    please tell me this is a driver thing. glitches on teh desktop on my gaming desktop, starting right after the GeForce Graphics 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 the 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 realy need to know whether i can trust what i see on screen right now. seriously need help here 😭

    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.

    @rustywarden yesss sadly it was hardware. Artifacts showed in BIOS after a few days ;) Warranty claim is in. Thanks for helping me figure it out fast.
