    ok weird one please tell me this is a driver thing. Glitches in the browser on my eidting workstation, starting right after the GeForce VR Developer 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 teh artifacts are teh same. Id like to know what to test before I convince myself its dead. I also do some photo work on teh editing workstation, so I really need to know whether I can trust what I see on screen right now. what am i doing wrong??

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

    ahh classic your BIOS observation is a good clue 😤 if artifacts appear only after Windows loads the driver, but not in BIOS or in Safe Mode (which uses the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter), that leans towards driver/software 🙏 if they show up in BIOS too, think hardware.

    ok so 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.

    safe Mode being clean doesn't fully clear the hardware. safe Mode barely loads the GPU, sooo a weak card can look fine there.

    @apereira DDU plus the previous NVIDIA driver and the artifacts are completely gone. So relieved I didn't buy a new card in a panic.
