Good morning / afternoon / evening friends,
I bought a new video card recently (R7 xfx 260x 2 gb) and on their first test (BF 4 - with preset high) appeared some green dots on the screen (Artifacts)
Strange fact is, i ran OCCT error check mode and 0 errors found, and when i ran GPUTOOL it show the same artifacts that appear in BF4
Ps: Running BF4 and alt-tabbing to desktop gives me flickering / stuttering desk :/.
Ps2: Stock clocks. Never thought about Oc on this one.
So,
Quickly researched and found the following possible problems:
- Overheating;
- Drivers;
- Weak power source;
- Defective Hardware;
Isn't heating, since the maximum temp reached was 64.
Drivers are properly updated (clean install & 3 different versions was used).
Source is what I'm betting (although i read in other forum some guy with 450w working perfectly) , I've a Dr. Hank 500 W and the required by this card is just the one i have, but from what I've been reading, the lack of energy would only increase the card's temperature. Correct me if I'm wrong.
What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance', if you need more specs just ask.
