    Has anyone else had this issue? I am getting tessellation artifacts in several games and on unigine benchmarks. Sorry about the audio I was on the phone with Dell while recording. Apparently I muted the sound as well.

    Yes, it does. This isn't overclocked though and is at stock speeds. Guess I just rolled a bad card.

    It also happens at stock speed (I had artifacts twice), so make sure that you complaint to AW so that they finally release a fix.

    Hello, nice that you posted this video.

    I just had the call of a french technical representative, i tell him all what we know today about micron problems, and what they shoud do.

    I think that he understood pretty well what i was talking about.

    To back up the problem to a higher level in order to make things move, he asked me to send him for tomorrow(14/02) all what we have (screenshot, videos and minidump)

    So : more you give me to send him, more evidence we have, and better are the chance to have a new vbios ;)

    I really count on your reports ;)


    Have a nice evening


    Nico
