Hello!
I have an oddly specific and, from my sever hours of searching the internet, very unique problem that only shows itself in certain places.
I only noticed this first after I bought Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition of steam this weekend.

As you can see from the picture, he has pink, cone like lines flying off of him, and they move around, along with gray patches that appear when the character and any other humanoid creature, or for that matter any creature in the game seemed to have these gray patches. Now in my head, the looming thought of an RMA was floating by, until I checked other games and they worked flawlessly. So at first, it seemed like a very specific to dark souls issue.
However, this in fact was not true. I noticed odd, snowlike graphical anomalies all around the backgrounds in certain areas and even noticeable more in the steam overlay. These were new to me, but they seemed similar due to the fact they too moved around sparraticly much like the pink offshoots and gray patches.
A few days later, while still trying to figure this out, I went into my CCC to change some settings, all of the sudden, I notice something odd in the color section of the video tab. The little video they have playing in the CCC window to show video color and quality also has these odd sparratic white snow like anomalies, this is when I figured It could not be mearly Dark Souls. Also may I add it is very hard to screencap the amd CCC anomalies because of it being hard to point out, but i assure you they look almost 100% the same as the ones in the following picture.
Look to the mountains to see them

I have tried everything in my power, I am fairly knowledgeable with computers I have tried all settings imaginable, along with trying it on different displays, different V-sync options, making sure the card is in the PCI slot properly, making sure this only happens in CCC and dark souls, I have tried both the newest Video driver 13.2 and 13.1, none others yet.
Honestly Im not going to RMA the card because one game has this issue, but the fact I can see it in CCC is a bit offputting. I have tried contacting the support service available from the publisher of Dark Souls, Namco, and they offered fairly general things to try that eneded up not working either.
I am at my wits end with this honestly, everything I think of simpily cannot be right or is proven wrong, my psu can handle the card, the card is in right, nothing seems to be broken, all connections are good, even the DVI cable and monitor is fine.
I dont have that many things I NEED on this computer so a full scale preemptive strike on my hard drive wouldnt really phase me other than the new driver installs being tedious, I just don't know what else to do.
Here's my Specs
