Okay, heres my computer Specs
z68 extreme4 gen 3 motherboard
8 gigs RAM
I52500k cpu
GTX 770 or trying
1000 watt powersupply

So i had 2 550ti's in SLI and bought a MSI gtx 770 installed it seemed everything was ok till i started to try out games. It's not just 1 game it dose this its everyone i have tried (Black Gold Online, Rift, Eve,Batman Arkham City, Titanfall) here is a pic: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nr9m5s5qzpdjytx/GTX770%20Glitch.jpg
it dose this and just keeps making lines really quickly very annoying. I have flashed my Bios to the newest version.....other than the Beta one. I tried taking out all remnants of nvidia drivers to make a "clean install" and nothing has worked. Beginning to think i need to RMA it but was wondering if anyone might be able to point me in right direction to get fixed. Thanks for your time.

UPDATE: Here is a video of what is happening quality is not the best but you get the idea.

check your temps on the card and make sure there is no overclocking on the card apart from what it comes with. artifacting is usualy a sign of to high an overclock or the card overheating. also if you havent already done so remove the card and check the pcie slot is clean and free of dust. i have seen dust balls wedged in the slot causing similar problems and sometimes its as simple as re seating the card in the slot. the same thing can occur with a bad sli bridge but this is not the problem as you are on single card. if all this fails and card temps are normal then im afraid you may have a dud and need to rma it. if possible see if it will work in another pc

Just checked the Temp while running Rift and Black Gold online at the same time went as high as 44C then leveled out at 40C and my 550ti's ran hotter than that. Pretty sure its not dust i have moved this card to all of my PCIe slots to see if it was dead or not, and sprayed them out with can of dust, but will take the card out and do a more cleaning/look at it. Thanks for your reply

have you got msi afterburner installed if so check for over clock settings and even try lowering the card to reference clock settings and seeing if that fixes it. if your card can do reference clock speeds with out artifacting then the card has a problem with the factory overclock and you will need to rma it. reference speeds are 1046 MHz on gpu. you could always try gpu-z and check what your card is boosting to in game. this could be the problem as boost is causing it to go above safe clock speed of the card

I have the exact same card, and I have never seen anything like this, even at really high temps (80C with Furmark). If this has been happening in every game you play I would defiantly RMA it. I suggest you try Furmark stress test and see if you have any problems with it. This could also be due to ESD, were you careful when installing the graphics card?

We found out after, hours of hard work we came to the solution that we had to RMA it sadly. The product was damaged and every solution we looked for on the internet had failed.
