Title: GV-N580UD-15I (GTX580) - artifacts during a specific effect
Post by: Pekish79 on June 02, 2011, 08:38:38 am
i was playing the Witcher (the first one) and when i drink a potion like "night vision" or with the pulsing effect i see few red artifacts and when the potion effect is over there are no more artifacts...

I was playing the Witcher 2 as well and  i didn't see any artifact (i didn't try many other games yet since the card is new)

It looks to me that there is some specific effect that trigger the artifact it could be due to the driver even if i just installed the new one 275.33 and it didn't change anything from the one before

Since the game is pretty old it could be a DX9 problem and they don't know/care about it.

should i test something specific with the car or should just ignore it as the other games doesn't seem to have any problem?
Does it damage the card if i keep playing the game and ignore the few artifacts? Temperature are fine they never go over 75...

Hi

If the temperatures are ok and you are not having any other problems with other programs/games then I really wouldn't worry. It's not going to do anything detrimental to the card and I have a similar problem after I drink some things so I just lay off them now. ;D
