Persistent Visual Glitches in Games

[EnzoLux]

Hi, I’ve been dealing with recurring visual glitches in games. You can see it here

In most games, I’m getting flickering textures, broken animations, and occasional terrain or camera bugs. The issue primarily affects character models and varies in severity, some days it’s barely noticeable, other days it makes games unplayable. This started about a year ago intermittently, every few months it appears for a few days, then goes away. But this time it’s persisted for over a week and shows no sign of improving.

I've found that changing graphical settings has no impact on the visual glitches. Whether it’s a lightweight game with simple visuals or a graphically demanding title, the same issues appear consistently. This suggests the problem isn’t tied to GPU load or settings, but something deeper.

What I’ve tried over the last few days:

• GPU confirmed not the issue: My 4070 Ti Super works perfectly in a friend’s PC. I also tested a spare 4070 in my system - same glitches.

• Replaced motherboard (brand new)

• Replaced PSU and cables (brand new)

• Clean Windows 10 install on a brand-new SSD

• Ran MemTest86 (4 passes, 0 errors) and Windows Memory Diagnostic

• Disabled EXPO, running RAM at default 4800MHz

• Deleted shader cache, game configs, reinstalled games, moved them to different drives

• Tried lower PCIe slot for GPU

• Unplugged all drives except the new boot SSD

• DDU clean uninstall of GPU drivers, tried multiple versions (old, latest)

• Disabled overlays and background apps

• Tried different settings in BIOS

But none of these have improved or changed anything

System Specs:

• CPU: Ryzen 5 7600

• GPU: Gigabyte RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (also tested a standard 4070)

• RAM: 32GB DDR5 4800MHz (EXPO disabled)

• MB: Gigabyte B850 Gaming X Wifi - Version F4a

• PSU: Cooler Master GX3 1050W (ATX 3.0)

• SSD: Kingston A400 1TB (fresh Windows install)

• OS: Windows 10

Given that the GPU, PSU, RAM, and motherboard are all either new or tested, I’m at a loss. The only untouched component is the CPU, but it really doesnt look like a CPU issue, and I'd expect to have other kind of problems if it was, but no, it's only in games where this happens. I’m also wondering if the case, grounding, or power delivery could somehow be affecting system stability.

If you’ve seen something like this before or can think of a test I haven’t tried, I’d genuinely appreciate your input. I feel like I’m chasing ghosts at this point.

is resizable bar on or off in your bios? you could try limiting you pcie speed in bios.

Use OCCT and Prime95 to test the CPU for errors

I've tried Resizable BAR both enabled and disabled, and also forced PCIe Gen3 in BIOS, no difference.

I’ve run multiple stress tests using OCCT and other tools, and everything checks out fine, no errors or crashes. The issue only appears in games, outside of games the system behaves perfectly.

you could try one ram stick at a time.

Also didn't work with either of them
