What's up guys, Ive posted my issue before but was wondering if someone could add another suggestion.

i purchased a evga gtx 770 in november 2 months in to using it I experienced artifacts in games. I tried wiping clean the display drivers using driver sweeper, but it did not work. I've done a test with the EVGA tools and the card did not over heat or give me errors. I was wondering if there was a corruption in the direct x 11 files or just some corrupt drivers that did not get fixed.

Should I reinstall windows and see if that works? A friend of mine said that maybe it was my mother board that is not compatible with a newer card. I don't think this is the case since my card was working perfectly for 2 months before the issue occured. Any help will be appreciated thanks!

Below are my system specs.

OS - windows 7
CPU - i5 2500k
GPU - evga gtx 770 super clocked
memory - 8gb ripjaws

If you used another GPU before this 770 completely remove from your PC using control panel ---> programs and features verify all old are clean. Then install/update your 770's driver.

ive done a clean install using the nvidia installer, and ive used driver sweeper which had detected my old gtx 560 ti drivers and removed them. there is a list of microsoft redistributable files, I know they are normally installed when you install a new game, do you think one could be corrupt?
