Hey all i recently purchased the for-mentioned card and installation went great (i think)..

Now whilst playing Warcraft ( not really tried any other games yet) ive noticed every now and again the screen will flick to black and then straight back again,also ive seen some strange goings on with grass and some snow whilst walking through it ,and i also saw what i describe as fence posts that had a weird blur around them.

Im using 2 monitors , Samsung syncmaster 931cw which is using the dvi-i port and my second monitor Samsung syncmaster sa100 is using the hdmi port(but this monitor only has a vga output so i am using a converter which cost £2 from a well known auction site).Im hoping the converter is bad ,ive ordered a new cable .

Any ideas ??
 
I've had some issues with World of Warcraft too, although I can't remember if I played pre patch with this card now... But the problem I'm getting is 'not responding' crashes (could be an addon?) and also on the 1st boss in Dragon Soul there was black artifact looking pop outs within the snow at certain angles, and also noticed the other week on Timeless isle weird pop outs at certain angles in one place.

The game doesn't run anywhere near as smooth as on my brothers system either when I thought it would be pretty similar - he has i7 4970 @ 4Ghz, and my i5 2500k @ 4.5Ghz (both 8GB ram) I would have thought we would be pretty similar speed, he has a GTX 970 but still, this is a 10 year old game minus the small amount of model updates they've made they should both be 60fps at all times surely.... :mad:
 
Done some reading and seems there's some reports of latest beta 14.9.2 not working correctly in World of Warcraft. I reverted back to 14.9.1 gonna see if I still get any issues.
 
Amd control says im on the newest drivers.

Ive turned all settings down a bit to see if it helps (only on wow)Not want I wanted to do though as I upgraded from a hd 7750 to this so I wanted settings to at least all be on high :(
