Problem with 280X Toxic

Ivelin · April 30, 2015

I bought a 280X Toxic second hand(not a miner, atleast by the words of the one who sold it) and while I was playing car mechanic sim 2015, a box(something was stealing windows' focus and I was sent back to desktop)(as big as, say, a chess table box) came up in which black and white colors were changing, the box moved after the desktop came up(it was in the bottom centre, moved right). Nothing showed up in furmark, I deleted the beta driver with the delete option on the installer and installed the omega driver. Today, playing war thunder I got this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wygEsRK_bxQI don't know what to do, should I return it(it has warranty until febr2016) or smth other. The previous owner also had problems, but the company said it's driver issue. The card is running stock speeds and even underclock didn't work.

Sry if bad english, it isn't my native language.

So did he tlel you he had problems with it before or after he sold it to you? Looks like artifacting to me. Card could be on its way out.

What are the temps in game?

My XFX 280x does the same thing in some games.

Temps-it goes up to 67 C

A bit off-topic: for what are the lights near the crossfire bridge? When the pc starts only 1 is on, it goes to 3.

Notree: he told me he had to change it, but the company told him it was a driver problem, to get some asus software, up the voltage and if it continues, to underclock it.
