Graphical artefacts in steam games on acer aspire 5920g

So i've been playing some games(specifically tabletop simulator and portal 2) and i noticed some shader artifacts(Link)
output of lspci -v:

Did you check gpu temperature under load?

grep . /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon*/temp1_input

Re: Graphical artefacts in steam games on acer aspire 5920g

Mesa may render artifacts if opengl version is set too high.
I suggest you:

  1. Check currently used version:

    glxinfo -B
  2. Downgrade to version 2.1 and test portal:

    MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=2.1 MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=120 steam

Nope still artefacts

Did you try video memory stress testing?
There is an application for windows called "video memory stress test". It's free and works through wine.

I ran a short test with it under wine,0 errors,also i have dualboot with windows so i fired up windows and ran portal 2 on it,no artefacts,and the memory test on windows 0 errors too,i think the problem is with the drivers or settings,the video card is fine
