Is This Artifacting?

[soaringchicken]

Well I think I've had this for a while and have only really started to notice it now. So going off of the pictures that are below, do I have artifacting? And if so, how do I go about it, unfortunately only after buying this card did I find out that people were having these sorts of problems with it, so I'd rather get a refund opposed to getting just another faulty RMA card, is that possible?

 

Thanks,

What exactly are you trying to point out? I see no artifacting.

Only thing i see are bad graphics compared to how my Far Cry 4 looks like.

you can see it particularly on on the sandbag thingies to the right on the 3rd picture

No, that's the way Far Cry 4 (and 3) renders stuff when you get near it.

Little white boxes that look exactly like artifcating?

The only artifacting I see is the sand bags in the last screenshot, but that kind of artifacting looks like a driver or game problem(Its Far Cry, so its more likely the game). Usually artifacting is random lines or spots of color(like red squares for example), so your hardware is fine.

Well, it might just be the game because I have not noticed it anywhere else

I would just wait for updates for either the game or the GPU, because its probably just Ubisoft diggin' again. Usually with artifacting, you will see it in multiple games and some games will just outright crash(caused from the artifacting).
