I'd just like to ask whether this is a normal thing? This is the second gpu i've ever clocked after my r9 270x died a few days ago.. Its an GTX 1050 OC by Gigabyte. It is not artifacting but even on gaming mode it displays these screen tears during scene to scene transition, and like .5 sec into the scene where it'll run smooth again. Does EVERYBODY have this problem? Its kind of a concern to me but I dunno if I should be ..


Also, I'm curious not having a 6 pin connector, and it purely powered by the PCI slot on the MOBO.. Does it limit the overclocking abilities? I am noticing throttling and I've heard people reaching +145-155mhz Core, while my GTX at +125mhz is artifacting slightly on SuperPosition benchmark.

I'd love some insight, much gracias from an Dutchie!
