Integrated gpu causing artifacts.

[jacob247891]

I have recently built a pc with the following specs:
Asus prime b250m-a mobo
Celeron g3930
4gb ddr4 ram
600w psu
1tb hdd

I have noticed recently while playing games on the integrated gpu that there is some wierd artifacting. In crysis the blood becomes very pixelated and jumpy and in other games like rocket league, half life 2 and portal 2, there is a white line that shows up every 5 seconds or so on random parts of the screen. There are other games too but not as bad as these ones.

I have thought about just getting a gt 1030 or rx 460 for both more performance and to stop the artifacting. My question though is would a discrete gpu stop the artifacting (i have narrowed the artifacting to the cpu) from happening or would it still be there with a gpu. I'm just a bit paranoid as i only built this pc 7 months ago. i expected it to last atleast a year or more before showing any signs like this.

Thank you in advance

You checked the temperature of your CPU? Using integrated graphics generates more heat and it may require a better CPU cooler. A discrete GPU will not artifact unless the fan fails or you overclock it until it gets hot enough to cause that issue.

Yeah, i haven't seen the cpu go above 60 degrees celsius,

If it still is under warranty you could RMA your CPU.

sO WOULD THAT MEAN IF I GOT A GPU THE ARTIFACTING PROBLEM WOULD MOST LIKELY BE GONE?

 

[jacob247891]

it could just be wear and tear because somepeople say that they can't run crysis and i am but who knows.

 

[jacob247891]

so i'll probably rma it anyway but do u think a gpu would stop this as i only got the cpu 7months ago.
And would they test it in gaming conditions as i only see this when i am playing games. they could just say its fine under normal work loads.

 

[GhislainG]

It will and the performance will be better.

okay thx, so a new gpu should fix the problem

Thanks
