What are these lines?

[blakslee720]

So I'm playing Assassins Creed Black Flag and notice these random and ugly horizontal lines running across parts of the landscape. Any thoughts?

 

GPU is overclocked within the normal overclocking limits of MSI afterburner.

Could be tearing from running faster than your monitor's refresh rate? You can turn on Vsync if it's really bothering you, but that will cause stuttering if you drop below your monitor's refresh rate (Usually 60 fps).

sounds like your overclock is not stable...

Try taking the clocks back down to stock and play again.

It looks different than tearing. Is the picture showing up on your end?

Take your OC down a few noches and see if anything changes.

So the image didn't seem to upload so (no knowing what else to do) I uploaded them to tumblr and here's the link for you all. Thanks for the help.

 

Clock speeds etc didn't show on the screenshots but the duplicate images represent stock vs overclocked results (which are identical) so I don't think it's an unstable oc.

Could you at the very least try taking the oc down and seeing what the results are?

They're hard to see, look at the wood floor

[adamdidthis]

I am looking at the wooden floor and there is nothing wrong with it. That's how they look.

Yes I can see the lines. They look like that for me too, and there is nothing wrong with my PC

Just to be safe, drop your memory clock down a 100mhz.

 

If its gone y'know what went wrong.

[blakslee720]

I did turn down the clock speeds all the way to stock and it still looked like that. It also happens when I'm "in the animus" playing as kenway

If I was you i'd check how long the warranty lasts because that is very subtle artifacting. My 4890 HD did that and then it died 2 months later.

 

Apparently the VRam from Samsung apparently was faulty.

That would be AC optiomazition issues. I have the same problem when running the game. At first I thought it was anisotropic filtering turned off but no. Then I tried V-sync, still no. I tried running better textures- no. It's the game- it's still efing broken.

[SkilledRebuilds]

Three people who played it sharing the issue...

 

Game is no doubt brokeded....

[TetraSky]

Not hardware related, blame the game.

Thanks. I got the card in january and i think the warranty is 3 years

IE it's optimized for nvidia not radeon? Oh well. With the radeon 300 series coming out, maybe 970 prices will drop and I'll start upgrading
