Graphical issues

Carlosfootball · 3 Apr 2012 at 09:53

Hey there,

I bought a MSI Twin Frozr 560Ti 2mb card from overclockers about 4months ago...Its been Ok until recently.

When I play World of warcraft it sometimes does, What i can only describe as 'Rainbow' coloured triangles on the scree when I turn the camera in certain directions...And in some extreme cases the whole screen does this and I have to relog which causes a fix.

On 2 occasions, When I was watching a Youtube video the screen would freeze and purple/pink pixels would appear all over the screen and I would have to restart the computer.

I immediately thought it was a GFX issue, as I had this kind of thing happen to me once before and it turned out that it was the GFX dying. As I only had the card for 4 months I sent it back to Overclockers RMA, Where they tested it for me and found no faults with the card at all.

So here is my question, If its not the graphics card, What else could be causing this to happen?

Thanks

Carl

I'm pretty sure I had slight issues before the latest drivers though.

Any other suggestions?

Well as i stated, I already sent it RMA back to overclockers and they found no faults.

Hmm I don't have one no.

Thing is I never really experienced any problems in Starcraft 2, only in Wow...and then obviously there was that time on youtube as I wrote in the original post.

I got my Graphics card back from Overclockers after the RMA...Logged into Wow, And here is what happened.

As I said, I got the card back from Overlclockers who said there was nothing wrong with it, It passed all tests etc...What else could be causing this?

Any help would be awesome.

Hey,

Card is seated properly, All connectors are in properly.
Drivers are the latest version from Nvidea.
Did a WoW repair.
Not sure how to use that first program to monitor my gpu...as it only had option for Cpu monitor (Gpu monitor greyed out)

I did download Fumark and did a 15min stress test (Custom Resolution 1680x1050).

18fps minimum
29fps maximum
28fps average
81 degrees maximum temp

I did notice a bit of tearing on that test though.

If you can see across the center of the hole, where it tears.

Maybe you can see it better here?

Not overclocked my car at all.

Hey,

Had fresh install of drivers, Yes. Had not installed any new hardware/software and My wow settings have not changed.

I play at 1680x1050 resolution.

I have basically copy/pasted the original post (With pictures) into the Customer services section of the forum so lets hope I can get some help there.
