Need help diagnosing graphics issues

[27 lemurs]

Hey all,

I've been having this graphics issue for a while now, but I've been too lazy to really do anything about it. Certain games, like CS:GO, don't have any issue running at all. Also, when playing Civ5 using the Directx 9 setting, it runs fine (even though I have Directx 11 on my computer), but when I choose to run it under the Directx11 setting, I get this really weird choppy display. Same thing happens during cut scenes of Dragon Age Inquisition, but during the actual game play it runs smooth. Any idea what I can do to fix it? I'm pretty clueless here

I'm running a GTX 770, i5 4670K, 8gigs of RAM, and an ASRock z87 Extreme4

Just updating with a picture of the problem in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Sigh, another issue. Lately, my browser (chrome) has been freezing for a few seconds and then unfreezing. I didn't think much of it to be honest, but after looking into it a little bit it looks like the two issues may be related and I might have faulty ram. Anyone more knowledgeable than me have any other ideas?

You're running the latest graphics drivers? Checked your temps? Updated your BIOS?

BIOS and graphics drivers are all up to date, and my GPU/CPU temps aren't very high. If more info would help, just ask and I'll try to supply

Update: I ran memtest86 on both sticks of RAM, individually, for 4 passes each, and both came back with 0 errors.

After being told to run some GPU stress tests (on a different forum), these were the results: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/5512057

I was then told to download a different driver, 347.09, which I did, with the following results: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/5512769 ..however, I had to run it 3 times using this driver. The first time froze and crashed, the second time I got some sort of error message, and the third time worked fine.

I also ran Furmark for 12 minutes or so, and the temp never went above 83*C, with an average of about 80*..don't know if that means anything or not.

I took out the GPU and tried running Civ5 on the integrated graphics, to see if the problem occurred. In game was slow (as expected I guess), but there weren't any serious graphical issues. The initial CIVILIZATION V (while loading the main menu) had some small lines through it though, so I'm not sure what to think with that.

Anyway, I still have no idea what's wrong, so help/insight is appreciated. Thanks
