Default artifacts???

So my card at current clocks in sig will run ATI tool for 20 minutes with no errors/artifacting... When I was playing Arma 2 the other day I noticed I would get like a white flash (no particular shape, just jagged white flashes). Only every once and a while would this happen though. Are these artifacts? Or some other texture problem within the game? I cant really get a screenshot cause it flashes so fast.

My GPU temps are around 62-65 when playing Arma 2 for a good hour... Is that ok?

thanks.

The white flash is caused by an unstable core clock. Your temperatures are fine, and if you haven't overclocked then it is probably a game issue. Have you patched the game and are you using the latest drivers?
If you have overclocked the GPU, then try running the game at stock settigs and see if it goes. And if you are at stock settings then try underclocking it and looking for artifacts.

Well my clocks are in my sig. Is it harmful to my card? I have never had a game crash due to it... And as I said, I can run ATItool for 20 mins no problem and run 3dmark06 as well at those clocks.

If the temps are low and the volts are stock then it's not harmful. Just annoying when you're playing a game and it starts flashing. But I'd still say underclocking it is worth a try, takes a few minutes and then you can be sure it's not the clock speeds.

Try lowering your shaders or if that doesn't work, lower your core clock and keep your shaders where they are.....


I do not know if that will work.

try using my setting.. 700-1400-1200 it seemed it worked for so many people who already own the gtx260..

give it a try and let us know... just for your knowledge. always place a shader double the core.
