Artifacting with R7 260x 2GD5 OCV1

Hello Forum members, you guys are probably gonna have fun with this one
I recently installed a new R7 260x in my system and have been having problems with it that are driving me crazy (and trust me its a pretty long drive). After the install, I have been having artifacts (dancing red pixels) show up in the darker areas of my screen, and I have traced the issue back to the card under the fact of it does it with every display. Also, in some games, skyrim especially, I have been having distortion of the objects on the loading screens. Other than that the card runs just fine, but I am unsure of what the issue is here. I filed a support ticket and heard back from a tech with troubleshooting tips that worked to no avail. I am also sure that the PCI-E slot is working because my old gpu worked just fine in it also. I checked for a mainboard bios update with Live Update 5 and it said my BIOS was up to date. If it helps, my system specs are below
CPU: AMD FX-6120 (scrapped from an old Hp tower that my family was going to sell since we bought a computer to replace it)
RAM: 8gb Kingston (Don't have the model number since it is from that old Hp tower also)
Mobo: Msi 970a-g43 (chose it since this was a bit of a budget build)
GPU Msi R7 260x 2GD5 OCV1
Old GPU: Hp Radeon HD 7450
PSU: Rosewill Hive 750 watt
Windwos 8.1 64 bit

Hey, I haven't checked this forum in a while but nice to see it is still active. Got news to report on this. I sent the card back to newegg and received the replacement yesterday. This is a good one. After installing it yesterday, it ran perfectly fine. I booted up this morning and the artifacts returned much worse and blue this time. Plus windows I minimized were leaving outlines of were they were sitting and a bit of ghosting, along with the image distortion. So, to try something, I rebooted my system and after the reboot it worked just fine. I'm at school right now so I can't test it to see if it happens again but when I get a chance I will let you guys know.

MSI R7 260X 2GD5 OCV1 comparability with Dell XPS 435MT

I have a Dell XPS 435MT with an i7920 processor. I have upgraded the system to a 600 Watt power supply. Will the R7 260X work in this system? The motherboard has a PCI 16e slot, but is only PCI 2.0. The R7 is PCI Express 3.0. Will there be any comparability problems? Thanks!

We can't tell you. PCI- E should be fine. While AMD cards' downwards compatibility is not as good as nvidia cards' it should still work, theoretically. Only Dell can confirm if their machine is compatible with current generation vgas. Besides PCI-E an old bios not supporting current vgas can still spoil any chance of running the card.

Same here.
The card is using Elpida W4032BABG-50-F chips which are supposed to be 5.0GHz by design.

Core Clock Issue of MSI R7-260x 2GD5 OC

I just bought an MSI R7-260x 2GD5 OC.
In the official website, the core clock and memeory frequency are 1175 Mhz and 6500 Mhz respectively.
However, the figures shown in Afterburner are 1050 Mhz and 6000 Mhz (4*1500 Mhz).
Is it a defective product? Or it means I can always overclock the card to 1175 Mhz and 6500 Mhz ?
The driver is the latest version downloaded from AMD official site.
The version of AfterBurner is 2.3.1.

Looks like a R7-260X but clockrates justr match the non-oc R7-260X 1GD5. In some local markets there might also be a non-oc 2GB version. Add a pic of the box and retry with latest Afterburner version: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=161235.msg1277518#msg1277518

N750TI-2GD5/OCV1 legacy/hybrid bios switch

Hi,
Is there a physical switch to change between legacy/hybrid bios on this card (N750TI-2GD5/OCV1)?
I know that the switch exists on these models (byt they're too big for my small/mid-size HP computer):
N750TI TF 2GD5/OC
N750TI-2GD5/OC

Check this list from MSI website, N750TI-2GD5/OCV1 seems doesn't have hybrid bios switch.
http://event.msi.com/2014/vga/Hybrid_BIOS/
But you can flash to GOP vbios with non-UEFI OS first, then don't need to worry about the hybrid bios switch.
Better to check if the graphics card have GOP vbios or not before you buy it.

