Common issue with new AMD cards, return it asap. It's your only option, unfortunately.

That would be wrong, but not surprising coming from someone with an nVidiot card in their sig.

Start a trouble ticket with your OEM. The OEM may have a BIOS update or other patch to fix whatever issues you have encountered. Be as specific as possible with them in your descriptions of the problem.

It should not cause any long-term issues for you unless it is a symptom of another problem with the card. By starting the trouble ticket you should not have any problems if a warranty return is required in the future.

HA, you're rude as hell. I've build plenty of PCs both with AMD and Nvidia cards. The easiest way to deal with recieving a faulty card is to return it and be sent a new one that isn't defective. VERY rarely will a bios update fix it, and that'll void the warranty....

Also, you're saying anyone with an Nvidia card is a Nvidia fanboy? Grow up. I'm about to buy either a 290 Tri-X or a GTX 970.

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=zva64j&s=8#.VBkKhfmSwi4 I'm talking about this,the black lines on the train tracks.Are those artifacts or is it a glitch in the game itself?

 

[Alex Kelly]

Oh, that's the game itself dude 😛 it's called aliasing. Nothing to worry about

Oh ok thanks man.Yea i turned of AA to get better performance.
Edit:http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=4syzgo&s=8#.VBlovPmSwi4 What about this pic.The black marks in front of the headlights,is that anti alisaing or an artifact?

 

[khulet15]

The artifacting issue i can see in any games..?i mean is all the games affect artifacting issue about the new AMD card.

 

[Alex Kelly]

That's aliasing too man, artifacting looks completely different try turning up the AA and the effect you see there will be reduced dramatically. Although it's usually not worth the loss in performance.

Did you update your drivers to 14.7 catalyst?that should solve your problem because all your specs including psu is very good

 

[khulet15]

The beta version.. do think my graphic card is not defective.. just a driver only?

 

[KarthikNS]

Hmm then there is a problem with your graphic card as you are experiencing flickering in both Prototype 2 and Watch Dogs.Try the 14.9 drivers and if there is still flickering change your card

 

[khulet15]

Oh my god.. but when i play gta 4 thier are no any problem that i see? Do think my card is defective?
