I think my GPU is broken

Hey, I think my GPU is faulty from the factory. I tried to run time spy and got really really bad artifacting while using the stock factory settings. I also recorded a video of the artifacting. It is not the first time I have seen artifacting with this card. I would get black boxes while playing Detroit: BH and the screen would sometimes briefly flash blue during F1 2020. When I downclock the GPU by ~100-120 Mhz it runs fine but that's annoying since I don't get the experience I paid for. The thermals are also all fine too with the gpu at 70C and the CPU 60-65. So, do you think my gpu is straight up dead or could it be anything else?

 

Full Specs:

Ryzen 5 3600

2x8GB 3000Mhz Ram

MSI GTX 1660 Super Gaming X

EVGA 600B power supply (5 years old)

1 WD Black NVMe SSD

1 Samsung EVO 860 SATA

1 Seagate 7200 rpm HDD

 

Tried with drivers 452.06 and 457.09, the result is the same

Latest Windows 10 version

seems like bad Vram or core. RMA the gpu.

 

with -100mhz it runs fine? try to increase voltage,power and tempo limit slider to max and try running core and memory at stock.

 

normally this would be a heat issue, but since your gpu is under 70c this makes me believe it is either voltgae issue or the card is broken.

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

No luck, made it even worse.

I totally didn't see that it said GTX 1660 Super.

Whoops!

Yes and it MSI's Gaming X Model.

 

 

Looks I'm just going to RMA it, which sucks because I have online classes.
