Guild Wars 2

This shows up occasionally after entering an area. It kind of shimmers when I move the camera. The only way to get rid of it is to close the client and reopen it.

All of my drivers are up to date, nothing is overclocked, nothing is overheating, and no artifacts show up in any other games.

Intel i5 4670K (@ 3.6 Ghz)
1×8GB G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 1600Mhz DDR3
EVGA Geforce GTX 760 2GB
Windows 8.1 Pro, all current updates

Nothing, eh? Have I stumped the gurus?

have you tried repairing game files or reintalling game? looks really odd, like ground was on 8bit colour or something, perhaps buggy texture file or something.

When is the last time you had the case opened up look like an overheating issues open up the case and blow out all the dust. If its a laptop check the air flow path use canned air blow it out. Check the temps of your system, there are several free app for this, CPUz is one also if it’s a PC you might try reseating the card remove the card from the slot on the motherboard and put it back in. Also make sure all your drivers are up to date including the commonly over look motherboard drivers.

yeah actually checking dust could be good idea, since usually programs only show GPU core temperature, and those weird graphigs could be caused by GPU memory overheating.

but then again if this does not happen in any other game i doupt its overheating. anyway cleaning dust even if theres no overheating issues is for good.

also try newest beta graphics drivers and some older ones to be sure its not driver related.

I just built this PC in late November, and had it open in late December to install a wireless card. The case has a fine mesh in front of the intake fans, so no noticeable dust yet. Temps on CPU and GPU aren’t going above 50C when this happens, and System temp isn’t going above 40C. Graphics card is seated perfectly and works fine in every other game I’ve tried, including a Skyrim install that has 4K-sized textures and an ENB mod. For drivers I’ve tried both the latest WHQL and the latest Beta that’s offered up by Nvidia Experience.

I haven’t tried reinstalling, but it only happens occasionally and is cleared by restarting the client so I’d have a hard time believing that it’s a bad texture file… Seems more like an engine bug or shading glitch, especially with how it shimmers.

Looks like you may have a defective card, contact the video card support with this issue and see if they think you need to RMA the card.
