R9 280 artifacts in Skyrim : Othor Games

» Wed Feb 25, 2015 2:00 am

Ok so I got some games downloaded and am having fun with my new R9 280.... Until I give Skyrim a test run. Keep in mind that until this point I have played Farcry 3 on Ultra and Chivalry: Medieval Combat also on ultra with NO problems and smooth frame rate. (did have a small artifact, small shadow boxes on a road, in Farcry 3 but turning HBAO to SSAO fixed that).

I put in some mods for skyrim and load up a new game to start off in the cell start of Alternate Start Live Another Life...... Artifacts! Artifacts EVERYWHERE!!!!! My mouse is tale trailing, there are bars and grids clipping through the screen and there are rainbow pyramids dancing about my monitor.

HELP!!!!

Clocks : 940

Memory : 1250

Mandatory question: Have you overclocked the card? If so, return it to stock clocks and check to see if there are any problems.

I am using stock clocks. I did actually try to underclock it to the manufacturer clock of 933 but no change. Windows 7 is currently installing a BUNCH of updates (just reinstalled it on a SSD), I thought it had already done it's updates but I guess not. I will test again after they are fully installed though I am doubtful that is the issue.

Currently using the 14.12 drivers btw.
