Gfx problems, help plix :D

[Filthie]

Took some screens when i´m standing in Scryers bank:










Now, i hoovered and cleaned my computer earlier this week, and the graphics card ain´t overheated either. I took down newest drivers and installed those today aswell, and tbh, it just got worse for some reason

Anyone got any idea wtf this is all about? I had similar problems yesterday during the raid aswell, and still managed to do decently, but not this bad

ok first of all what kind of gfx card do u use? and what kind of
motherboard do u have. Second have u made sure that your card is not
overhetting because those grapic "artifacts" u get is clearly due some of
those 2 reasons, either the card has som kind of dmg or it is overhetting.


I have never seen artifacts beeing due drivers. What u can do is try to
cool the card with something external like a table fan and see if it gets
better aslo opeing the chassi is a good idea. open the chassi and put
your hand on the card cooler and feel if the card is hot if it is to hot the
keep your hand on it then it is overhetting. second look if the cards fan is
running it might have stopped due dusts and other crap u have in the
chassi:). If none of this work u must either buy a new card or rma your
old one so it can get replaced. PS I dont use the card if u dont get ride of
the artifacts u might dmg it permantly if it is due overhetting

On screen artifacts. Possible Gcard over heat...do you have it overclocked or anything?

[Serrated]

I got similar problems a while back..
Turned out that a layer of errosion had been formed at the socket of my card, I shoved it out and cleaned it..
And now it works again.. However, overheating can very probable.

Monitor it:

Everything between 40-69 degrees celcius is considered normal.

70-80 Is basic overheating, grafical errors etc.

90+ Your card can disintegrate in this heat.

Tbh, just try to pull the card out and use a tippex to "putsa"
the thingie if you know its not overheated.

Gfx cards has a Tjunction point at 100 c meaning it will shut down it self if it reaches this point but it still might dmg the card

Got it fixed

Had overheating problems before, so that´s the first thing i checked. And it was going abit warm, so i cleaned the computer and gfx card ofc, but that didn´t help.
I´ve always had full effects on, on everything in WoW, and it´s been smooth. Graphics card is(ofc;)) overclocked, same as my processor. Zhen pieced this beauty together, and everything has worked fine, and is compatible.
It was only in WoW that i had this problem for some reason, so i took down newest drivers, restarted, and it only got worse
This is when i took these pictures. After that i installed the drivers again and restarted, and for some reason the screens had changed place with my TV, so had to reverse that back to normal.
And well now everything seems to work just fine. Weird but... i´m happy again

This is what happened last time i had overheating problems, but now i just got these weird gfx glitches all the time, hence i reckoned it might have been a driver problem.

Useless as allways!
