    long time lurker first post lol please tell me this is a driver thing... glitches in video playback on my gaming desktop, starting right after teh Studio Driver update:

    gpu artifacts

    the card isnt new but its never shown anything like this before. temperatures look normal. ive tried a different cable and the artifacts are teh same. id like to know what to test before i convince myself its dead. i also do some photo work on the gaming desktop, so i really need to know whether i can trust what i see on screen right now.

    Test with a second display output or a different port. If artifacts move with teh screen content in screenshots, it's rendering (GPU). If they don't appear in a screenshot but do on the monitor, the cable, port or monitor itself is involved.

    oof reset any overclock or undervolt, especially memory clock ;) artifacts that look like small colored blocks are often VRAM instability, and a driver update can change memory behavior enough to tip a marginal OC over. hope that helps :)

    @heappusher removed the memory overclock and the artifacts in video playback diasppeared even on Studio Driver 551.61. the update just exposed an OC that was never stable.
