So kind of an odd issue I've noticed, and I just wanted to see if this was a known issue with a fix, an unknown issue, or just something you have to live with.
My specs
i5-2500k
8gb Kingston HyperX Ram (probably 1600, I can't remember)
7950 Sapphire
Everything stock clocks.
I'm fairly happy with my card thus far, had it around a month now, give or take a week, but a couple things I've noticed that are worrying.
99.9 of the time I can play a game completely free of graphical glitches, but on DOTA 2, XCOM and a couple time on Far Cry 3 I've had a funky line flash across my screen, like a texture stretching out for a split second to another point on the map. this happens maybe once in every 4 hours. The most reliable way I found to recreate this is on the XCOM bunker screen, if you move your mouse quickly from the center, over near to the bottom left, it tends to happen fairly consistently. Is this a driver bug, a software glitch, or is my card defective? I haven't OC'd it, so everything is still stock and fully warrantiable.
Second issue is that during gameplay in XCOM and Sleeping Dogs (hd texture pack) I can play completely maxed out, but as soon as a cutscene hits, noticeable and considerable slowdown. Game runs at maybe 15-20 FPS
Again with XCOM, In the cutscene with Bradford, Vahlen an Shen talking about the outsider crystal I had captured, the screen was slowly panning away from one character and over to another, and there was noticeable choppiness througout. As soon as it goes back to the screen with the little globe and the hologram Skyranger flying back to base, buttery smooth. Back to the cutscene with the Skyranger landing, noticeable choppiness.
What's the deal with that? Are the cutscenes simply FMV's created for the 360 that only run at ~20-30 fps because they figure 360 owners don't care, and my GPU isn't doing any heavy lifting at all? Do cutscenes render differently than regular gameplay and it's taxing my GPU?
Thanks for the help up front, look forward to hearing from you guys!
