Hello everyone,

I started running into directx crashes and artifacts in Battlefield 4 after updating my drivers to 13.11 betas.

My clocks are set at stock speed and/or are hardly even overclocked (1000 core, 1450 mem and 1.050v set at constant voltage and 15% power control). Same goes for CPU, at stock speeds.

Fairly new rig, couldn't be uplorry so quick bah... :(

Also, when i do a YT search for 'BF4 Artifacts' almost all the cards that showed up as results were either 1) AMD GPU or 2) 280x/7970. Not bluffing, you can do a search too.

Any advices/tips and help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

------>
On crossfire r9 280x. Min 82 average 95 max 120.

On latest beta drivers. No artifacts. No drivers crash. On stock speed. Only difference is the first batch r9 280x bios is slightly older.

The only bad time I had was operation locker where people spam grenade launcher and choke up the whole room with smoke. That will give me 65fps

bf4 spawn system is a joke.
Hahaha.... BF4's spawn system is indeed a bit wonky.

Sometimes at the start of a dom/tdm round on Dawnbreaker, enemy will spawn next to you near C flag (Statue).

Also, anybody can help me out? Anything that i can do to check for stability?

The last time i was on 13.9 WHQL, i never had any driver crashes or artifacts for a good month or so.

One more thing, the driver never crash (no "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered"). But instead i'll get a directx error. Then will start getting artifacts even when scrolling in browser. Must restart for it to go away.

Revert back old driver ba. Don't use beta. Wait for full release probably with mantle then jump over.

Artifacts when opening a picture or when loading cod ghosts which gives a black screen and driver crashes.

Not sure if i should attribute this as a driver issue or not...

Artifacts and crashes only appear on BF4. When i run Crysis 3 for a good 30 minutes at mid-high settings, the game never artifacts.

Only when playing BF4 my GPU usage is at about 40ish percent. Whereas Crysis 3 is full-load 99%.

Same goes for MSI Kombustor and Heaven 4.0.

DICE needs to fix their game..
