Hi everyone, I have been suffering some weird artifacts especially when alt-tabbing from full screen games and when signing out windows. I can easily replicate the artifacts. I am planning to sell my card but I'm worrying that this card might be dying. My card is already 2 years old since I bought this card last December of 2016. I am unsure if the card is failing because I only suffer these artifacts on newer Nvidia drivers 391.35 above. I already tried using lower versions like Nvidia 384.94 and the artifacts never even dare to show up. The card is running smoothly 100% and I never experienced any crashes. I usually play for 8-10 hours a day and never experience any problems but just suffer these weird artifacts.
I cant RMA my card since the warranty period is over and I have opened my card for thermal paste replacement.
Temps are good; GPU only at 65C Full load and 35c at idle
I have done some troubleshooting including:
-Reseating the gpu
-Replacing thermal paste of the gpu
-Reseating RAM
-Furmark Stress Test
- DDU (tested various gpu drivers)
-Fresh installed Windows 10
-Swapped PSU
I am really worried if its a software or hardware issue.
Thank you everyone.
Below is a footage of the artifacts occuring when signing out of windows.
