Is it a driver issue or my GPU somewhat faulty?

on my p34w i decided to try and see how bf4 faired on ultra on campaign and i get to certain bit before some parts of the screen gets black. but im checking the fps on screen and it remains the same speed it was before some of the graphics turns black. i went through some of the settings from ultra down to low and only low fixed the problem. i played on dying light on maximum and everythings fine. so is it a driver conflict or my install was bad or is my gpu a duff one?
btw my gpu was 84c checking on ultra and cpu was mid 90s. but there was no throttling
any light shed is welcome. thanks

I remember this being an issue with bf4

 

ok. thats cool i kinda of thought it was with my fps not dropping. i deleted the folder from my document shortly after and then repaired it. and where i was getting it from has vanished. but it made me wary. however i tested 3d mark 11 and 13 and my scores improved. temps a little high with the cpu and gpu but i havent repasted it yet.

3d mark 11 p8680 to p9234
3d mark 13 6505 to 6692
skydiver 17184 to 18364

so it cant be playing up. so im quite pleased.

i will prob try those other suggestions. it prob give me extra fps but im in line with what the review benchmarks get from bf4 of around 54 fps on ultra so thanks

 

Yea it looks a issue with the game, since the other is working
By the way, your GPU is too hot! Or it it normal?
On my aorus x7(different model), my 2 gpus never get more than 63.

 

Hi,
Unfortunately it's normal for the P34W. The X7 has vastly superior cooling to the P34W.

Not dangerous for any of the components though. It throttles if temps get too high.

 

well im glad the temps was normal. but yea it was an issue with the game. but in the end i had to RMA my laptop
