Getting a lot of graphic artifacts.

[Anonymous]

Hey guys.  Lately I’ve been getting a lot of graphic artifacts when I play games.  Things such as walls ending off too early, or weird colors in random spots.  What can this mean?  Is my graphics card failing on me?

I’ve tried updating all my drivers and what not.

The graphics weren’t always like this, it just started recently – which leads me to believe my graphics card is dying.

Is there anything I can do to determine whether or not it’s my graphics card or not?

Run a diagnostic on the graphics card, this can be done by visiting the manufacturer of the card and following their instructions. Diagnostics will determine if there is something broken, decreased speeds due to age, etc…
