Strange Artifact, please help!

[Piliffo]

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

Regardless though I think this is more GPU related, it's extremely rare for a monitor to have this many faulty pixels, is your monitor still overclocked? and what's your whole system specs?

I wasn't thinking about dead pixels in fact. The monitor is at stock refresh now. My sistem has a gtx 1070 asus dual oc, and an i7 6700.

since the previous gpu was an AMD rx 480, could it be that I have some driver or component left after uninstalling AMD driver that is cousing problems with Nvidia ones?

Then it's definitely a GPU issue, might be faulty VRAM or you have it overclocked to the point that it's not stable.

 

You could try using DDU to completely uninstall your drivers and reinstall them again.

Screen should flick black then restore.
