Hi

Well the title basically says it all. I experience it while playing GTA V. Something like this also happens when i play League of Legends, black blocks appear on the screen for a split second. I read somewhere that lowering the clock of the GPU should help, but doing so only seems to have extended the time that passes before it starts artifacting (i'm not really sure it this is true, i haven't really tested it that much).
The card is a sapphire r9 280x toxic edition.

Thanks in advance.

Hows your air flow in the case? Would want hot air removed quickly with intake and exhaust fans not allowing the chance to cook the card since hot air from the gpu is being dumped inside the case, will be like an oven.

Monitor your gpu temps, it does sound like its overheating. http://openhardwaremonitor.org/

Reducing clocks = less heat over certain period of time, but if hot air isn't shifted will be more less the same eventually, seems like what it's doing.

If you don't have good air flow, have you tried opening the side panel see if that makes any difference or blowing a desk fan might help too.

It nearly didn't make artifacts for the 2 hours i played this time, and when it did, it was nearly unnoticable. I noticed the card was getting quite hot though, maxing at 92 degrees. Any suggestions on how to make it cooler?

Try increase the gpu fan speed with msi afterburner.

Have you installed the latest Crimson drivers? There was a problem couple months back causing some AMD cards to lock fan speed to 30%.

http://www.wagnardmobile.com/ best gpu driver uninstaller.

Yea i've got a crimson driver. Now that i think back, it's probably back when i installed it that the problems started (i should've thought of this before). I'll try downgrading when i get home
