I have this issue with some apps and it bothers me. epic games has the worst of them all. apps like chrome, discord, battle net and xbox app. I have a 1660 Super/Ryzen 3 3600x. Both are clocked slighty higher then stock. I've tried just having it at stock and the issue is still the same.

I've been having problems with games on my xfx rx 580 gts black edition. Games will mostly artifact, black screen, and crash out. i've tried reinstalling drivers using ddu, updating windows, underclocking, undervolting, raising the power limit to 50%, and I've also upped from a 500w psu to 650w. Albeit it's not a great psu, it draws 588w from the +12v rail, but I'm still pretty sure that's enough to power my card.

i was playing wow for a while, then i opened the netflix app on my 2nd monitor then i got the weird artifacting shown in the image. i quit game and went to update the graphics driver and the screen went black. rebooted and all was fine. anyone know why this happened? for future prevention

I have RX 480 8GB by XFX, it has served me well for a couple of years. A few days ago it shut down, screen froze up and each restart of the computer it froze at a sooner interval, until I decided to take it out and see what the problem was. I unseated the heatsink, took the graphics card apart, and cleaned it thoroughly with 99% isoalco and a soft cosmetic sponge, there was some grease that came from the thermal pads that was sticky and got onto a small chip and all over the busses around it. I cleaned that up and wondered if it was causing a short because the graphics card operations seemed to continue only the image was being repeated (right??). I also removed the thermal paste that overflowed around the main chip and touched parts around it. I re-applied thermal paste. Upon today, I have re-ordered a new thermal paste that is carbon-based and therefore not electrically conductive. I heard good silver paste is bad for it, but also if applied well should be fine. Regardless I ordered new thermal paste and plan to reinstall the heatsink. This solved my problem, after letting the card sit out for a day or so. The card now runs without freezing, but a strange artifacting is now happening. Very light artifacting, tiny trails of mostly blue pixels in dark corners of windows and such, flickering lightly. I haven't tested any games. I had a series of procedures to go through, but one of my first was downgrading AMD's drivers from 20.?.?? something to 19.?.? something, the lowest available. AND VOILA! The artifacting was almost gone, until I looked closer, and noticed artifacting I had noticed months ago but paid no attention to because it was so harmless. The AMD software window itself, one specific menu where streaming is displayed and a screen is shown saying offline. That whole screen is artifacting with the blue pixels. This was something I had noticed months ago and just thought it was AMD's poor driver development as I've always had problems with them. Then I looked closer and noticed still tiny blue pixels in the same spots on the AMD window, but virtually nowhere else to be found visually except in AMD's software window. I don't know for how long this has been occurring, but I plan to at least change the thermal paste while operating the Vram on a slightly lowered max frequency for work. I also ordered a DMM for further testing. I am afraid to open up a video game, at the current moment. I also no did not ESP while repairing the card, but it sat out on a desk for a while and my feet were on the floor and I already touched many things before working on it so the magical "zapping the v-ram" explanation always sounds ridiculous to me that a card can maintain 200+ degrees farenheit operating but magical touch magic can destroy the ram permanently. What sounds to be the problem, officers? Further hardware issue? Any troubleshooting ideas? BIOS re-installing? Was it the grease? Is it the thermal paste? Is this issue something nebulous caused by having a pre-owned card? Down-clocking the card max frequency and max frequency in V-ram in AMD Radeon software did nothing to change the artifacting. I expected the change to be immediate, but nothing happened. Did this not work properly? I have read often online down-clocking was supposed to disable artifacting almost guaranteed.

I've bought a new GTX 1050 TI for my pc but it ins't working properly. At the begin it works normal but after a while weird artifacts appears on games but also on windows. New drivers like the 451.67 doesn't work, the 384.76 does work but I get all those problems after some time using the PC. The driver 451.67 after been installed make the device gives the Code 43 error over the Device Manager and the GPU assumes the generic drivers. MB: Asus p8z77-M Pro CPU: I7 - 3770 RAM: 16 GB

