It's happened a couple times, probably 6 times in the past month and a half.

Rig Build:

Case - NZXT Phantom 530 Red ATX Full Tower (7 fans no overheating at all)
Motherboard - ASUS Maximus VII Hero Z97
CPU - Intel i5-4690K 3.5 GHz
Video Card - MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB
RAM - G.Skill Value Series 4GB x 4
Power Supply - Corsair 600W ATX12V
Storage - Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM

Now the glitch is in this video. I tried trimming it down but it just degraded quality.Here is the link so it starts off at the correct time (6:00 in): https://youtu.be/pdeH1UvNE5A?t=5m58s

What is going on here? The system is not overclocked at all.

Hi Raxor,

This seems like a textures not loading problem. I had this in BF4 when I overclocked my card beyond that it could handle but only on certain maps.

I gather that you are not overclocking but if the graphics card not dissipating heat correctly then even without overclocking it could do this. You could underclock your card by a few hundred MHz and see if the problem persists. If it does not then your card is overheating internally and you should RMA it.

Another possibility that the graphics card memory is faulty. You can test the memory (http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/video_memory_stress_test.html)

Also you could take your card and put it in a friend's PC and test whether it is another component that's causing this...

Good luck finding the issue,

PS: this issue could also a driver issue or the game having incompatibility issues with the specific version of the drivers.
