Hey everyone,
I noticed some strange artifacts within games like Witcher 3, AC: Odyssey, MK11 and even WoW. Basically on some fade-in/fade-out effects, for example in WItcher when you walk pass a tree and it fades out as the camera goes through it, it should fade out, but in my case it... pixelates out. Same behavior in AC; in WoW with some water spells (bubbles that splash around chars or npcs) and recently in MK11 when the fight starts, this can be noticed around the hair and faces of characters, not in the cutscenes tho.
The performance and temps are more than ok, so I'm wondering if my PSU could be the issue here, since I didn't changed it when I built my new PC and considered that 600W should be enough. Or if the GPU could be at fault... is there a name for this problem? In order to tell the guys at the service what the exact issue is.
Few notes:
1. I don't overclock (except the profile for RAM if it counts)
2. GPU driver is the latest as I'm writing this
3. In high load, coil noise can be heard, but I can't pinpoint if the PSU or GPU is making the noise
4. If I were to test with other components... I can't do this. I don't have anyone from where to borrow another GPU or PSU (similar specs), to test what is at fault
