Hey guys, im just wondering, is my graphic card broken? so heres what happend working fine played crysis 3 fine and then i tried out COD Black Ops 2 for a couple of minutes when i quit the game i notice something weird, like its running 64 degrees, (according to CCC) and theres like little textures / pixels on the screen artifacts? i bought this card like less then 15 days ago!! its the powercolor hd 7950 ... i tried underclocking it, putting the power thing at 20% still teh same thing ... i still have my recipet what do i do now? go to ncix? or call powercolor?

Did you try to reboot?

Does it come to the same effect?

are you running the latest drivers 13.2 beta 6 or 13.2 beta 7. if your card artifacts return and get replacement from ncix.

 

[aLb.Strykr]

no im not running beta anyhting 13.1, yes i rebooted same thing, guess will return to NCIX then later today D; freaked out! thank good it hapened so early

or else would have had ot deal with shipping for warranty and waiting

why did you undervolt it? that's probably what is causing artifacts. set everything back to default and try it again.

64c is nothing for graphics cards.

 

[aLb.Strykr]

i did not undervolt it i tried setting default nothing, i tried to udnerclock it still no change heavy artifacting

sorry i read it wrong. ncix should replace it then.

Ya, just return it and grab another one.

OK so got the new one, now im noticing something weird, very weird, after i installed COD, played a bit i notice in my CCC - that my GPU USAGE is 100% :/ jumps from 62-97% constantly, and my gpu clock and memory clock are always at max, weird .... my GPU is at 64 degrees constantly its like something is pushing it but i cant tell what after 2 mins again i see some artifacts ... maybe PCI slot or maybe a virus

 

[aLb.Strykr]

maybe a software bug, going to go to 13.2 b7 and report back, uninstalled cod incase something within it causing the issues ... this is getting bad, i will test out another pcie slot after hopefully its not the pci-e

then i have to rma mobo

OK so, first sorry for the tripple post ... just wanted to let everyone know that i think the beta drivers fixed it for me ? weird? right ... but i think it was a bug everyone was experiancing (or just a lot of people considering i did the research and thats what lead me to believe after being an idiot and running to NCIX swapping out hte card ... that it was the software issue)

Glad you got it fixed, I was going to say increase your power setting in CCC %5, %7, %10, ect untill it stops fluctuating. I need %5 on my card and some people need %20 to stop it.

Your card is a boost card correct?
