|
 |
I've been playing Empire: Total War lately - and with the 186.18 driver set there is noticeable, albeit random, flickering on the campaign map. Annoying, but not bad enough to warrant a roll back. After about 2 hours though, the artifacts got bad enough to warrant restarting the game.
So, my question, can artifacts related solely to driver issues with a particular game cause permanent damage to the video card? I ask because this GTX 285 is brand new, would be a shame to fuck it up already. The card is stock clocked and runs at 50c idle, 80c stressed.

if temp of your gfx card does not dramatically increase when those artifacts show up then it's just a driver glitch, nothing to worry about