So, when I first got my card I started noticing random weird green/red/blue flashes but I blamed that on the games (only had that happen 2-3 times in 8 months), now im starting to notice more random artifact lookin textures, like in these images: https://imgur.com/a/mT677vf and also atm COD:MW is unplayeable at high graphics settings, cause if I turn them up this happens: https://imgur.com/a/md1AP3p For the record this glitches only happened in the Witcher 3, MW and sometimes in Dark Souls 3, but restarting the app almost always makes the artifacts go away. After hours of playing valorant, CSGO, Raibow six Siege and most games, no artifacts show up. My PC Specs Are: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sPfqzN Also my ram is OC'd from 2400 to 3200 mhz, I've tested clocking it back down to test if it was unstable ram but at 2400 the same artifacts appear. I've tried changing displayport cables, PCIE slots, switching rams, also memtest and furmark and no problems so far( furmark only running for 30 mins tho). Anyone knows if these mean my GPU is about to die? PS: I'm not able to RMA since I bought the card from a supplier and I'm out of warranty with them. Thanks for the help and sorry for my english, I'm not a native speaker.

Hello, it is me again. I was playing some MiniDV tapes on my Panasonic tv when the tapes started to gain artifacts. It would play but there would be a glitch where the tape had a frame that would be stuck for a few seconds. I used s-video. What should I do? The camcorder is the Canon GL2 NTSC. Edit: This was the issue until I turned of the tv, the tape started to play normally again. I turned the tv back on and the thing started to show artifacts again. Help please.

Hello, I own a gigabyte gtx 770 windforce oc. I recently received BSOD so I just restarted the system and afterwards the system run in 800x600 resolution with a bunch of red strip artifacts and 43 error of GPU. After restarting it keeps giving the same issues. I uninstalled the drivers with display driver uninstaller in safe mode. While trying to install the newest drivers the device keeps restarting and the screen is flashing with different artifacts, now grayscale covering the whole screen and the installation of driver is not successful. I tried changing the slot, putting in and out the power cable. Nothing changes. While installing drivers in safe mode is succesful and in safe mode I am able to change the resolution and it doesn't show any artifacts then in normal windows launch after the driver installation it works the same with artifacts and default 800x600 resolution. Is my GPU dead? I didn't have anything on when I had the bsod. It was not overheating, because the gpu was not hot when I touched it after I noticed the artifact. It was never overclocked, it had decent airflow and I cleaned it from dust yesterday. Thanks for any kind of help I am greatful for you time and answers Best regards

So, for some time i've been having this problem with textures on my games, sometimes they warp to the infinity for no reason, GPU is not overheating and closing the game fixes it for some time, deleting the shader cache also fixes. Is my GPU dying? Or is there a fix on software level? Already tried alot of drivers versions and still have the problem once the shader fills itself or whatever. Been trying to fix that, but it's a problem that always come back in one way or another in the games i play. Pls help! OS: Windows 10 1909 GPU: RX 570 Gigabyte Gaming 4G CPU: i7 4770k Stock.

I have a strange artifact appearing randomly. You can see it in the link https://youtu.be/riWQYnLuVQ8. At the moment I know the following about it: -it appears randomly also on desktop -it is triggered by nier automata, sometimes in full screen, sometimes windowed -it only happens when the image on screen is rendered by my gtx 1070, not when it is by the integrated intel hd530 -it disappear if I disable the 1070 from device manager -It is present with all the nvidia drivers I tried -whithout drivers installed it does not appear -usually restarting fixes it -if I use win+ctrl+shift+b it sometimes disappear and others not -It is present with both the original vbios and the updated vbios -it does not change if I use a different cable, hdmi port or monitor. Please help me understand it is driving me crazy.

As of late, while benching my brand new RTX 2070 Super Advanced OC on Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I've noticed these odd artifacts appear outta nowhere and only last for less than half a second and I have no idea why they occur. I know these type of artifacts appeared on an older system I had with a GTX 960 while playing moderate games like Fallout 4. (But hey my score was pretty alright, aside the artifacting lol.) Any advice or insight on this would be much appreciated! Thanks, -Tyler H.

Do someone know which can be the couse of this strange artifact I get on my monitor from time to time? I think I started seing this after I tried to oc my monitor refresh rate, but in the same period I also changed GPU so I don't know if that could be the cause. I tried switching HDMI cable but unfortunately I don't have a DP cable to try. Could it be some Gpu problem, or is it more probably a monitor issue? It also usually disappear if I restart the pc

I recently (almost a yr ago) put together a modest 1080p 144Hz gaming rig w/i5-7500, msi b250 mate MB, msi 1060 6GB, 16GB ram, HDD. Never had any issues, great performance, CPU and GPU clocking over what was said on the box, while staying way under heat limits. Today, however, I left my PC for around an hour 30 with Google Chrome and a Youtube video open, paused for when I got back. This is not uncommon for myself and probably many others to do. When I got back I found horrible artifacting, making use almost impossible, simple tasks can take 5 minutes trying to work around where I can't see. The artifacts are very rapidly shifting/flickering images from my desktop, almost resembling TV static. Applications still work, however it would take about 5x longer to do anything meaningful. I installed newest drivers and reseated my card with no luck. Anyone have a suggestion?

