msi r9 280 problem?

[alvez]

Hello guys,

 

I bought a msi r9 280, last wednesday, after I instaled it I noticed that the image was kinda lagging a bit while I was playing, it kinda stops not for a huge period of time but for 1 second or something like that,

 

This morning after i turned the computer on i started playing and i got a huge bug on the screen like a big line fucked up on the game. And was like for 3 seconds or so.

 

This "lagg" happens amost every minute, its not very notable but its visible and anoying. 

 

 

Should i change it for a neew one ? Since I have the guarantee.

 

 

Thanks

Artifacts?

What PSU do you have?

 

Try updating drivers.

You went from a 970 to a 280? Why would you do that?

 

Well i can't think of anything else.
