Is this artifacting, and could i get some help please?

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?

That is def your VRAM. You must RMA her. But if your overclocking then revert it and you wont get the crap on the screen. So only way that happens is with high OC or a busted VRAM like I said.