I’ve noticed that this grid-looking artifact appears in games, mostly on textures like bushes and trees, but also occasionally on shadows and characters. It is noticable both close-up and from a distance, but mostly if you are closer to the object as seen in the attached photo. The attached photo in this post is taken within a bush from The Witcher 3, as I noticed it appearing quite often in that particular game. I’ve also tested GTA, Forza and other games where this occurs on gras, trees and bushes. Is this a normal artifact in todays games or should I be worried that there is something wrong with my GPU? All games I’ve tested so far are with Nvidia Control Panel tweaks to prefer maximum quality and everything in-game is set to ULTRA - the artifact still appears.

I bought a 2060 SUPER 1-2 months ago (along with the rest of my PC, which has a ryzen 7 3700x so no integrated graphics, on an MSI x470 gaming pro mobo, got AMD to send a boot kit), so it's pretty new, and never bothered overclocking it cause I didn't have the need to, and its temperature never really went above 60 celsius. Recently (1 week?) I have been having issues though. When playing games, all 3 of my monitors would suddenly go black, sometimes still registering input, but sometimes not. The computer would stay on, not restart or anything mind you, but if there was a video/audio in the background, it would stop playing. I was having problems with other network drivers at the time, so just decided to reinstall windows after trying multiple other things such as ddu (display driver uninstaller) then new driver install in safe mode (which sometimes worked for an hour with all three displays, or sometimes gave me a the black screen issue mid installation) and unplugging monitors to just have one. So, after the reinstall, I installed new drivers, and it seemed to work fine for a day or two, even while gaming. But then, a few hours ago, the same thing happened again, but this time I got green dashes along my screen on booting up, and if i go above 1024x768 resolution. I once again tried ddu and then reinstalling drivers, but it did nothing. Only one monitor is being registered when all are plugged in (i can unplug others to get the one i want to work). In device manager, under display adaptors, my gpu has an error code 43. The gpu fans are definitely spinning, and my case is clean. All power cables are plugged in, even the 6+2 pin into my gpu. The two pictures demonstrate how at 1920x1080 i have artifacts(?) But at lower resolutions i don't (only one monitor shown, the same on other two) The question i guess is: is there an easy fix to this, or should i just contact nvidia, and ask them for a replacement, as i still have the whole packaging and warranty?

Hey guys! So recently.. somehow, and for some unknown reason my GPU started to "crash". First I noticed it in PUBG - once again it is a new issue, maybe a week old? Everything was fine before.. As soon as I'd see the lobby and load into a game - my Sapphire R9 290X OC "crashes" and I get a notification from the RADEON panel saying that "WattMan settings are reset to defauls due to an unexpected system failure". Before the crash, I see a slight line across the middle - freeze - crash - bug report and that message. I ran 3D Mark Fire Strike, the first "fight" scene went OK. Then the GPU Test 1 - the flyby started, and it did the same, quit the application and everything resumed the same.. so I dont quite understand what started to happen. Can anyone help?

When playing doom 2016 multiplayer and only that every once in a while a frame looks like a static tv image for a single frames and it happens every so often so I was wondering if everything is fine or what?

Hi there, I pointed this on a couple other forums, and it was suggested I post it here as well. I have an MSI Optix G24C that has been giving me some issues over the past few weeks. I'll be using it as normal (Gaming/Programming/ Browsing) and at random intervals it will start tearing and artifacting. Here's a couple videos I grabbed as it was happening: Example #1 Example #2 I've tried different inputs and it didn't solve the problem. I tried using a different graphics card and it didn't solve the problem (I'm running a 2nd monitor, tried on both cards with and without 2nd monitor. 2nd monitor never had issues). I've only had the monitor for about 6 months, purchased it on December 26th, along with a 2 year Instore Product Replacement from Memory Express (Canada). I took it in, and left it for service. They tested it under different inputs with different refresh rates and were unable to replicate the issue so I got it back. I ordered a new set of both DVI and Displayport cables in the off chance I had a bad cable but it still happens. WHILE WRITING THIS POST IT HAPPENED AGAIN: Example #3 I've tried reinstalling windows, updating to new gpu drivers, using older drivers, nothing seems to work. Should I try anything else? Or should I take it back to the store?

