    I was playing SC2 and I noticed some lines glitching across the screen. It was almost like the system had a quick system hault then returned back to normal. It was usually when I scrolled across the map. So I downloaded OCCT and used its GPU stress test to measure the temps and the FPS. The test had a constant FPS at about 72-78 until the temps get up to about 70 degrees or so and then the FPS were randomly dropping down to 28. Im using stock clocks with the driver listed on the Dell website.
