Okay so..seriously has anyone found a fix for that yet?

[FoxyZey]

(The photo is not mine) But i have been experiencing those black chequred squares most of the time when watching videos on youtube or prime too (brave browser), does anyone know how to get rid of it ?
My gpu is a 3070 and it's on the latest. Kind of annoying of Nvidia to never actually release an update that has a fix for this..i just hope it's not my gpu going bad, Has anyone else experienced this ?
P.S : Yes i game fine, Games work flawlessly, and no artifacts or issues or anything goes on.

That happened on a specific driver for me. Have you updated your GPU Driver? o.o It went away when i did that months ago

I kept updating and it happens sometimes, on other drivers it often doesn't happen but it ends up happening after a while. 
I don't think it's my GPU since as i said i play GPU intensivee games perfectly fine without issues and tested it multiple times too.

i saw same artifcating on rtx 2060. I made a thermal paste change and it got better for a while (5-6 months or so). Then it started again. So did an other cleaning after and good now, but probobly one of my vram going bad.

It may be an issue with the hardware decoder section of your video card.

 

Try disabling the hardware video decoder in your video player, to see if it's an issue with the hardware decoder in your video card.

 

Try MPC-HC to watch some movies ... it uses hardware decoder to decode videos by default. If you get that artifact, you can disable the hardware decoder and set it to use only CPU decoding (or Quicksync in your CPU)

 

If you don't use Media Player Classic Home Cinema you can get it from   https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases - ,

 

You can disable hardware decoding from the LAV Filter  ( Play > Filters  > LAV Video Decoder) while a video is playing.

 

It will look similar to this (I use an older version of MPC HC on this old laptop I use in bed to read ebooks) :

From Hardware Decoder to use, select None and hit Apply and restart the player.

 

If you don't get errors any using only cpu decoding then you know it's an issue with the hardware decoder (either bad drivers, or something bad in your video card - the hardware decoder is a separate section in the chip, separate from the part that is used for games, so it would be perfectly possible for the card to be perfectly fine playing games.

 

You can then in theory configure the browser to not use hardware decoders to play videos, but it would use more cpu and will feel more sluggish.

One of my friends has no nvidia GPU and he gets the same issue, on the RX 5600XT. So is my gpu okay?

This is a long known problem. Root cause is a Windows bug so MS has to make the final fix. It does appear most frequently in Chromium based browsers with Nvidia GPUs, of which I believe Brave is one.

 

The typical workaround is to switch to OpenGL in the browser. On Chrome you can enter the following into the address bar, and change that setting to OpenGL. I don't know if it works in other Chromium browsers.

 

chrome://flags/#use-angle

I have never seen this happen on any GPU. I'd theorize that it might be a specific manufacturer's cooling paste/pad application. Since it should actually be crashing if it was in the GPU itself. So this to me reads as VRAM overheating/VRAM clock speed issue.

AFAIK this is a known issue that has been fixed:

https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40281472

https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40735345

 

Remember to update your system as well, a driver update alone won't solve this.

Seems like this is the patch to fix it: KB5037853

No, I think it is your monitor
