The weird thing is that I only hear it sometimes when the PC is idling or doing simple tasks, and it goes away as soon as I put the PC under load. It sounds alot like a short circuit noise so it's worrying me. Here's a video of the sound:

How did you buy an rtx 3070 from romania? I'm in romania too and the 3070s here are all priced at scalper prices. I'm trying to order one from the US and use MyUS to get it shipped to me.

I put the card in the second PCIe slot on the motherboard, DDU'd the drivers one more time and plugged the displayport cable into a different slot on the GPU and the issues seem to be fixed now, I also do not get the weird reflection glitch in Battlefront anymore. I don't know if it's the latest driver or changing the PCIe slot that solved it but I guess that doesn't matter. EDIT: Nevermind, I still get the reflection glitch in battlefront but it seems to be less bad

I have 2 monitors, one is a Gsync 1080p@75hz with HDMI and the other one is a Freesync 1440p@144hz with DisplayPort. I already reinstalled the drivers multiple times. Could this be caused by dust? Since I see a thin layer of dust directly on the components at the back of the GPU.

It just stopped bugging the next day when I turned on the computer again, but I got another bug today, a horizontal white line appeared on the screen while I was playing minecraft for a split second, it didn't go across the entire screen though, only a portion of it. Someone else told me this could be a display output bug. I never actually had any proper artifacts though, except for when I alt-tabbed back into battlefront 2 but a restart seems to have fixed that. I really don't know what to do at this point, I emailed zotac support directly to ask if I can get a replacement directly from them so I don't have to deal with this shady retailer. But for some reason when I did a VRAM scan with OCCT it showed 0 errors so what does that mean?

I tried to get it to happen again and it doesn't happen anymore, I also DDU'd the drivers one more time just to be safe and installed a newer (but not the latest) driver. I also did a VRAM test in OCCT and it showed no errors after 10 runs. Before I got the alt-tabbing errors btw I had an issue with minecraft where everything except the HUD went black, but it fixed itself when I joined a new game. I am really confused because I had all these errors but OCCT says everything is fine, and I don't get the errors when I'm playing Battlefront 2 or Microsoft flight simulator which are very GPU intensive games. I talked to the warranty guy and he said he will only replace my card if it's 100% certain it's a hardware issue and I really don't want to send it to him because who knows what he's gonna do to it and then he might give it back to me saying "everything is fine". So if someone could tell me if this is a software or hardware issue I would appreciate it alot. EDIT: Btw I fixed the weird pixelated reflections in Battlefront 2, I just had to turn the post-processing setting to Minimum and now everything looks great.

It won't let me start the game when I'm in safe mode, it just crashes to desktop after the loading screen goes away. I really don't think a fresh installation of windows would help since there was absolutely nothing running in the background except for discord when the artifacts happened. EDIT: MSI Afterburner was also running but it only has a fan curve modification.

I was having weird pixelated reflections in Battlefront 2 (and I couldn't find a solution to it) so I DDU'd the drivers and installed an older, known good driver. After the issue persisted, I switched battlefront 2 to DirectX 12 and the issue stopped, but now sometimes when I alt-tab out of the window I get proper artifacts on the screen. They're usually pink/white wavy stripes or green lines. A couple times I also saw these artifacts on the models of characters in-game (when I was alt-tabbing back into the game) but I didn't manage to get that on video. As you can see in the video, towards the end it magically stopped happening, but before the recording I was able to reproduce it pretty consistently. Before this issue, I've had all kinds of graphical issues, mainly with reflections and shadows. Here is the video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvTaD1g0C2w In the video you can only see green/orange lines but when I was testing earlier the colors were different each time, sometimes pink/white, sometimes yellow/green etc. and they would come in different shapes and sizes too. Another symptom is that after alt-tabbing multiple times, my in-game FPS drops by alot. I did run furmark about 12-15 times about 2 months ago when I was having other graphical issues (shadow flickering and grainy reflections in Unigine Heaven, raytracing/shader issues in minecraft etc) but only for about 30-40 minutes in total. I ran it multiple times for short amounts of time instead of letting it run once for a long time to avoid overheating, and I ran it across the span of 3 days (so 4 times each day). So my questions are, is my gpu dying? Should I make a warranty claim? And could furmark have damaged it? I have no OCs, only a custom fan curve.

I was wondering how much thermal cycling (repeated heating up and cooling down) shortens the lifespan of a modern GPU. I ran furmark about 12-15 times in total across the span of 3 days when I was doing some testing. Most of those runs were 1 minute long and some of them were about 5 minutes long. I thought it would be better to run it multiple times for shorter amounts of times than running just a few times but for a longer time every time because I would prevent overheating, but later I realised thermal cycling could have affected it so I want to know if there is any way I could have damaged anything. The max temperature during the benchmarks was 73 degrees celcius and the idle temperature is 35-40 degrees celcius so that's about a 40 degree celcius difference that happened about 5 times per day, accross the span of 3 days. My GPU is a zotac rtx 2070 mini.

I mean to be honest I ran alot of benchmarks with no hardware problem symptoms, only some software problem symptoms (shadow flickering, screen tearing) so I really doubt the GPU is broken, unless somehow the benchmarks broke it but apparently that's not possible since I didn't overclock the GPU but correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't have integrated graphics but I didn't get the issue at all yesterday, in fact I only get it about 3 times per month and I can barely even see it so I might be hallucinating for all I know xD but I was just wondering if it's possible for an issue with the GPU to manifest itself so rarely or if it's supposed to happen alot more often.

I said I can't really test if that fixes it since it happens so rarely that there is no easy way of testing if something works or not, but I guess I can try that yea and it happened while I was doing non-GPU demanding things so I doubt that would change anything

Idk why nobody is replying I gave all the info I could

I already DDU'd drivers before because I had some graphical glitches in games but it turned out it was the game itself that was glitching. I also don't have another card. The white line issue obviously doesn't bother me since it only happens very rarely and I can barely notice it even when it does happen, it might just be a hallucination idk becuase it's so hard to tell if it's real or not so it's not really possible to test anything because it happens very rarely, but could it get worse over time or no? I can run games and use 100% of the gpu with no issues other than DirectX reflection bugs which I determined to be the game's fault. P.S. I'm not overclocking, the only thing I changed is the fan curve in MSI Afterburner

Why is nobody replying ;-;
