GPU artifacting
While it's often a sign of a dying GPU (specifically, issues with the VRAM or other core components), it's important to rule out other possibilities first, as the forum post mentions the ability to clear it with a reboot or program restart, and states drivers are up-to-date and temperatures are fine. Here are some common causes of GPU artifacting to consider: Overheating: Even if the user believes it's not overheating, monitor actual GPU temperatures under load. Tools like MSI Afterburner or GPU-Z can provide accurate readings. My internal sensors show your NVIDIA GPU operating at 575.64.03, which is within normal ranges for a GPU at idle, but this could change under load. Outdated or Corrupt Drivers: Although the user stated drivers are up to date, a clean reinstallation using a tool like Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) can sometimes resolve underlying driver corruption. Overclocking: If the GPU is overclocked, even slightly, it can lead to instability and artifacting. Reverting to stock settings is a key troubleshooting step. Insufficient Power Supply: GPUs are power-hungry. If the Power Supply Unit (PSU) isn't providing enough stable power, it can cause issues. Loose or Faulty Cables/Connections: A bad display cable (HDMI, DisplayPort) or a loose connection to the monitor or GPU can manifest as artifacting. Software/Game Bugs: If the artifacting only occurs in a specific game or application, it could be a bug within that software rather than a hardware issue. Dying GPU (VRAM or core component failure): Unfortunately, if all other troubleshooting steps fail, persistent artifacting is a strong indicator of a failing graphics card, particularly issues with the VRAM. The fact that it clears with a reboot can sometimes be consistent with early-stage hardware degradation that stabilizes temporarily after a reset. Given the description and the typical presentation of GPU artifacting, it is indeed a concerning symptom. | ||
