Visual glitch or gpu issue?

[Gabardine 10]

Been seeing some weird glitches lately, they have so far only occured in Arma 3.

Is this because of a bug in Arma 3?

Or are amd's 13.6 drivers bad?

Or is my gpu (7970) dying?

No one?

Hi Gabardine,

I take it you mean the brown block of textures running from left to right on the screenshot? Can you reproduce it again? Also post your system specs and also your in game settings. Are you running on Dev or stable build?

As much information as you can give is always a bonus.

i've seen the same 2-3 times with nvidias 320.18 driver (i have a gtx670), not since i changed to newer drivers though

unless you see the same in other games i doubt the card is dying, you can always try the latest amd driver http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/amd_catalyst_13_x_%2813_150_1_june_21%29_download.html

Can you reproduce it again?

It appears at random when I'm on the ground (haven't seen any graphical glitches while flying)

Also post your system specs and also your in game settings.

Pretty sure I'm running the stable build, how do I find out?

I have a similar problem. How do you find out the version number. I have the Arma3 Beta

When you load up the game, look in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, it will tell you the version of the game you are running. If you are running the developer build it will say in brackets "Developer Build" or words to that effect.

The latest stable build is: 0.72.107486

it it's frequent try to lower your gpu oc, as some games can give artifacts while others don't

Lowered my gpu clocks to stock, then this happened: http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2872/9291705171_182d0ea748_o.jpg

i had this in a different game when my GPU had too less voltage..
