens in other places too.
if it dosent, then you know its only crysis, software related.

my guess is that its just quite an "old" game, so theres problems with new gpus.

Well I used unigine valley on ultra for around 5 minutes and it didnt do anything so im gonna assume its software related. I also played BF4 and Far Cry 2 and 3 and nothing happened. Thanks.
