Whats causing these artefacts?

Hi all

All help appreciated. My MSI GTX 680 frequently did this in Battlefield 4 and its doing the same in Far Cry 4. The card is not overclocked and is in a well ventilated case.

Any thoughts on the cause?

well if your gpu temps are good and your psu is good and you have tried other drivers then your card is borked.

Memory I would say, is it a factory overclocked card?

Yes, temps fine and all drivers tried.

Edit It is factory O/C its this one:

Thanks for the replies. New card I think

The memory looks to be running stock on that card and the core overclock is only very minor, have you checked both of the fans are still working okay? MSI had some trouble with fans leaking oil and ceasing up.

Yes fans running fine.

What's the rest of your system and is it all at stock?

CPU has had a light O/C all of its life. Never any problems with any of my components. (until this!)
When the artefacts appeared again I increased the fan speed on the GPU and the artefacts went. So as suggested could be a fan problem.

gpu memory would be my guess too

Thanks for all the help. Ive contacted overclockers customer service as it appears the card may have a three year warranty.

Typical screenie of faulty memory RMA time.
