Hi
This is my story:
9 months ago when I wanted to play NFS Pro Street the screen started to lagging and black boxes appeared on screen. Then I thought that this might be the game's problem. Now today I wanted to play NFS Shift 2. I tried with max and min setting still same, if the game start's screen is much darker than regulary. After playing 1 minute the screen is full of black boxes.
Max temperature of the video card is 62 C which is normal.
I can watch movies and videos fine, even play games with like CS and so on.
When I am connecting my TV with computer, TV screen is flickering.

I tried benchmarking software: http://freestone-group.com and I get my result 380 points, others with same card get 292-402.

Any ideas?
Are there any Video card testing software to figure out what's going on?

Thanks for you time !
 
It sounds like the card is overheating and causing artifacts. If it overheats for long periods of time, then some of the solder connections can become loose, causing the artifacts. Your best bet is to get a new GPU.

Even if the temperature goes only to 62 C?
Or do you mean in some parts of the gpu temperature may rise even higher?

It's possible some parts could get hotter.

Though to say it unlikely that some will be 40+ degrees hotter would be a huge understatement. Overheating isn't the issue here if he is reading 62 degrees, more likely it is either a graphics card error or software error
 
I remember it started after upgraded Nvidia drivers and when I cleaned the GPU card. I did it very carefully with compressed air and I didn't touch any elements there but anything is possible.

There is one thing i cannot understand. Why every video card testing software runs fine and gives good results