[SOLVED] Artifacts with EXAPixmap ON and KMS with ATI OSS drivers

I had some problems for many months on my Arch Linux installation and I couldnt figure out what was causing it, so, because I found the sollution, I wanted to post it here and share it with you.
I, like others, was experiencing huge artifacts with KMS and EXAPixmaps on, on various cases, visuals and textures. After fiddling with all radeon options in xorg.conf and KMS on/off I found out thats its best for me to have KMS on (I couldnt play wine games otherwise) and EXAPixmaps off. But then again, when EXAPixmaps was off, I had poor 2D performance with KMS on, Xrender acceleration wasnt working and was falling back to software engine. Solution came from something that was brought to my attention in this topic. I ve set ARGB visuals off, raster engine for rendering and tried EXAPixmaps on.
It worked! Everything are as they supposed to be. Xrender engine and composite manager are finally working, no more artifacts. Framebuffer memory on my radeon card was somehow cleared. I then later found out an awkward solution on how to clear it by demand... Start X with vesa driver... then fix again xorg.conf back to radeon driver and reboot.
Now I have both 2D and 3D acceleration, I am logged in with KDE and have good performance. My glxgears output is 1000 to 1150 fps (vsync off) and I am using Xrender for the KDE desktop effects.
EDIT: I must clarify that I have an ATI Radeon 9200 Mobility M9+ (R200 serries)

I 've made some more edits and this is my current xorg.conf
http://pastebin.com/x6ubG80K
I have ColorTiling set on for performance, be careful as it may be resource hungry in 3D apps but it increases dramatically fps.
You can try setting off EXAPixmaps as well and see how it goes, but then you ll have poor 2D performance and yet videos will play just fine either way.

LR 2.3 artifacts with NEF files

I get some strange artifacts with a small number of my NEF files (Nikon D700) and LR 2.3, Here is an example compared to Nikon's Capture NX2. Sharpening is different but it is not the root of the problem, artifacts are still visible with 0 sharpening and no other adjustment.

Too high of the "Recovery" slider value on an image like this will will cause an ugly discontinuity along the juncture between the brightest areas that the Recovery slider affects and the midtone areas that it doesn't, because the dimmer parts of the bright areas have been darkened more than the brighter parts of the dimmer areas, if that makes sense.
Use more of the Toning curve and less of the Recovery slider. Overuse of the Fill slider can have the same affect along the edge between the mid-tone ahd shadow-area boundary. For an extreme image, I'd probably export to Photoshop and use the more sophisticated and controllable Shadow/Highlights operation.

MSI R7 260X 2GD5 OC - Mantle Included?

Hello everyone.
I would like to know if this graphic card MSI R7 260X 2GD5 OC have Mantle included in its features. On the website (MSI.com) has no reference about it.
Thanks a lot for the help!

its a AMD GCN Architecture card so it should support Mantle but you will be required to use the latest AMD drivers from AMD them-self for that series of cards directly as they are the ones implementing mantle itself and its in its infancy!
http://www.amd.com/us/press-releases/pages/amd-radeon-r9-2013sept25.aspx <--- your R7-260X GPU is listed as supporting Mantel as that is what allows it!

SLI N660Ti-2GD5/OC with N660Ti PE 2GD5/OC

Hello
Am new to this whole graphics card thing, having just decided to get back into gaming after a 20 year break (left off with the original Nintendo - wow what a change!), and am looking to SLI the two subject cards. I started off with the N660Ti-2GD5/OC and just purchased a N660Ti PE 2GD5/OC.
I had read that as long as both cards are the same chip/family, SLI isn't a problem. However, since purchasing the PE card I've read that both should have the same clock speeds, which these two cards don't have. The N660Ti-2GD5/OC is 941MHz Core (Boost Clock:1019.5MHz) where as the PE/OC is 1019MHz Core (Boost Clock:1097MHz).
I've never overclocked anything, but afterburner makes it look pretty simple. Would my best strategy be to OC the N660Ti-2GD5/OC to the same level as the stock PE card, then tweak both up in parallel from there? Can afterburner set both the base clock as well as the boost clock?
Will get the new card in the next couple of weeks, so at this point am looking for some advance info...
Thanks

