  1. guys pls help i bought a secodnhand mining card secondhand a few weeks ago, it seemed fine at first, but now i get this on the desktop:

    gpu artifacts

    The seller said it was never overclocked, i can still return it for a few more days. How can i prove whether its teh card and not my sysetm? i dont wanna accuse the seller unfairly, sooo i need to be sure its really the card. What tests would hold up as proof? pls help 🙏

    been there man the key question is where the artifacts appear. If they show up in teh BIOS or boot screen, before any dirver loads, its almost certainly hardware: VRAM or the GPU itself.
