Screen tearing / Artifacting

I've had both cards running since yesterday with no issues so far but i haven't yet found the time to play GTA for more than about 30 minutes so cant really come to any conclusions just yet.

You overclocking? If not that looks like vram failing.

Listen to this guy. Try overvolting your ram a tad. This isn't anything new. It happens when you overclock the ram too far, but since you're at stock then IMHO its grounds for an RMA.

I did hear that there was an update (driver?)to fix this problem. I believe the common factor was that they are factory overclocked cards.

If u have corruption loading and these kinds of artifacts I'd eat my hat if it wasn't vRAM being responsible.

With regards to overvolting your vRAM, I'm not sure there is a separate setting in msi afterburner, its probably tied to the core voltage in that case.

Alternative to overvolting (underclocking ram):

How come it is only happening in one game for me then?

I've been playing loads of different games this week without the same issue appearing.





I have also tried underclocking both of my cards down to 900MHz and the problem is still there.
 
Played a few hours today with a mate and didn't get any of the crazy screen tearing. I did lower the core to 1000 instead of 1100.

Maybe it's just the game, I don't know.
 
I did get a bit of corruption in like a square pattern with black dots but it went after the round restarted
 
When playing with some settings in GTA5, I almost filled the VRAM usage bar and had terrible artifacting in the lower right hand side of the screen. The only way to remove it, was to lower some settings.
I'll watch this thread, see what you find. May have to fire off an email to Gigabyte, they're normally pretty good.

The artifacting in the bottom right-hand corner is caused by MSAA.
 
I have GTA v now and can confirm I get the same black tearing. I also get flashing again. Think its time for an RMA unless any if you guys have found a fix?

I've been in touch with AMD and they are investigating it. I've been keeping an eye online and a lot of other people appear to be having the same issue across different games. I've started getting it on Battlefield: Hardline as well.



Just out of curiosity, do you happen to have a 280, a 280X, or a 79XX?

Also if you can, post about the issue in the AMD driver thread, if you have an AMD card. Hopefully the more people that complain about it, the quicker it'll get sorted! :p
 
Running a 280x over clocked version from gigabyte.

Copied the thread into the drivers forum too

Bit of a bump guys.

Just wondering if you guys have managed to solve the problem?

I've set up an RMA but I'm genuinely wondering if its the card at fault. I've run MSI kombustor for 2 hours with no problems :(
