Is there something wrong with my graphics card?

When I play Battlefield 3 I get artifacting when I'm near a helicopter and in Nexuiz It happens when I'm near waterfalls. I've also seen slight flickering in the Witcher 2 occasionally. My HIS 7950 Iceq runs at 934/1262 and 25c at idle and about 65c at full load. I'm currently using the 13.2 beta 5 drivers but it happens with 13.1 aswell. I've also tried down clocking the card but that didn't help.

Here are a few examples:

The bf3 corruption is a bug. As far as im aware this was fixed a while ago though. What drivers are you using?

I'm using the 13.2 beta 5 drivers.

Also how do I change my signature? I can't find anywhere in my profile to change it

Try the 13.1 WHQL drivers.

It may just be a fault of the beta drivers, not sure. Either way report it here and send your screenshots as well.

To change your sig click your name in the top right hand corner of the forum and click user cp (left side) then edit signature.
 
I'm pretty sure it happened on the 13.1 drivers as well but I'll try rolling back just in case.
So it doesn't look like there's anything wrong with the card that would cause those artifacts? It seems to perform well apart from in those cases.

Its just a bug. I haven't played battlefield 3 for a while, but i do remember it happening at some point. Not sure how long ago that was sorry. Make sure you report it so it gets fixed. :)

That was said to Sin earlier because he posted something like that previously btw so i was just replying in kind. ;)

EDIT

Haha got your quote before you could edit it. :p

And I was just joking. I knew I could get that in somewhere tonight :p.

Pay no attention to me MOF, I am kidding and drivers are good from all the reports of late :)

Edit:

Ahhhh ok, I missed the Sin bit :)

Nay bother Gregos. I might sing about the msi 7970 oc a lot but i usually avoid trashing the other team. ;)

Yer, it surprised me to see that and will teach me not to read back through. We may have little digs at the opposite vendors but nothing quite so blatant as that :D
 
I'm not running afterburner at the moment but it is installed and I've used it in the past.
I haven't used beta 6 but I don't expect it to be any different.

It's even worse with the 13.1 drivers:

I never had this with my old card on the same drivers.

Yeh Porkpie, Nexuiz is still going but it's hard to find many players which is a shame. It's still good with bots but much better with other players.

those look like driver problems as has been mentioned (too regular looking to be vram issues). it took months before driver releases finally fixed some of the problems i was having but it's all in the past now.

(btw i just installed nexuiz and to my horror it keeps crashing... (at stock too!) great... :D. whatever, just gonna uninstall)

edit: ok, not whatever. goddamn xD new bugs all the time, and i just can't let them go. apparently nexuiz crashes all the time for other people too, though the worrying thing is it didn't the last few times i had it installed. right now it doesn't even run with everything at stock. frustrating

edit2: fixed completely by installing the directx11 redist in the steam folder. firstly why does windows 8 not include those files (esp when i thought directx11 doesn't need redists anymore), and secondly maybe you ought to try this if you haven't already?

edit3: SUCCESS! in the most contrary way possible! it turns out the directx11 redist package turns off difrectx11 in this game. after installing the package and rechecking dx11, i get exactly the same glitches in nexuiz as you mof. identical. and worse, my pc crashes or hangs too. i've googled and it seems this is a common issue with this game, definitely no hardware fault.

So I should try re-installing direct redist in the steam folder and do the same for BF3? I'm confused because the "redist package turns off directx11 in this game" so I'm not sure what to try?

EDIT: Was it the case that you thought the problem was fixed because direct x 11 was disabled and it was running direct x 9/10 and when you got direct x 11 back on the problem came back?

I'll give beta 6 a go see if that helps.

Directx11 mode off fixes it in Nexuiz.

Try beta 6. I was getting some corruption in farcry 3 with afterburner. Fixed in beta 6.

no dude basically before i installed the redist i was just crashing in dx11 in nexuiz. after i installed it i started getting the same corruption that you have in your screenshots, again using dx11 (crashing was still an issue). a lot of people seem to have problems with dx11 in this game, and judging by the rest of your screenshots your artefacts look like software glitches. it certainly seems like you have driver/game issues rather than a faulty gpu

That's a relief if it's not a hardware problem. I might try some older drivers too if the beta 6 ones don't help.
