Guild Wars 2

Hi can someone help me. I upgraded my video card to r7 260x and this graphic glitches shows up mostly on WvW and where there is a lot of player around me. This error doesnt show on my old video card.

Uninstall driver then reinstall new driver from AMD website if you didn’t do this when you changed card it all most 100% the cause

If its still there after try running furmak the stress the card and see if you still get artifacts

Kind of looks like you might have a bad GPU.

I know some of the R9 270X’s came out defective. Small, like 2-3% of them. But that doesn’t mean yours isn’t one of them.

Just to run through it again;

Your PSU is what Wattage?
You reset your BIOS settings?
You Installed the Latest supported Driver from amd.com for your R9 270X?
You Did a SafeMode Driver Sweep before Installing the official latest driver?
You reseated the GPU, including its Power connector?

All thats left is to RMA and replace the GPU.

^ – Just to Sum it up.

Thanks for tip. I already did this and still there is artifact on the stress test. But now there are just pixelated graphical glitches only when the GPU heats up to 73 deg C. Is this a normal heat that a GPU can handle?

PSU = 620Watts
BOIS = new motherboard also so i think my BIOS is still on its stack.
Installed driver from the AMD website.
Need to try the SafeMode Driver Sweep now and will reseated the connectors.

Running the same card now and 73c is fine. Your PSU wattage is important,but so is the Amps your 12 volt rail supplies.
Which drivers did you get from AMDs site? If its the new 14.1 betas you HAVE to REMOVE all older drivers,not just upgrade over the old.
Display Driver Uninstaller is great for that.

If correctly installing 14.1 betas doesnt alleviate the problem,try going back to 13.20. They worked fine with Gw2 for me.
