Hi, I recently upgraded my hardware for my computers and was really happy with the setup. That lasted about as long as it took me to install Assassin's Creed III and start playing it. 10 or so minutes into playing, I get textures stretching all over the screen and I could not play the game at all. I tried it on GTA IV. There was less artifacting, but there was still some. I upgraded the following: motherboard, processor, graphics card, and RAM. My PC consists of the following.
CPU:AMD FX-4170 Zambezi 4.2GHz (4.3GHz Turbo)
MOBO:MSI 990FXA-GD80V2 AM3+ AMD 990FX
GPU:EVGA 02G-P4-2663-KR GeForce GTX 660 FTW Signature 2 2GB 192-bit
HD:Western Digital WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM
RAM:G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin
PSU:Corsair TX950W PSU
I have never come across this problem and I have no idea what to do. All of the parts above are still eligible for RMA from Newegg. I read into it and found a few causes?
1) Graphics card is OC'd over it's potential.
2) Graphics card is defective. (Got it last week.)
3) Processor might be defective. (Got it last week.)
4) PSU might be dying.
Temperature for the GPU seems to be running at 70, but I'm not sure about the processor since I have no program to read it. It seems it's running a bit hot though. I have two front fans, two top fans, one side fan, and one rear fan. CPU has a heatsink + fan combo on it.
I'm lost. Can someone help me out?
