    not gonna lie this is driving me nuts so this is new. Artifacts on the desktop, and only since updating GeForce Graphics Driver from NVIDIA.

    gpu artifacts

    ive already rebooted three times. they dont show up on teh BIOS screen as far as i can tell, only once Windows loads. is that a meaningful clue? lmao im happy to run tests, i just need to know which ones make sense. i have not overclocked anything on purpose, but i did install a tuning tool a while back. i wanna rule out the cheap explanations before i start pricing replacement cards.

    lol same thing happened to me check that teh PCIe power connectors are fully seated and not melted or discolored. power issues can produce artifacts under load.

    Test with a second display output or a different port šŸ˜¤ If artifacts move with teh screen content in screenshots, its rendering (GPU) šŸ‘ If they dont appear in a srceenshot but do on the monitor, teh cable, port or monitor itself is invloved. fingers crossed šŸ¤ž

    @malikh405 removed the memory overclock and teh artifacts on the desktop disappeared even on GeForce Graphics Driver 581.15. the update just exposed an OC that was never stable. seriously made my day šŸ˜­šŸ™
