Hi guys

I get these huge thick lines that protrude from characters and go across the screen and from objects (like tables and chairs that are on the screen)

PC:

Asus Maximus Gene V
Radeon 7850
I5 3570K

Can this be a heat issue

My temps:

Thanx

I had similar thing with my first and last ATI card, upgrading to a new card fixed that. I'd go with what PP said...
 
Toss it... Have you tried reloading drivers? Have you cleaned carbon build up off PCIe contacts? If you have and you are still seeing this, toss it and buy a new one.. because chances are it's gonna fall over again and could be unreliable. ATI cards are generally pretty solid, so try new driver installation and a contact clean..
 
Try updating your drivers.
Does this only happen in the game shown above?
 
It's either drivers, or the card is damaged. I'd say probably overheated. I don't know what those cards normally run at but when I see NINETY FIVE DEGREES I just think, that ain't right.
 
Clean the contacts and heatsink. Make sure the fan is turning properly.
The pop a psu fan in the case pointing at the gpu and try again.

May just be a heat issue and not permanent damage.

Hi guys

Thanx for the help thus far

The mobo is about 3 weeks old, so I don't think it is the PCIe contacts.

Running the newest drivers.

I bought it from Rebeltech, and I know from posts on MYBB, that they don't have any problems to help when it comes to faulty Hardware
 
You haven't mentioned whether this is happening in other games? I know my screen artifacts like a hell on DayZ but I can max BF3 without an issue.

Its definitely not a temp issue those temps are fine, try bump the voltage and lower the clocks.

It could just be a glitch in the game.
The HUD looks fine so i'm not totally convinced it's the card.

I don't play any other games at the moment, so maybe should install something and have a look.

Is there any reason why the stock clocks and voltages can give problems?

Never had any problems earlier, although I played it on a different system with lower GFX, atm I am running it on ultra GFX, can that be a problem. What about power, I have a 600W PSU.

So it's just that one game? That definitely changes things. It's drivers or the game itself in that case, not the card.
