Hi,
I recently built my first PC, and I just wanted to get a little advice on my GPU. I ended up going for the Asus Radeon 280x, because the shop (where I was going to get the GeForce 760 from) had a crazy one day sale on some AMD stuff, so it worked out cheaper to the get the superior card in the end.
So far the system is running great, I've been playing taxing games in high settings no problem, except for one thing. In Skyrim, on Ultra settings, I noticed some weird horizontal lines on textures like cobwebs and wet floor, but not on things like stone - when I lowered the settings to High, everything was fine. Any ideas what this could be?
Could it be my GPU, my power supply, maybe my monitor or cables (only using DVI atm, not HDMI, and it's a fairly old monitor).
My rig atm is:
AMD FX-6350 CPU
Asus Radeon R9 280X
Asus M5A78L-M Motherboard
2x DVD drives
2x HDD's
Samsung SSD
TP-Link Network Card
2x Antec Case Fans
Antec P-100 Case
Antec Neo Eco 620c PSU
Also, out of interest, what are normal, okay temperatures for a GPU to run at? Mine is normally 30C-35C just on the web, word processing etc, and goes up to about 60C while gaming - is that normal and okay for the health of the card?
Cheers for any advice - much appreciated,
Tom
