I think that is the right track a bit. I noticed when I first play a game Ill look for the issues I have in a lot of games with the crawling white lines or AA not working or some bs LODbias, I wont have any issues, the next time I load up the game a day later I start to have all these issues.
I personally always thought it was some type of windows scaling issue but that's just a shot in the dark. If you look at video in the Steam app and its minimized it has the issue but when you make it full screen a lot of the crawling disappears.
I have tried everything from flashing bios, new builds and importing others settings in Nvida Inspector with the same GPU as others and I have the issue while others do not. I have had buddies who we each had 2000 hours in games come to my house and wonder why mine looks so different compared to theirs.
