hmmm test the card in another PC if you can.. 馃憤 if the same artifacts follow the card, you have your answer for the return.
my three-year-old GPU has started shoiwng artifacts on teh desktop. colored blocks, stretched polygons, flickering lines across teh screen:
It doesnt crash right away, but its getting more frequent... i updated the driver yesterday and nothing changed. Is this the beginning of teh end for the card, or is there something i can fix?? Im trying to stay calm, but the card isnt cheap to replace. If theres a way to narrow down whether its the card or smth else, Id like to try it first.
lol same thing happened to me as a temporary workaround, lowering teh memory clock with teh vendors tuning tool can reduce VRAM-related artifacts 馃敟 It doesnt fix teh card, but it can keep it usbale while you sort out a replacement. good luck man!
try a different cable and monitor. A bad cable gives sparlkes and dropouts, but rarely teh structured colored blocks that VRAM faults produce. lmk how it goes
@cipherbuilder-2n0 WOWWW replaced the thermal pads (my card was out of warranty anyway) and the memory temps dropped alot... no artifacts since, nervous but happy. thank u thank u thank u