Hey guys, I got an MSI armor 1080 Ti and I think it's artifacting.. Not 100% sure exactly what artifacting is to be completely honest but this issue has been has been happening pretty much every game in only Dead By Daylight so far. I have not has any issues with PUBG or Project Cars 2. Basically my screen becomes consumed by blackness, starting small then growing to the whole screen. I have tried to play on lowest settings for DBD and i still have the issue.. Any info on what is going on or how to possibly fix this issue a GREATLY appreciated. (I have already tried re-installing latest drivers and even tired re-installing the game and the issue still exists)

Hello there, I am not entirely sure what this condition is called. I think its called artifacts, which happend on gpus. Its in the video. Its 2 month old system, CPU r5 2400g, MB asrock b450m pro4, RAM geil 2133 (dont know exact model), PSU gigabyte 650w. CPU temp mostly stays below 55c, using stock stealth cooler, didnt use any extra thermal paste, just what came with the cooler. I dusted off recently, in case that was the problem. But still its happening. Can anyone help me with this problem, like why its happening and/or what can I do? Thanks for reading this through and thanks again in advance for helping. video-1543939221.mp4

so i was playing some rising storm 2 and literally within the first 2 minutes the game froze and crashed. then i started it up again and there were artifacts everywhere. i tried restarting (turning it off and on again), underclocking, updating drivers. it's this on every game now. the artifacts flickers and changes on every frame of every game i play. menu and ui elements are all fine but anything that's being rendered is basically like this. also it's a laptop gpu so if it's a hardware issue i probably will have change out the whole motherboard.

Hello everyone, I'm currently struggling with getting Artifact (a Valve game) to run on my laptop. I also suck at using Ubuntu. Essentially, Artifact only runs on Vulkan - as opposed to the rest of my steam library, and when I try to open it, I get the following error message: "Failed to initialize Vulkan. Please make sure your driver and GPU support Vulkan." Can someone please help me install Vulkan and get this game to run? I'm using a Lenovo Ideapad 720s with an i5-7200U, so graphics should be Intel HD 620 (right?). I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.1. Please keep in mind that I really, really don't know how to use Ubuntu. I just installed it cause I couldn't stand Windows 10. I have been told that I just need to get mesa something something. As far as I can tell, I have done that. There is a good chance I may have messed something up, but I have no clue, so if you have any ideas, please explain them like you would to someone who has never used anything other than Windows, cause that basically applies to me.

I recently upgraded my gpu to a GTX 1070. Since then I'm running the game on ultra settings (Hairworks off), and since then I get this weird flickering glitch. It only happens in dark surroundings like the cavern shown in the video, never observed it in the outside areas. The graphics card is not overclocked beyond the factory oc settings. I suspect that it might be some video card memory defect, but then again Witcher 3 is the only game that shows artifacts. Other games (Battlefield 1, Far Cry 5, Dishonored 2, Doom, Dark Souls 3) all run without issues. This also didn't occur on my previous graphics card, but then again I didn't run the game on ultra settings with that. The graphics card is not overclocked beyond factory oc and the temps are well under control. Althouh I noticed the pcb to become extremely hot to the touch, nearly so that I would burn myself upon touching. Drivers are all up to date.

I have an ASRock AB350M Pro4 motherboard and a Ryzen 3 1200 a GTX 750 with 2x4gb G.skill Aegis ddr4 and they are 2400mhz stock. I have come to the conclusion that the RAM is causing something to happen where it starts artifacting in games and blue screens every 2 hours of gaming. I know it's not the GPU because I've swapped it out for a different one and the artifacting still occurs. Can someone see if I have the RAM in the wrong spots or at the wrong speeds or something? Motherboard specs: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/AB350M Pro4/index.asp#Specification RAM specs: https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16820232256 I have the RAM in slots a2 and b2 and they are set to 2400mhz (not auto) and when I change it to auto the RAM underclocks to 2133 Someone tell me if it's user error or the RAM is having compatibility issues.
