Ok I had a second to run home, just ran it twice. Both time got some colors popping up, at the very end got some very large green colors popping up before it crashed.

I uninstalled Precision X and restarted before I ran this test. I don't have any other sort of overclocking program such as afterburner. I never attempted to OC the GPU, ever.

Well there you go. Precision X is overclocking software. Now that it is gone, your card should not have anomalies. If it has issues at stock...well....it shouldn't.

Since your GPU is apparently still having issues, as a last resort you can run your CPU and RAM at stock settings. I'm 99.9% sure that the RAM or CPU would not cause graphical artifacts, that is nearly always a GPU overclocking issue.

Failing that, you could reinstall windows from scratch. Maybe the installation is borked......

I tried underclocking as previously mentioned. With -30 MHz on the GPU Clock Offset everything works fine...??

The GPU can't handle the factory overclock, plain and simple. Green flashes in Heaven are a direct result of overclocks that are too high.

Either be happy with a slightly detuned 680 SOC, or try to RMA.

Now, blackened might be mad at you because you seem to have reinstalled Precision X to set a negative offset, but hey, at least you found the problem. 😉

It's not the CPU, it's not the RAM, it's not the PSU, it's not the motherboard. It's the overclock. But honestly, -30 on that card is still really high, so if I were you, I'd just accept it and be happy. You still got a good deal.
 
Yeah we talked on the phone and i went thru all the trouble shooting with him.

Im sorry it has to be down clocked i was running SLI and this card was my #2 and i did not have this issue in SLI.. Must be getting stressed alot harder as a single card..

However 20-30mhz is like 1/2 a fps not a big deal... There is also flashing the Msi lightings Bios onto the card and unlocking full voltage control..

You have my # if u have any issues feel free to call and ill help u the best i can.
