Hello sde44

That looks to be a game issue.

I have far cry 4 and I notice a beautiful neon pink and green flashing sometimes but it doesn't happen often like you say.

Other than that it plays fine and I have no problems with any other games.

Does it happen in other games too?

On other games i dont notice that. I can play Far Cry 4 many hours without that artifacts. But sometimes after 10 minutes it can appear like on stated movie above.
Its something wrong with card?

It's hard to say but if it only happens in far cry 4 I would say it's the game.

Have you installed all the patches?

You can also click on games at the top of uplay, click on far cry 4 then click the little black arrow beside play and verify the files.

Strange because playing Watch Dogs, Crysis 3, Heaven i dont see that artifacts. Only in Far Cry 4 but very occasionally i have something like this. Very rarely but of course it is.
So its RMA time? So its again not stable OC even preferred by Asus?

Read my post above and verify the files. I've had it come up saying I had corrupted files before and it fixes them automatically so give that a try.

Even if its happens very randomly it can be driver or game issue not card?

yeah, since it only happens in far cry 4 the issue is with the game.

Did you have any corrupted files?

Its my second Asus Strix 980 and i have almost the same occasionally artifacting only in Far Cry 4. Its because Far Cry 4 dont like any OC even factory or its just a game?
