Artifacts ?

[stormcrow76]

Hi. I play WoW and I have been getting these squares on the left side of my screen in raids. If I tab out really quickly to a website they are not there it only happens in raids. Are these what some call artifacts and a sign that my GPU is going out ?

If they only appear in WoW when raiding and they don't appear in other rendering situations like other games the it is more likely a driver or WoW issue. Check your drivers first.

Run Furmark for 20-30 minutes. If everything looks kosher in Furmark your GPU is fine. Component failure doesn't discriminate by application.
