Green, Red and Blue Lines Appearing During Gameplay

[Johnland82]

Hey Folks,

I seem to be having issues with green, red and blue lines appearing on surfaces of certain light shades. I'm not really sure what the problem is, but it definitely isn't behaving like artifacting would if a GPU is not getting enough power or is damaged.

This doesn't happen in any other games, even though Warhammer Vermintide II pushes my card just about as hard as FFXV.

I currently have no mods installed, and I have enabled Use Nvidia Color Settings in the NVidia control panel.

Has anyone else had this issue?

System specs:

i7 7700HQ
GTX 1070
16GB RAM
1TB WD Blue SSD (This is my game installation drive).

**VERIFIED THAT THE ISSUE IS ONLY PRESENT WHILE G-SYNC IS ENABLED**

I'll leave this up for anyone else who's run into the issue and wondering what is going on. It seems to be related to G-Sync, and as soon as it is disabled manually or automatically through swapping to windowed mode, the lines go away.

This kind of issues called an Artifacts. It means that your Card is overheating and some shader calcualtions are going wrong. You should install an overcloking tool for your Card's brand and turn up the coolers to the max speed. Anyway this is means that your Card is already going to die. If you can return it to the store - do it.

Similar here. Have artifacts in green, edge of clouds, and reflections. Narrowed my problem to fullscreen mode. Shame as visually superior in FS. Will disable Gsync.
Running max + 125%SS

Edit: Yep Gsync here also. Cheers Johnland82

What a bummer, right?

I tried leaving G-Sync off, but I'm hopelessly addicted to smooth gameplya now. I'll just have to get used to those lines.

Apparently rolling back to 388.59 will allow you to use G-Sync without the lines, but who knows what issues I might face with FFXV and Vermintide if I do that.

And I'm lazy, haha.

Haha.....yep, same here, my vis settings are on the high side so gsync was the bomb, might track down 388.59.

Thanks again for the man.

That sounds like him alright.

[Cenobite]

Haha.
Also 388.59 work with gsync, but have dropped frames across the board with a number of games. So yeah....dont do it man.

Or you could just use good ol tried and true Vsync and cap it at 60fps or whatever.

Cenobite:

Thanks for verifying. I figured some of the new games I'm playing would take a hit, so I avoided rolling back my drivers.

Creamy Goodness:

Vsync capped at 60 is vastly different than Gsync. I used to think that Gsync wouldn't make a difference, and that it was mostly in people's heads. After having used it, it's a whole new world of smooth gameplay, and I likely will never go back.
