Graphics "Artifacting" in 2.5

Haven't noticed this before this patch or before the DX11 stuff, but I've noticed some weird artifacting at various times while leveling (see below).



It's not too evident here, but there are basically translucent (sometimes opaque) "planes" intersecting certain enemies (these were red). This also happened to me in Ship Graveyard but that one was so bad it literally covered the entire screen and I couldn't tell exactly where it was coming from as I approached.


Edit: This one shows the issue better.

I am running an earlier card (GTX 680) but have no problems with other games. Has anyone run across anything like this since DX11 or 2.5?

I had the same problem and using --noasync on the launcher fixed it for me, though it does make load times take a lot longer.
It's difficult to say what causes this. At first I thought my card was going bad but if someone else is getting it then it has to be on PoE's side. I switched to DX9Ex and didn't notice it, then switched back to DX11 and did not notice it again on the same exact mobs (instance didn't reset).

Lots of people are having the same issue with the DX11 client - here is one thread of many. Unfortunately, GGG seem to be ignoring this at the moment.
This is going on since patch 2.4.2 for weeks now and we still have not a reply from GGG on this issue.

I created a "meta" topic https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1784793 and added this thread there.

Maybe we can get an answer after all.

If you add --noasync to the command line, it will stop the artifacts but load times and instance switching will be a lot longer.
