What Do I Do About Artifacting?

[byalexandr]

I bumped up my 290's core clock, and after some extensive testing I found that it tends to artifact quite a bit. Do I need more core voltage or something? Or is this just the limitation of my card?

You might want to increase the power limit. Or tone down the core clock. What are you using to OC your card?

I think the voltage controls the stability of the GPU itself, and that the core clock can present artifacting if turned too high.
I think you should dial back the overclock a bit.

1100/1325 with stock voltage. Just enough to essentially be a stock 290X.

Power limit is at +50% btw.

I'm only at 1100, people take the chip to 1150 or 1200 a lot of times.
