GPU artifacting (?)

[Cultz]

Specs:

- GTX 1070
- Ryzen 5 3600 GIGABYTE AB350M-DS2-CF

- 8x2 DDR4 2133mhz

- 2560x1440 monitor

 

Recently updated gpu's driver, and it started to make textures appear like these in game

 

I really don't know if these counts as artifacting or not, cuz when I searched for the same problem none of it even came close to my issue
I tried downgrading drivers with DDU, problem doesn't exist anymore on window when I uninstalled driver.

This kinda looks like a dying GPU, and it's an old card. But if you say the issue goes away with going back to the previous version, it complicates it a little bit.

 

My guess is that what fixed your issue was DDU and not rolling back the driver. You had some software issue that needed a DDU to cleanup. I would try to do the same DDU process but this time install the same latest driver and report back.

 

But, do be prepared that your possibly 8 years old card is dying and the issue could come back soon.

Hi buddy,

 

As others have said, artifacting is usually the sign of a dying GPU, specifically the VRAM. Its not enough for the card to crash the PC or even throw a driver error but it does look like its on the way out.

 

Try DDU to remove and reinstall drivers or you could try a fresh install of windows just to rule out a software issue.

 

You could try and downclock your GPUs VRAM with MSI Afterburner (which usually works) but depending on how much you need to lower the speed of your VRAM to fix the issue, you maybe seriously gimping performance so its probably best you prepare for a GPU upgrade.

no no, it doesnt, its just fixed when theres no driver yet, downgrading still artifacts

Oh well then it's time to think of a replacement. Sorry about that.
