running under a vortex neo... =/ Must be overheating, but its silly how low the gpu core temp is.

If you dont play games leave it like that, looks funky!!

I'm out of touch with the current technical jargon. Arfifact - what's that?

Try seeing if your graphic card fan is running or not. Is the fan/heatsink clean? Is your case fan working? Any cords in the way of cooling?

Do you overclock your gfx cpu BTW?

Hmm i'm not sure. Looks like only certain parts of the display are affected if it was the card / memory chips then wouldn't it be all over the screen?

At least thats seems to be the case in my experience anyway.

i will have a fiddle with the drivers. it appears to be heat, but the gpu runs cool. and furmark doesn't seem to show it. making it a dx issue? a restart clears it, also programs start wigging out when it happens
