I went to log onto WoW and have terrible red artifacts and i was curious as to where my issue might be coming from.
I recently bought a new computer and replaced everything but the Graphic Cards. I do not have any Overclockes right now.
ps. I tried to take a screenshot of it and the screenshot shows no artifacts so could this possibly be due to a monitor that is almost 7 years old.
  Update, connected to another monitor I own and the artifacts are still there.

    It could be a bad video cable most probably.

    Yea I think it's one going bad, I changed the DVI port that it was in and problem solved. so maybe it just be that one DVI port that is burning out.
    Ive been trying to get my hands on a GTX 1080 anyways so i guess this will just push me to buy some sooner.

    I had an entire red/pink screen the other day and started flipping out.  Turns out I just needed to tighten the monitors dvi connector... What a horrible feeling thinking it was my nice 1440P monitor or my 970Gtx!

    I hear yah, it sucks to load a game up and get that nonsense.
    now I'm wondering if i can comfortably fit two 1080 hybrids in my case. ill probally buy one and then get another down the road once i go 4k. i know i can fit one of the radiators in my case comfortably but the second one I'm stumped on where it will fit.
