Can't define screen bugs, any experts?

Lyndgaard · February 24, 2015

Hello Comunity, i am writing a post on this forum, because i sometimes experience a screen error that i can't really tell why. I am not sure what it is or what is causing this? I have linked a picture that shows the issue. It is not that bad in the picture, but sometimes it is all over the screen. It seems to go and disappear, and sometimes show up in games on a certain surface at a time?

For me it looks like the screen is being multiplied many times within a small area (sometimes in different colors). But i hope someone in here can enlighten me!

Also when i try to capture it and go to shadowplay (Shadow play is currently always running in games) to select the "capture screen" option, it shortly goes black and most of the time, this removes the issue?

So is it a Driver, the GPU, the Cable, the Monitor, Shadowplay, or something else?

My pc specs are:

- Gigabyte G1 GTX 970
- 16GB Kingston Beast 1600Mhz
- Intel i7-4790K Devils Canyon

- Asus Maximus Hero VII

The monitor i am using is an Asus 27" PB278QR LED 1440p, with the included Display Port cable.

If you need more information, just ask!

Thanks!

It's called artifacting, it's some kind of GPU issue. Have you overclocked your GPU at all?

It might be artifacting, it's easy enough to test for.

Grab MSI Kombuster, set it to maximum and run it, leave it going for a while and see if the problem gets worse.

If yes its artifacts due to your graphics card.

If no then its something else.

The Card is not overclocked at all and have never been

I've downloaded the MSI Kombuster, but there seems to be alot of different stress tests, wich one do you suggest?