Thanks guys. I agree with the 680 opposed to the 660 sli. In my home rig, which was my second build, that's exactly what I did thinking if I wanted to skip the 700 series, could simply sli the 680 at a later date. For my first build (work location PC with 660ti), I wasn't really sure how the whole thing worked and just kind of learned as I went. Am still planning on skipping the 700 series, so hopefully 660ti SLI will continue to do a good job, even with the newer games optimized for the new console generation.
GTX660 is a mid-range GPU.
In my opinion, if you want to skip the 700 series, you also need to get rid of those GTX660.
As you can see, 2x GTX670 in SLI are as good as a single GTX690 and close to 2x GTX680 in SLI.
If you cannot afford a GTX690, just buy 2x GTX670.
2x GTX670 in SLI is probably the best price/performances compromise.

Intel i915 Video Artifacts with Xorg 1.9

Hey everyone. I set up Arch with my girlfriend on her Asus U81A earlier tonight, but we're getting some terrible video artifacting and I can't seem to find us a solution. Basically the screen often fails to refresh after things even as simple as typing - lots of black boxes. Is anyone getting the same behavior? Has anyone come across a solution? Here are her versions of the pertinent packages. I'm not sure if this is just a conflict with the new xorg 1.9 or what... I tried specifying the intel driver manually via both mkinitcpio.conf and GRUB (where you modeset=1). Neither helps at all.
gnome-desktop 2.32.0-1
xorg-server 1.9.0-1
xf86-video-intel 2.12.0-3
Thanks to anyone who has info on this subject.

the 60ish fps is perfectly right since the intel drivers are now syncing to vblank

Graphical artifacts with DX11 (and OGL4) on imac 27" late 2012 GTX 675 MX

Hello, dear community! I have the imac 27" late 2012 with graphical card GTX 675 MX.
In Mac OS X 10.8.5 all works perfect. Software, games (Bioshock Infinity), benchmarks (heaven 4.0). But in windows...
I was installed Windows 8, then 7, then 8 again, and every time after installing nvidia drivers (with BootCamp, or manually downloaded from nvidia site) i have some graphical artifacts ("||" randomly on the screen). On win 7 it was only in games (like Bioshock Infinity or Tomb Raider), on win 8.1 everywhere(on desktop and in games). In DX9 games (like World Of Tanks) all perfect, in DX10/11 games (BI or TR) - artifacts. After thousend of tests i run Heaven Unigine 4.0 with OpenGL(other settings the same) in macos and in windows(on 7 and on 8), for checking some hardware issue if it exists. But on mac os x, as i already said, all is perfect, but on windows - randomly appers artifacts.
I record a video to illustrate my problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwEog66vfFk&feature=youtu.be
Help me please! People in service told me that this is not a guarantee issue

I assume you have GPU-Z and other tools to look at gpu. the imac falls between notebooks and desktops when it comes to graphics. and it may be some programs just are not written for that graphic device? possibly?
I've been on Windows 8.1 mostly along with 8.0 and graphic drivers have been "bumpy road" at times and I was able to swap out and use different graphic cards on my PC - had me thinking I had an SSD related issue, then replaced memory (those were bad it turned out, and could have caused drivers and system errors).
Windows has memtest on the DVD and I have seen one or three people with real problems that did not show up until they did more tests, even though Mac OS was blindly oblivious to anything being wrong (it was, they upgraded RAM and SO-DIMM was not fully seated in one case, in another the RAM module had to be replaced).
Extended Tests using Apple Hardware Test is not conclusve and almost never ever when comes to finding gpu or memory 'errors.' There you are better with Windows test utility.

