Weird-ass problem with new computer and world of warcraft
SeventhSandwich:
I had this artifact problem with my old GTX 560 Ti several times over its lifespan. Here's what caused it:
* Drivers were out of date/bad (I might have rolled-back, can't remember)
* Power cable to my motherboard/GPU was loose (unplugged and replugged it)
* Card overheated (cleaned out my fans and case)
* VRAM finally died and artifacts started coming whenever I played games (replaced card with 1070)
Try the first 3 things, and then if that doesn't work, RMA that stuff.
Daswiruch:
im about to try those things but here's some info: i'm not getting artifacting while i'm playing wow. i only get artifacts when it hangs on the single frame and then my computer restarts. it's like it drops to 1 frame per year and then restarts itself with the green stuff. the green stuff is not there during gameplay.
Verification:
don't play wow

Wow, some really loving great help here you guys.
I usually experienced this when my 260 was kicking the bucket and only once while playing Overwatch and my PC overheated. It's a hardware thing, and if it happens often you need to return it and get a new one.
Daswiruch:
im gonna return the card and get a different brand one if some settings changes don't fix the problem
thanks to all the ones who helped
