BF3 Artifacts

[thefogo]

Hi guys - I've recently got back into playing BF3 (Armoured Kill is awesome ) and have found that I get slight artifacts
Here's a couple examples:

Spoiler

I get them when running at my normal OC (1200/1500), so I clocked down and tested it again, however the problem still exists

Any ideas/anyone else have this problem?

Mhm I get them even at stock. The game wouldn't need to be restarted to test at different clocks, right?

Artifacts are usually a sign of a memory overclock which is too high. If its doing if on stock settings try a different set of drivers.

Does it do it in all games? If so return it immediately.

p.s. don't see anything wrong in screenshot 1?

Yeah It's tough to see
Big artifact from the chopper going through the marker for G
And I haven't noticed any problems in any other games.

I did a reboot and am running it at stock clocks - I haven't seen any artifacts as of yet.

Does a memory clock OC even give any sort of performance benefit? If not I might just leave it at stock.

^I have a 7950 Vapor-X

Mem overclocks can give vast improvements to fps but if you are getting artifacts, that is deffo memory overclocked too much. Maybe work on your core clocks and see how that goes.

Ok cheers dude
I'll see how an OC goes with the memory at stock

Problem solved I believe
It runs perfectly at 1200/1250 ^__^
I expected it to hit 1500Mhz on the memory easily but that doesn't seem to be the case - I tried it at 1450 also and there were artifacts again
I'll run it at stock memory clocks until I can be bothered squeezing a bit more out of it

This thread has made me remember I need to go for an eye test.

I had one the other week and had to get a new prescription - I opted for the free frames as I needed the money for a graphics card
