not 100% this games fault but seeing alot of white dots on my screen...

[NexAngelus *X*]

ok so i have seen this recently in warframe and most notiably in dying light. in the blackest areas little white dots flicker and dance about. was rather annoying in dying light and since in space u can imagine that my screen is full of the little ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

i looked around for dying light and nothing i found was exactly the same.

now i tried to reinstall the latest nvidia drivers *these or the last batch is what started it since i play warframe often enough and never had the issues* no change at all. i have checked my tv and cables and no effect either. the ODD part is i took a screenshot a bit ago and when looking at it...dam thing is perfectly normal!

its really bad in this game, anyone have ANY idea for some more things i could try?

Those are artifacts, a sign that your video card is going bust.

From what I read from other's posts, this game is both badly optimised and is extremely heavy on your GPU. I think I saw someone saying their gtx 1080 was runnin at 80 deg. or something along those lines.

Rip GPU.

That or you overclocked your GPU poorly and ... rip GPU

Ok this is more helpful than stuff I found previously. One thing on a tech site was saying something how light was processed and angles....

I thought of heat and turned off my comp all night. Will try to see if I can clean some dust out and if that helps. Thanks for the advice

I’m kinda wondering how many people having this issue are overclocking their GPUs.

My 480 is getting pushed a bit by the game but no more then XCom 2 pushes it. Still staying around 70 degrees.

Honestly 80 isnt that hot. Still within operational specs for a 1080.

i dont OC anything. must just be something faulty with my card. its only 2-3 years old. 980ti ftw. i just ordered a 1080 ftw2 to replace it. dont have enough cash on hand to get a 1080ti ftw ;). kinda annoying but no big deal. like i said i notice it in other games just its VERY annoying in this one.

This. 80 is definately on the warm side and I'd keep an eye on it for spikes but it can take the heat.

...2 to 3 years old is, no offense, elderly AF for a GPU on new release titles.

Artifacting is not always hardware, it could be poor programming of the game's graphics. Try updating your video drivers first and verifying the integrity of the game files.

dude... dust will kill a PC... clean that ♥♥♥♥ like once or twice a month lol especially if you have pets!!!

ya i reinstalled the drivers. i am normally really good with dust. i have a compressor i can easily blow everything out. but i just moved to NC and ♥♥♥♥ is everywhere and ya. so who knows. its weird that only a handful of games i notice it in. its pro something to do with both. hardware and programming. been playing kenshi all week and didnt see anything. warframe is pretty light u dont really notice it. dying light and BT are both HORRIBLE with the dots.

i got my 980 ti like 1-2 months before 1080s came out. SOOO if u have a 1080 ur card is just as old as mine. so no its NOT an old card. till now i have always had the flagship cards and most expensive versions. they are not built like ♥♥♥♥. they last a long time. i still have two 8800s sitting around and they worked fine last time i played with them.

for how wet and cold this part of nc is... seems like alot of extra dust than im use to.

[:WTF: Grendel]

Nex, it could be your GPU got damaged during the move dude... I've had to replace components here and there during my moves over the years... or the thermal paste on the processor needs replacement on the GPU.

yaaa that was my guess :( moves are famous for breaking ♥♥♥♥ :(
