Issue: Most graphic hungry games, at stock speeds of the gpu, run the game but the screen goes black for 1-2 seconds and comes back, and does so repeatedly with artifacts
GPU shows 90-100% load while this happens. I first found this issue in BF3 and mafia 2, didn't try others. My previous card XFX GTS250 ran without a problem. So, does 550 ti take more power ? If so is this issue happening because my psu can't handle it ? Then how much power should I need to run my components ? I thought a VX450 can nearly handle a 560
I tried underclocking the card using MSI afterburner, to about 20% and everything runs fine...but that's not a permanent fix
