UI flickering in 6 box group

http://www.privatepaste.com/5e8e7badfa

I'm running a 7 box with main screen full size on right monitor and 7 screens at 25% size along the left and bottom edge of the left monitor.

Sometimes the UI begins to flicker in one or more instances and the only fix is to "/camp desktop" and to restart that instance. What is flickering is all of the UI elements/chat boxes. The game world looks just fine and the game continues to play just fine. Any suggestions on figuring this out.

Yea it is not that kind of artifacting. The game world stays up 100% normal but all of the UI elements flicker. Chat boxes, hotbars, target window, spell bar, etc.

Re: UI flickering in 6 box group

The only time I've seen that is when the CPU was overloaded. It didn't have enough time to draw all the UI elements after the screen was drawn. Some things to try:

Open up the task manager and check your CPU and memory utilization.
Download and run GPU-Z and see if you have enough graphics memory, and see what the GPU utilization is.
Finally, download Furmark and run that to stress test your graphics card.

If all that looks good, you can also try Memtest 86+ and Prime95 (I suggest multi-hour runs of each) to exercise the CPU and memory. Even occasional faults can cause weird behavior.
