Over the last few weeks ive had about 7 occasions where I had major Artifacting ( lines on screen )
And ive had to switch off PC to fix it.

This has happend once while gaming the rest were when I was watching youtube videos or watching streams in twitch.tv

Ive done a fresh Driver install already and it has happend since.
Swapped which port I connect Monitor too

My temps seem fine highest is around 61c while gaming on intense games.

Idles around 32c

Ive only had the card 3-4 months

Should I query a return?
