White specs

[firebot779]

So today while i was playing FF-XIV i noticed out of the corner of my eye some white specs pop in and out randomly in a line a certain angles and only on certain buildings. So i figured i'm having artifacting issues and i am asking for some help on this.

No artifacting has happened yet on my desktop its only been in game.
No random colors or the specs being massive its just tiny yet noticeable sizes 
I won't lie my gpu is pretty dusty and so is my whole PC and i will get to cleaning it soonish.

So what i was wondering is does this mean my GPU is about to kick the bucket, do i have power draw issues or does this mean i just gotta clean up the inside of my pc?

this almost sounds like anti aliasing artifacts (different than the "GPU is fucked" artifacts).

 

Try changing the Anti Aliasing mode to something else. Anything else really.... does it still happen??? get worse??  better??

 

also... you can try DSR could also be a resolution thing.

Might be hitting a thermal ceiling because of this. Clean it well soon. Made a world of difference for my spare PC.

So after running some stress tests and what not i notice it only happens when the temps get close or at thermal ceiling. I just think maybe a good cleaning is in order. I do thank you all for the tips and know how you've given.

remember not to use a vacuum cleaner. just compressed air and a rag.
