Passmark Preformance test Julia fractals artifact on ASUS R7-250 (Help) video included.

herrmant · Jun 19, 2015

I ran the Passmark performance test to see how well my system compares to others and I was greeted with a lovely display issue while running a test full screen with elision set at 0.05. This does not occur in Windowed mode, only in full screen. The card runs all my games perfectly (MW3, BF2, FSX, and Dirt 3) with no artifacts or tearing. I have had a problem with flickering on dark backrounds but I switched to hdmi to dvi and it has been fine.

Any help is really appreciated and I thank you in advance. Here is the link to what happens.

is it overclocked? I will not be able to see the video for a few hours where I am.

herrmant · Jun 19, 2015

The card is not overclocked and the temps are good... about 65-67 under load.

Robert Cook · Jun 20, 2015

what is your powersupply? and rest of the system? this could be a power shortage.

herrmant · Jun 20, 2015

I have a 450w psu by antec, so not the greatest. But I have 2 modems, 2 wifi routers a monitor and my computer connected to the same surge suppressor and I have noticed my light dims when I put my pc under load, again, the light is connected to the same power strip. I am going to try and move my pc to another outlet. I have a AMD A8 3870K cpu non oc'ed, a MSI a55m-p33 mb, a Seagate 1 tb drive (brand new).

Robert Cook · Jun 20, 2015

^ yes outlets are often the cause when the power supply is not.

herrmant · Jun 20, 2015

Still does it on another outlet...

herrmant · Jun 20, 2015

It seems to only happen on that program only, I run all my games max settings at 60-90 fps @67*C with no problems like that.

herrmant · Jun 20, 2015

I'm pretty convinced that there is a problem with the outlets in that one room because my load temps are much much cooler with the same ambient temp in another room which uses another breaker. My load temps are less than 55 now.

Robert Cook · Jun 21, 2015

^ yeah I was going to say check the circuit breaker to make sure you are on a different circuit. but you have wisely done so yourself.

herrmant · Jun 21, 2015

I actually moved the comp back on that room but plugged it into a different surge suppressor into a different outlet...got to be that circuit breaker. One more question...could under powering a card cause it to run hotter, and do you think my card is damaged?

Robert Cook · Jun 21, 2015

It could, as it could be getting an unstable power supply, which also would be causing artifacts. I would not think that it is damaged , the best way is to make sure it is on a different circuit and see if it still artifacts.

herrmant · Jun 21, 2015

It still Is giving the same artifacts even when connected to another circuit, even without a surge suppressor.

Robert Cook · Jun 21, 2015

hmm, then it is either the PSU or the card. here is where I as if you can test the card in another PC. sorry this is a slow process, there are a lot of reasons to sort out.

herrmant · Jun 21, 2015

I can test that card in another pc because it requires a 450 w psu and my old dell xps only has a 375 w ...that artifact only happens in full screen in that program and nowhere else, I really can't send my card into asus and wait several weeks for a new one so I think I am going to want a few months for when I can upgrade to a 800w and a R9 fury x card. Thank you so much for your help.

Robert Cook · Jun 21, 2015

your welcome, sorry I could not solve this 100%

herrmant · Jun 21, 2015

I went and bought the cheapest card I could find, a nvidia gt610 just to use as a replacement when I send the other card for replacement, I have no artifacts and I am actually impressed by the performance of that card...I guess it's just a tad better than the apu graphics.
