DayZ Graphical Problems

[Winter Blue]

Starting about two hours ago, my DayZ Standalone game has started glitching out with trees, dirt, and white lines. I have restarted the game 10 times, all with different graphic settings.

I have been running everything on Very High/Ultra just fine for the past two weeks that I have owned the game, without overclocking my GPU (Radeon HD 7870 2GB DUALX 1.05 GHz Edition). I attempted to overclock my GPU with old settings I had saved in Sapphire Trixx (I haven't overclocked it in a while). I started the game and it ran just perfectly... for about 5 minutes. The game crashed and when I started it back up it started glitching out. I un-overclocked it and ended the Sapphire Trixx process. I started the game back up, resulting in the same problem. I have tried everything I can think of. It would be appreciated if I could receive some input.

And no, it was not over heating. It was keeping a steady 45C while being OC'd and 41C while running stock 1.05.

Have you tried updating your drivers? Maybe try a clean install by uninstalling the current ones and reinstalling new drivers?

Everything up to date, even the bios.

I don't think it necessary to provide my specifications, for I do not believe it is my hardware at fault.
But, I shall give the run down any ways.

Do you only have problems with DayZ Standalone or does it effect other games also? Also, have you tried re-installing the game?

You could also try underclocking your cpu and see if that makes a difference.

Interesting. It appears to be doing this on only certain games. Bio Shock Infinite and Goat Sim. seem to perform okay, but The Witcher 2 seems to be glitching as well.

I'll reset the computer and drain it's power by unplugging it. I'll submit the results once I am back up again.

Also, reseating your gpu sometimes fixes graphical artifact problems (take it out, put it back in). After that I am pretty much out of ideas unfortunately. Never personally had the problem that wasn't fixed by any of the steps you have already gone through.

Hm. After the power drain, all seems well. Guess it was just the overclocking that some how messed it up. These are settings that have worked in the past. Any idea on what went wrong?

Not sure, though I do know that Ultra's PSUs are generally know to be really bad quality. The power supply you have (based on the models I saw online) only has 30amps on the 12v rail which means you only have 360 watts between your gpu and cpu, probably the bare minimum for running those 2 without overclocking. FYI most good 550w psus have about 40-45amp on the 12v rail.

So the psu may have something to do with it if it couldn't provide the power you needed though typically overloading a psu would cause the whole system to restart.

 

[Winter Blue]

Thanks, I'll look more into the PSU situation.
I appreciate your input.

Although the power drain is what did the trick, it won't let me select it as the solution. I selected your response right below it.
Until next time, adios.
