Accepted solution by Luca N. — if artifacts persist after DDU and an older driver, and even appear in BIOS, back up ur data and look into warranty... dont keep stress…
  1. ok weird one i installed the NVIDIA GeForce Quadro Driver 337.12 Beta update last night and this morning my living-room PC looked like this in video playback:

    gpu artifacts

    Little colored blocks, flickering lines, sometimes a whole strip of the screen goes green for a moment. It doesnt crash, it just looks horrible. My stomach dropped cuz artifacts usually mean dying hardware, right? But its supsicious that it started exactly after the update. How do I tell which one it is without spenidng money?

    reading release notes like its a horror novel

  2. Accepted solution

    if artifacts persist after DDU and an older driver, and even appear in BIOS, back up ur data and look into warranty... dont keep stress testing a card that shows artifacts in BIOS. worked for me anyway 🤷
