I'm no expert on AMD cpu's but I think it is possible that it is bottlenecking. Don't take my word on that. The card should run those games on ultra easy. What resolution/size monitor are you using?

The OP is talking about artifacts and crashes, not that he has any trouble running games. If anything he either has a bad card or a driver install got corrupted.

OP please go to this thread and click on the link to the submission form provided there and fill it out.

i fixed mine by slightly underclocking the card and trying different power rails. Try it and see if it runs stable for you. If it does then that i think will mean the drivers and card is ok. For me it ended up being a wonky power rail on a low grade PSU.

how slightly did you underclock, and does it affect the game? I should Switch cables?

The newest should be 14.4.

With beta 14.7.



What psu are you running in your system?

go down to 800 on the core clock and about 1000 on the memory if your using MSI afterburner, that should do it.

Ok, let`s start a refresh here and do this step by step.

1. Uninstall AMD drivers using DDU. (search in the inernet)
2. Run DDU in safe mode.
3. Uninstall your GPU in the device manager.
4. Run CC cleaner to clean files.
5. Run CC cleaner to fix registry.
6. Reinstall AMD drivers (14.4 or 14.7 beta)

Installing Catalyst (AMD) drivers multiple times is not good.

Post if you still have problems.

my computer crashed hard yesterday. i mean hard. so bad, that i had to wipe both drives in cmd and reinstall windows and redownload everything. (thank god for steam and origin cloud) But so far things have been running ok on regular cloccked settings with the fans turned up to 80-90%. i will come back to this option if i encounter another problem. (unfortunately titanfall has been downloading since 3 and is still downloading lol)

Bad OC.
System Registry conflict.

That might be the cause.

Ow, I apologize for inconvenience. So right now you have successfully installed GPU and run your games but you still experiencing artifacts?

Did you OC`ed your GPU or not? If you OC`ed and experiencing artifacts bump your voltage a little more and then run Unengine Valley to check for stability.

try what i did, here i will give you the link too: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/amd-catalyst-14-4-w...

Download just the driver, absolutely nothing else. no control nothing. Control center made mine buggy and crash just like yours, but black screen crash requiring hard reboot.

Have you tried this? If not do so, also this driver here was stable for me as well: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/amd-catalyst-13-12-...

Let me know if this helps at all.