BUG: Indesign CC 2014 - significant image artifacts with 'export as JPG'

Issue
Spreads exported from InDesign as maximum quality JPGs have heavy artifacts not present in PDF's with equivalent image compression settings.
Steps
Export spread to JPG (max, baseline, 300ppi)
Export spread to PDF (image compression set to JPG, maximum)
Compare both files in Photoshop at 100%
Results
Maximum quality JPGs are significantly artifacted.
Expected Results
Maximum quality JPGs should be identical to PDF images with equivalent image compression settings (and should be virtually indistinguishable from original files sized equivalently in Photoshop (and saved via Photoshop's 'Save for Web').
Please Note
I'm very familiar with the limitations of JPG's in pre-press work. Please trust that I have legitimate reasons for needing InDesign to export spreads as JPGs with the same image quality as is possible when exporting as a PDF (or using Photoshop's 'Save For Web' function with the source file sized identically as the spread in question.)
Samples
exhibit A: spread exported as PDF (compression set to JPG, maximum quality)
exhibit B: spread exported as JPG (maximum quality)

Rob,
Thank you for running your test!
Since posting (and just before reading your reply), I discovered an additional constraint on replicating the issue:
–it only appears when the linked image has been upscaled* (in my example, 107.1%)
*keep in mind, the PDF was upscaled to the same degree, ruling out it being solely an upscaling issue
–testing at 'even-magnification' scales (i.e. 150%) simply resulted in increased pixelation compared to the same PDF export (see samples below)
–testing at 'odd-magnification' scales (i.e. 101%) generated random artifacts (like those visible in the samples of my initial post)
–as such, this is likely more of a resampling/aliasing issue than jpg-artifacting.
That is, it would seem that upscaled images seem to enjoy a higher-quality resampling method when exported as PDFs.
I'd be curious to see how your test fared with upscaled images.
samples
image scaled at 150%, exported as PDF (compression set to JPG, maximum quality)
image scaled at 150%, exported as JPG (maximum quality, anti-alias**)
**tested with & without anti-aliasing, results were identical

Image Artifacts with Aperture, not ACR or Capture One?

I generally use Capture One, but for the first time I’m using Aperture to process a series of photos from a just-completed trip to northern Arizona/southern Utah. I’ve been very impressed with Aperture’s workflow, and would very much like to make Aperture my primary tool for managing my photos.
However, tonight I discovered some very unsettling artifacts in the prints that I made in Photoshop using files that Aperture converted from RAW. Upon closer inspection, the artifacts also appear in Aperture, when I zoom in. But interestingly, neither Capture One nor Adobe Camera Raw shows these artifacts to nearly the same degree. Scroll down for examples of the artifact as seen in Aperture, Adobe Camera Raw, Capture One, and Photoshop.
For completeness, here are the specifics of my configuration:
Canon 1Ds RAW images
PowerMac G5 dual 2.5 GHz
OSX 10.4.7
Aperture 1.1.2
Photoshop CS
Capture One Pro 3.7.4
Here is the photo in which I first discovered the artifacts, which are visible in the full-sized image and on the print, but not in this small jpeg:
The artifacts I’m referring to are regularly-spaced train track-looking things in certain sections of the sandstone. The issue can be seen on 100% crops taken from the left side, about 1/3 of the way down from the top. Here is the area as it appears in Aperture using View > Zoom to actual size:
And here are the Aperture adjustments that I made:
Okay, I used Open With External Editor, to load the image into Photoshop – at its original size. Here is the same area, viewed at 100%, and the artifacts are plainly visible:
Notice that the artifacts appear in much the same way they did in Aperture. Just as a test, I used Aperture to “Export” the image as a 16-bit TIFF format, and then opened in Photoshop. Same artifacts as before:
For comparison I opened the same RAW file in Capture One. The artifacts are barely discernable! :
And here are the Capture One settings I used:
And here is the Capture One conversion as it appears in Photoshop, viewed at 100%. Again, the artifacts are essentially absent:
The image dimensions are almost exactly (but not quite) the same as the image that Aperture converted.
And, although it’s not part of my usual workflow, I converted the image using Adobe Camera Raw. The results show that, like Capture One, ACR doesn’t exhibit these artifacts (although it does show a bit more chromatic aberration):
Just to be clear, these artifacts ARE visible in my 16 x 24” print.
It’s a bit discouraging that, on my first serious attempt at using Aperture, I discovered these artifacts. It may be that this is a rare event with Aperture – or maybe not.
Has anyone else seen this sort of thing? Are there other discussions of the issue? And last but not least, can anyone suggest a way that I might avoid this in the future?
Thanks!

