Obraxis said to post about this, and noone has yet.

If you watch <a href="http://www.twitch.tv/blindns2/b/331622509" target="_blank">blinds cast</a> of the final, there are increasing amounts of graphic corruption starting around 14 minutes in.

Here's a couple of screenshots from 17 - 18 mins in:

I have no further info, haven't seen it on my system yet.

    Frequently those artifacts are a sign of GPU failure/overheating etc..

    They escaped from the polygon prison. We need better polygon cells and guards.

    I have been experiencing the same once in a while, from what I can see it's caused by overheating GPU most likely, so if your GPU is overclocked, maybe turn it down a notch, also remove dust from your fans, and get some better ventilation. It happens in all kinds of games, and usually after playing for 30 minutes or more. Atleast now I know a few possible solutions for my own problems.

    the problem is known and it seems only geforce 500 series cards are affected.
    The reason is unknown for the moment, if anybody has any reproduction steps, that would help

    Well, get a 500 series graphics card, and then play 5 hours, then you should see it here and there. I'll try and clean up my computer, and check if it's overclocked or not, and see if that helps.

    While this can be cause, it isnt in this case in this instance. I get these artifacts as well, and have monitored my GPU temp and its stayed at a very reasonable level. These artifacts ONLY occur on Veil for me, and I believe blind as well.

    IIRC, it has been mentioned that these artifacts are a known issue with 400 & 500 series NVIDIA cards. Both blind and I fall in this category

    1) Load veil

    2) Spectate an hour long game

    75% chance youll see artifacts then

    This seems to be happening more on veil than other maps. It seems to be an issue with Nvidia GeForce 4XX/5XX cards but I'm not quite sure what is causing it.

    We need to work out if it is a certain prop that is causing these issues or something else. If anyone can reproduce this on-demand, please msg me ASAP.
