Describe the artefacts a bit more. Maybe take a mobile pic and post it?
Artefacts are always bad... like "something is broken" bad... :|
Oh shit
A VGA crapped itself once here, I had vertical yellow lines all over the screen. That was the VRAM and it got burned out.
I guess the vram could be responsible, but then it still doesnt make sense that the artifacts occur even with gpu disabled.By GPU disabled, you mean that you're running off the integrated GPU of an Intel CPU/mobo?
Well.
Easiest way would be to.. but you would have done it anyway.. you know, replaceable parts to find out what's wrong.
If you suspect the PSU, we need one to try. A working video card no matter how crappy could be useful.
By GPU disabled, you mean that you're running off the integrated GPU of an Intel CPU/mobo?
Or disabling the hardware acceleration?
I may have a gtx560ti laying around, and possibly a huge psu aswell unless it has been thrown out after gathering dust for a long time. (Wouldve used it but it didnt fit my case)
Im insanely lazy so before i crack open my computer i will first have get something thats a bigger hazzle to be put on my to do list. Also chances are ill forget how things were, or i will simply fuck things up further.
Booted safe mode and in device manager i disabled my gpu, so i think im running on mobo thingy.
GPU or no, im still able to play stone soup and god its fun.
You reach out to hit something. You heal something. Xom thinks its hilarious.
Based Xom.
My problem was due to ESEA putting a bitcoin farmer in their client which burned out my gpu, luckily they paid to have it replaced. But i've also heard of some background effects on main menus that are poorly optimized overheating GPU's. There was a serious problem with the background ember effects on the main menu of Dota 2 that apparently fried and overheated people's GPU's during the beta because they were poorly optimized, so I guess it's possible even from a non demanding game to have poor optimization.
Just take the gpu out and run it from the onboard graphics, if there's no lines then it's the GPU.
Is your monitor still plugged into it?
How old and what psu
I doubt they'd cause that unless you were really close to maxing it anyway.
Reason I'm saying unplug the GPU is cos if your monitor is still plugged into the GPU it's still sending information through it to the HDMI or VGA port or whatever. Get rid of it completely run with onboard graphics and use your motherboard ports to completely bypass the GPU. If you're not getting artifacts without the GPU then it's something on the GPU that's the issue.
Suck it Jona if you're reading this thread/post!! I knew there was a reason rocket car soccer and I were never going to work out! It's the work of the devil....slaying cpu's unsolved mystery style...
It's either on the graphics card or the motherboard or you've got some kind of magic going on.
If it's a tower case the motherboard will have the ports going vertically most of the time and the graphics card will have them going horizontally.
That's awkward, what type of plug is it?
You might need an adapter, or better yet if you can go to a friends house and just bring your monitor and GPU, you could rule out whether it's your monitor or GPU.
That's a converter which is exactly what you need, you have a dvi cable and you need a dvi to vga converter, check around your house a lot of monitors came with them for free. Also check to see if your monitor has any other ports, if so you could just buy a vga cable which might be easier to get ahold of.
Also fuck you, you Xom heretic! Corpses for Trog!
You could also go buy a graphics card from a large retail store just to test it out then return it, they usually have a manufacturers return policy of 15-30 days for multiple reasons.
That's what I do with my underware - I return them back to the shop after a week, so I don't have to wash them myself. And if they ask any questions, I tell them that my balls were sweating too much. They usually give me an evil eye, since I only buy thongs and they have a decent ventilation, but there is no law against it so they have to take it back.

Why after a week? i thought you switched underwear every day?

Sorry man, it was just something I told you when you complained about my dick tasting fishy... 8-)
Can't believe there are inept developers out there who make games that can brick your GPU. I don't know how logical this sounds to you but if I were you, I would do whatever it takes to sue those damn bastards. This is inacceptable.
I finally took my lazy ass the time to switch out my gpu to the 560ti i had saved. And indeed it was the 670 that had broken down. Will see if i have a reciept around so mabe i can get a refund or a new one.Good luck :?

It's never the game's responsibility to protect your hardware. It's the driver's responsibility. That said, most games do not actually test those limits.
550w PSU is what i have, so anything that can go with that, read that 970 can, and since that seems to be a safe bet for future games too for not too much moolah, ill probably get one.
Still this is the first time I am hearing about a GPU-maiming game. Have there been any other examples?I've heard of games that have no FPS limit in their menus and those are simplistic and undemanding enough to make the FPS go sky-high. Dunno if that's the case here.
