Bought the whole set one time at November 1,2013

sooo at the first 3 months of playing games ( online / offline ) everything was fine, then boom "artifacting" Games played: Guildwars 2, Skyrim, Minecraft. ( these are the games i usually play )

I have not tweaked anything. No overclocking, underclocking etc. Direct 3D settings from Nvidia Control Panel is "let the 3D application decide"

I found a post that 314.22 is a "stable" driver. but it does not support 700series. although there is also a post that you can tweak the .inf file to be able to detect the graphics card. if i install it would it cause the video card to be damaged?

Is this really a Driver Issue? the current driver I have is 344.11

what are my options? aside from RMA ( because it would take 3 months, yes 3 months! imagine 3 months without Graphics Card ) and no overclocking or underclocking ( i'm scared )

P.S I have been always updating the graphics card since i bought it last nov 1, 2013.

Do you have the latest mobo BIOS? If so might try raising the VCCSA voltage a tad - maybe + 0.07 and see if that helps

Currently I have the F7 update from the Gigabyte website

Do you have other Diagnostics? I'm afraid to tweak power. 🙁

Might simply contact the manufacturer then and see what their input is

I won't bother talking to them. they would just say "bring it here and we'll fix it (takes 2 weeks) if we can't fix it we will bring it to our capital city ( takes 30-40 working days ) if they can't fix it they will send it to their supplier ( another 30-40 working days ) so yeah.

Raising the VCCSA (which is the System Agent Voltage) that sligh amount won't have any adverse effect, what it may do is stabilize the GPU
