Hi All,

Ive had a long standing artifacting problem (Fluro jagged objects from middle of screen & fluro over textures) when playing certain games. It seems that games running DX9 will artefact and crash frequently but DX11 games run fine. I only just worked this out when running the Unigine Valley benchmark on both DX11&9. In this and the OCCT gpu testing DX9 also had significantly lower framerates.
I'm not sure what all this means and Im worried that because this problem has survived multiple OS re-installs both win8.1 & 7 (64bit). This problem is especially prevalent on CS:GO which tends to crash to a sound loop and eventual black screen (sometimes with a driver crash message) which can result in the game failing to re-launch until a restart of the PC.

Any suggestions on what to try would be great
