so yeah this has been a major thorn on my side for awhile now, everytime I try playing DA:I, ACU or ACRogue, this happens randomly most of the time.

Ive tried updating my graphics card's drivers (btw I got an ASUS GTX750 Ti OC Edition) via the NVidia site to no avail.

Ive tried the ASUS graphics card drivers, but it still happens, although abit less often...

also I can still ctrl+alt+delete and stop the game thru task manager, and at the system tray I get the message that my driver has stopped working and has recovered...

Thank you for anyone that'll suggest any solution to this...Im seriously desperate -_-
 
Solution
GPU is pixelating or what everyone calls artifacting, few things you can try. Download MSI afturburn and check your temps make sure your card is not overheating. Try downclocking your card back to stock speeds instead of the factory OC. Replace the thermal paste/pads between the card and heatsink.


If downclocking the card works then you have two options, ether run the card a the slower speed or call asus for an RMA (if still under warranty) since the card will not perform at the intended speeds.

Are you saying he should open up his card? Not sure about the warranty in that case

thx for stating my options man, this card has never gone past 60 degrees, havent tried downclocking my card yet...but even if I did I dont think Ill settle for less of what my hard earned money paid for, so I guess Im sending this back, thanks alot to those that answered my question
 


It really depends on the manufacture on how far you can push the warranty. I had a zotac GTX480 that i pulled the air cooler off and put a water block on it and hacked the bios to get more voltage. Called them up for a faulty video port. Pulled the card right out of my computer and sent it to them as is. Because what i did, did not cause the issue they replaced the card under warranty and even moved the waterblock and hacked bios over to the new card. pushed two of those cards from a stock 607mhz to 1001mhz with a bios voltage hack. Goes to show that not all companies look for the easy way out of a warranty.
