Hello. When playing Far Cry 4 sometimes on my screen i can see a flicker single black line. Its very rarely but its happens. I even find the same problem on youtube in other user. But he got Msi 980 OC to 1570mhz. I have Asus Strix 980 but my OC is only by default factory and i have the same problem. I dont OC manually my card. Its game or card issue?

I upload a movie ( 0:27 i 0:33 seconds ) with problem and 2 screens. Check :

Hello sde444

It looks like a game issue to me. Your strix 980 is performing well with far cry 4.

When you come to the spot(s) that gives you the black line and you stand there, is the line always there or does it go away? If it's always there, it's a game issue.

No.It go away and its not always on the same places. And its very rarely on different places.

Hmmm well it doesn't look like artifacting to me. Would you have another game to play to see if it still happens? I know you said it happens with you tube also.

Can you try another game?

If more than one user is facing the exact same problem, then it's an issue with the game.

I doubt its game issue. I have also sometimes that kind of flickering like here:

My card is OC only by factory. Strix 980. I must Rma ?

I am using the newest patch 1.05 and the newest drivers. Other games runs fine without that occasionally artifacting. Only Far Cry 4. Help guys. I must RMA card then? Temps are 75C max.

It can be too because i have too small case for that card or this is not possible?

I have Centurion Master 590.

I watched the video you posted above my post and that does look like artifacting. You could try lowering the gpu memory speed just a little to see if it goes away.

If it does go away, then you can decide whether to run the gpu memory speed a little lower or do an RMA. if it does not go away then it is more than likely the game. This is why I asked you to try another game to see if it still happens.

Do you have a gpu overclocking program installed? gpu tweak, precisionx and afterburner are all great overclocking tools and you can adjust the memory speed.

I did notice at one point where there is a white spot that flashes. I get that too at certain places in far cry 3, but it is always at the same place so I know it is a game issue for me.

No in other games and benchmarks i dont have that kind of artifacting. Only Far Cry 4 occasionally.
I dont have any gpu overclocking program installed.
