Experiencing this error in BF3. Not sure if it's a  setting or if I need to RMA it.

Wow, havent seen that one for awhile.... (was very common at release, I must have fixed hundreds with the same problem)
 
Please post your system specs and OS version.
Once I know your setup the fix is quite easy, there is -nothing- wrong with the videocard

There is no error code. I'm not sure what this is called, screen tearing or artifacting, but it's just this constant glitch of texture wherever I aim at.

 
Oh now i see it. Thats a driver error. What driver are you on?

Its NOT a driver error
This issue is caused by improper Vram loading and/or a Precision/Afterburner corruption.
 
The fix is quite easy, I just need to know what exact model of videocard and the OS version

It's a vanilla 2gb 670, and my OS Is Windows 7 Premium.

Wow, never seen that cursor error on a 2gig Vram card before

This is probably being caused by your Browser loading condition when launching BF3 out of Battlelog....

Please reboot your system to the desktop
Open your default browser (the one battlelog uses) to its home page.
Now -minimize- the browser homepage
Open Precision and check the GPU Memory use, please post back the current Vram load seen 

 
it's at 34% Card's running a little hot right now because its almost 100 degrees where I live.

As suspected a 680mb Vram load, with just the browser homepage open.....
That would do it

Do you live in the U.S.?
If so I will PM you my Phone number and we can go thru just what all that needless Vram loading is and clean it up....
Nominal Vram loading should be well under 125mb at launch using Win 7 

 
the reason its so high is beacuse my card is at 54C and my cards running at about 890mhz, when I load up BF it goes anywhere from 70-110%

Huh?

I wanted to know the VRAM (GPU Memory) loading is (with browser open to home page) as reported out of Precision.
(shown below)


Please post the number shown by the RED arrow, when the default browser is open to its home page

where can I find that in precision? I was giving you the power percentage being used.

So where can I find the gpu usage in Precision I can't find it.

Double click anywhere in the box with the (3) graphs at the bottom of Precision
This will OPEN the full graphs panel, scroll down to MEMORY USEAGE 

Do you live in the U.S.?
If so I will PM you my number and assist you

  I used GPU-Z instead and it's reading 120-128mb for my GPU usage.
 Precision also says the same thing.
 
I do live in the U.S. if you want to Pm me your number you can.

OK thats better and in the "normal" range....

So, do you live in the US or not?
I can walk you thru fixing this over the phone in just a few minutes

Typing will take forever as all kinds of things need to be checked...
At this point it should NOT be a VRAM issue (unless you have been messing around in the NVCP)
That leaves the RTSS bug (corruption) or your videocard has lost some memory (failure)

 
go ahead and pm me your number.

Well..... after two hours on the phone.... 
  
A broken Nvidia driver install and good old Realmware..... 
He has still to complete his DLC patches, but he is now squared away for his Nvidia driver install, Precision and Realmware is no longer rebuilding a broken config file every time he starts BF3 
  
He is going to complete his BF3 patching and post up a screenshot. 
We will meet again tomorrow on the phone if any issues are still present after properly patching. 
  
Booya 

that is artifacting my friend.

Is this -before- completing the BF3 patching? or After? 

OK...
 
Hold on a minute... you played while downloading the patch to get the screenshot?
 
Please download and install the free Unigine Valley benchmark
-->http://unigine.com/products/valley/download/
 
At the launching screen use the -Extreme HD- Preset
Now launch and run the benchmark.
 
Takes just a few minutes. Please report back if -any- artifacts are seen...
 
I am not willing to call your card defective yet, until we are able to reproduce the artifacts in other games and benchmarks.
*It could simply be a borked BF3 install, and given all the things you have tried and done to get BF3 working, if we dont see any problems in the Benchmark I am going to suggest Uninstalling BF3 completely and reinstalling it....
