Graphical Artifacts

[Likesm]

Hey Guys,

 I´m havin graphical artifacts in all of my games. My CPU and GPU are both overclocked. Still got the same artifacts when I restore the clocks. I don´t really bother because I´m going to buy a new GPU in a short time. :) My question is if these artifacts could be caused by my CPU. It´s an AMD Phenom X6 1090T @ 3.8 GHZ. It passes Prime 95 without any problems.

Graphical artifacts are caused by the GPU not the cpu

So if a buy a new one I won´t have those problems anymore I guess? :)

Graphical Artifacts not caused by the GPU? I bought a new graphics card yesterday, it´s a new gtx 670. But I still got the same artifacts as before, but they don´t appear as often as before. Can be my CPU the problem? I really have no idea what to do, these artifacts are really annoying. Gonna try to post some screenshots here, so you know what I am dealing with.

[FernandoTeixeira]

is your pci-e slot clean? what is the temperature of your card, what games ? did you overclocked the 670? drivers? what's your psu?

 

I hope you can do something about it, but as far as I know it's only GPU problem. 

[Humbug]

Really unusual that changing the GPU didn't resolve the issue.

 

May as well try the below to rule out other possibilities

-different cable to monitor

-different connection type (VGA, DVI, HDMI)

-different monitor (if the artifacts don't show on screenshots it may be the monitor)

-reinstalling directx

-changing the PCIe slot

Okm going to try your tips. Is it IMPOSSIBLE that another component other than the GPU isn´t wokring correctly? Maybe RAM or MOBO? I´m definatelly going to try another pci-e slot. The card arrived in mail yesterday so I had no time to overclock it. GPU Tweak says the temperatures are 75 celsius at load. The strange thing is that I have the same artifacts as with my older graphics card except that they don´t appear that often anymore.

Here are my system spec:

 

AMD X6 1090T @ 3,2 Ghz (normaly at 3.8, but now at stock because of trouble shooting)

Gigabyte 990FXa-D3

8GB Team DDR3 1333 RAM

Intel 330 series 120gb ssd

ocz zt 750w psu

asus xonar phoebus sound card

Deinstalled my soundcarddrivers and my soundcard, didn´t work. Changed the pci-e slot of my graphics card, didn´t work. Used a different monitor and different cable, didn´t work. WTF IS THIS SHIT?!

Tried to use different slots for the RAM, didnt help. I am so dissappointed and mad at the same time -.-

its not artifact or not showing...what I see is AA turned off

[Analog]

Try running Unigine Vally benchmark. Put it at Extreme HD. If you don't see any artifacts or some kind of black spots in the background than you're fine.

[pierrelucsav]

I can't see any artifact in your screenshots.

[AnonC322]

Just looks like aliasing to me 

[mgsstar]

It doesn't seem to have any artifacts. Its probably your AA setting is off. I would try turning on some AA to see if it fixes it. I would run Heaven benchmark in order to see if your gpu is really creating artifacts.

[Likesm]

Lol AA is on the max. setting.....

It´s really hard for me to screenshot the flickering because therfore I need many pictures to compare but trust me, something is wrong here. Shadows and textures are not supposed to flicker I guess. Also I have strong Aliasing although I always turn on AA( even in Metro LL with 2xSSAA). I don´t have any idea if it could be a hardware or a software problem.

BTW AA was at 32xCSAA while playing Batman AC and making the screenshots, so you guys now that this Aliasing is not supposed to be there

[Darell3]

Try a different game?

[Humbug]

upload a 1080p video of this onto Youtube if possible so we can see it in motion.

[TymmVonD]

I've seen this in games and benchmarks as well. It's almost as if the edges are transparent. Seems like aliasing but different.

 

Are you forcing/injecting AA? Other than that, I believe it just happens with some games/benches. Espescially if visible with default clocks.

[FernandoTeixeira]

if it's all maxed in nvidia settings control, can be it...in some games if you force more AA or tessellation you will have artifact, blur and other kind of stuff

[Likesm]

I don´t force it, here take a look:
