Hello i have a problem with Far Cry 4.

I mean sometimes ( very very rarely ) i have artifacts like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj84rxa1VSc
Card is OC by factory. I dont OC. Its my second Asus Strix 980 with similiar problem with artifacts on Far Cry 4.Again i must RMA? I am sorry but this is ridicilous. Second card with similiar problem.This time its showing that artifacts like above.
On other games i dont notice that. Playing Watch Dogs, Crysis 3, Heaven i dont see that artifacts.
Only in Far Cry 4 but very occasionally i have something like this. Very rarely but of course it is.
I can play Far Cry 4 many hours without that artifacts. But sometimes after 10 minutes it can appear like on stated movie above.
That yellow artifacts always appear on the same place in game. I dont get them in other places. Always when i walk to the same place like on that movie. It can be graphic card or its a game\driver issue because its always on the same place in game?
So its RMA time? So its again not stable OC even preferred by Asus?


Hope you help me.
Ah i forget. My psu is Corsair 750 RM. Game is patched to 1.5. And i am using 344.75 - WHQL. Thx

This post seems very familiar , Are you the guy from Overclock.net with the insane Strix 980 overclock yet not overclocked ?

Firstly are you having problems with other games ? , if not then FC4 is the issue. Personally i avoid Ubisoft games because of exactly these kinds of issues.

He has open threads in 7 different forums with the same questions and answers. Remedies have been suggested but he refuses to carry them out. It has been suggested that he has a pirated copy of the game as he won't update to the latest version, something I thought Uplay did automatically. It's his version of the game that's at fault not the card.

I am really sorry for trouble. But if you can help me i will be pleased. Look
Look what i have found. Somebody record gameplay with Asus Strix 970. And he got the same occasionally flickering ( artifacts ) like mine Asus Strix 980.

I upload movie.
Look second 0:24 ( that fast flicker ) :

And i have the same random very occasionally flicker . Is this related to card or game? Or Strix are just too much overclocked just Far Cry 4?

It does, and you can't turn it of and that is as you suggested, a blatantly pirated copy of the game.

source : i know a few jack sparrows, don't we all ? ( not myself my steam library will prove that ) and after asking them they all mention texture flickering from a " popular " uploaded of pirated software


Edit if you wish to prove this otherwise please post a video inc your name showing your graphics settings. You can definitively prove it's pirated in there with a certain FOV slider

Buy the game and just like magic the artifacts will disappear.
