What's going on here? (3D Mark Artifacting)

[crystal6tak]

Before you watch the video, some information you should know:

 

Specs: 4790K, GA-Z97X-UD3H, 980 Ti Strix SLI, RM850

 

I have ran 3D mark 5 times. The first 3 times, the white artifacting occurs on the same graphic test (second one), the last 2 tries had no problems.

 

Both 980 Ti Strix have high level of coil whine issue.

 

Running the 980 Ti's individually, no artifacting occurs in 3D Mark

 

No driver update or any software change inbetween the runs.

I actually hope it's the RM850 causing trouble. I'm trying to find reasons to refund it and get the EVGA G2 instead. Which may even hopefully fix the coil whine (Although that's another issue on another thread).

850w should be able to properly power those GPU's. Maybe you can return them and tell them they faulty and artefacting?

try running http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/video_memory_stress_test.html does that complete without issues on both cards ?

Ran that on default settings. Used 1GB per card and ran at 640x480 for some reason...

 

Test completed, no errors found.

u can edit it to more gig to be more thorough the resolution doesnt matter artifacts are caused by memory errors so its just like a mem test 86+ only for gpu
