Graphic Card Dying?

[stellos_artois]

Specs:

Power Supply: Antec Truepower Quattro 1000W
Motherboard: Asus P7P55D-E PRO Socket 1156
Ram: Kingston HyperX 16GB
Graphics Card: SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X R9 280X
Cpu: Intel Core i7 870 @ 2.93GHz

 

Video #1: From 2014 - Once I updated the driver this stop happening.

 

Video #2: From 2015 - Driver is up to date

 

I can play games like CSGO, GW2, The Crew, Crysis 2, BF4, BF3, Rust.

 

When it comes to a game like DayZ my monitor does that crazy stuff. Like a bad input or something. Any help?

Have you overclocked the card? Try setting a lower core clock manually to see if that helps.

 

Maybe your CPU overclock is influencing it aswell. How does it run without CPU overclocks?

 

Other than that: are all the connectors plugged in properly (Graphics card; monitors?) is the card seated in the PCIe slot properly?

[ELSknutson]

oh no you hit the .5 GB of GDDR5  BUM BUM BAAAA.

 

Lol Just kidding 

 

try it on another system if you can and also try just unseeing on-board graphics and see what turns up.

If it's DayZ I wouldn't worry myself. That game is still in alpha and is very poorly optimised so any artefacts or stutters are the games' fault, not your cards'.

Here is possible problems

-Ran out of memory

-Some over clock of any part of the system is messing with it

-card not seated right

-cables not seated right

-monitor trouble not gpu

- thermal throttling

- capping due to pci 2 not 3

-driver failure

-and all out right card failure

Can you please send me model of the vapor x card and some more details. Hope I helped

Pcie 2.0 and 3.0 doesn't really matter as long as you are running in a 16x or if needed 8x slot

That is most likely not the issue, however i must name all bases.

Look Guys, I am a Pro on GPUs and I have had capping happen on gen 2. It has only happened once, but because of that I must address that problem. It is not that most likely but you never know.

when mine died it went bang and started to catch fire and smelt horrible, so yeah maybe its just a reinstalll driver job.

So I actually had this exact same issue, and it was very strange.

But I am quite confident that your graphics card is gone.

 

If you boot into a Linux distro, you shouldn't see these lines at all.

Then boot back into Windows and you will see them again.  (strange)

I ended up reinstalling windows, and it was fine, up until I installed the driver. Once I installed it I had the same issue again. 

If you uninstall the driver, report back here and tell me if you still get the screen glitching.

 

I ended up RMAing mine, and afterwards when I got the new one back it worked fine.

 

Anyways thats my story.

According to your profile, you run HD Graphics 4600...

But you said that you've had an experience with PCI 2.0 bottleneck. Don't bullshit.

Alright I will do some research

[stellos_artois]

He had to quadruple qoute it. Anyways I found a short fix was to launch the game in window-mode then change it to full screen it seemed to work. For now.
