Guild Wars 2

I am currently using an hd4870x2 and when I play for about 1 hour my screen starts flickering and sometimes I have graphical artifacts, I have checked my graphics card temps and the GPU temp is fine. Other games don’t make it flicker, guess it’s Guild Wars problem.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Have you tried disabling Crossfire? Since the HD 4870 is considered legacy hardware I doubt there’s that much that will be done. Does the problem occur even with frame limiting to 30?

I am getting something similare to this though I’m running a single HD 7970 OC, on an i5-3570K.

The difference for me though is I have what looks like a single blank frame flick through occasionally that seems to be either white or pale blue (could be some other light colour though as it is only on screen momentarily).

Initially I thought it could be some particle effect being very close to the camera’s oragin, though it has occasioanly happened in areas without any particles that I noticed.

Also a friend has an identical rig to me and doesn’t seem to be getting the issue. It’s quite baffling, given Im only playing GW2 currently not sure if it happens in other games too (it doesnt happen when using other apps though).

I’m not sure if it is releated but I also get slowdowns with heavy fog/particles (like the ghost fog in Ascalon).

Edit: I found the issue. Seems my video card’s fans werent spinning. I’m kinda supprised it didn’t crash the system.
I discovered it on further inspection after using it a while trying to reseat the hardware, and noticed that the video card was very hot to the touch.

How do i disable crossfire?