G5 Dual 2.5 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Here is another example of this effect, but with a different type of subject matter: a ball. The original is a raw file from a Canon 350D/Digital Rebel.
In Aperture's Zoom mode there is a pattern on the ball that looks like Maze Craze:
The pattern is maintained to a lesser degree as the image is sized down:
Exported as Original Size png:
Exported as Half Size png:
Now, as pointed out in the earlier post, the real problem is that other apps do not have this problem. The following is from ACR:
Aside from the pattern, Aperture does look better, but the pattern is nasty and almost makes the image unusable.

Digital Artifacts with 7.2

I have been successfully running a setup in which other applications - Finale and Digital Performer - - play Logic's audio instruments through Interapplication MIDI using the IAC drivers. This has worked well with Logic 6.4.3, 7, 7.1 and 7.1.1. After updating the OS to 10.4.3 (and later 10.4.4 and 10.4.5) and Logic to 7.2 playback is now marred by clicks, pops and hiccups when either Finale or DP are the MIDI source. These artifacts occur most often when the score (in Finale) or graphic representation (in DP) scrolls to the next page). These noises do not appear to happen when Logic 7.2 alone is the playback medium - - although I have not yet tested it with a complex file.
Interestingly enough when, using Finale 2005 as the MIDI source (with Finale reading a saved playback file and scrolling turned off) I bounce to an audio file in Logic, the audio file does not appear to contain these artifacts. This suggests the possibility that the noises occur during DA conversion and are not present in the digital output.
I would very much prefer not to have to go back to OS 10.4.2 and Logic 7.1.1 if there is another solution. I would very much appreciate any insights or suggestions. Thanks.

Unwanted visual artifacts with mastered DVD

My mastered DVD has unwanted visual artifacts resulting from a video recording of a dance recital that contained taped markings on a stage floor This visual disturbance does not appear with raw footage or compressed file but only with mastered DVD. Tried changing field order with each subsequent build but still get wavy lines that fluctuate. Any one dealt with similar situation before? Any suggestions?

We had the same issues with artifacts which appeared wavy, especially during fast movements. We read several forums and attempted different methods with no results to solve the issue. Finally, we discovered a solution!
We use Adobe Premiere CC and 6.
Recorded footage AVCHD 1080i
AVCHD 1080i30 (60i)
Make sure you have your footage in the correct editing sequence setting.
When exporting the auto settings appeared to compress the footage in interlace format which made artifacts on the screen on a progressive TV.
In Premiere Export in MPEG2 (Not MPEG2-DVD)
Select HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality (Or the format you recorded at but select P for progressive)
Export your video.
Afterwards import into Encore or your DVD authoring program.
Unfortunately, if your using Premiere with the dynamic link option to connect from Premiere to Encore there's a known bug that prevents from fixing this issue.
For an average dance recital the compressed file should be larger than the 4.7GB DVD size but once imported into Encore the program should allow the footage to fit onto the DVD. Otherwise, depending on your program you may need to change your export compressing settings to allow for the video to fit.
