RX 6700XT failure?

[ChieriOnTop]

Please be aware that the video here is a major seizure warning, so if you have those, don't watch it. I beg.

Recently, I've been getting strange graphical issues that appear in game and usually when it's a failing GPU, you can't screenshot it as it only shows for the person viewing the screen, not on a screenshot. I've been getting weird like out of line graphical issues that just appear, and I've tried everything to think of. I've opened my GPU, cleaned it very well, repasted it with MX-4, which didn't really work, so I tried MX-6, even deep cleaned my entire GPU as in taking the entire thing apart and cleaning out even the smallest spec of dust, nothing. I've also tried purposely making the card perform worse with a power decrease and undervolting it, but I still get the issue. I know my PSU isn't the issue as it's 1300W. 

Could it be a driver issue?

Run Furmark. Does it also show artifacts during a test?

That usually says to me a failing cable, but these look like screen recordings?
Could be failing VRAM.... 
Does it happen with every game? Does it always happen or only in specific scenes or after gaming for a while? How are temps?

PS, the gaming rigs in my house are named
Coco Adel

What I meant by that is when a GPU is failing, usually you'll get like pixelated issues on your screen. Should of worded it better.

(glad to know you're a RWBY fan btw)

Temps seem to be fine, no artifacts. I should probably run the test for longer though.

Usually it happens about 10-20 minutes into gameplay.

Run the Test mode for around 30-40mins with this options

Cooked some food and did a bit of things before coming back, nothing detected so far. Should I try leaving this overnight or when I'm at work?

You should not run Furmark for extended periods of time because it is an extreme test pushing your GPU to its limits. Also, there is very little chance of anything showing up after a 30-40 minutes test that didn't show any issues.

At least, stay in the same room when you run the test.

Are you able to test your GPU in another computer to see if it behaves the same way ?

If you already reinstalled drivers, checked cables, cleaned the drivers with DDU and you still experience issues, maybe a full wipe and reinstall of your computer may help ?

 

Hope something in my rant turn out to be useful

It's required for heavily testing my GPU underload as it only happens in specific games, but under a specific load, sometimes it doesn't happen.

Not to it's full extent no, the only other computer I have is with an i3-2120.

I've done a reinstall very recently, about a month ago.

When running FurMark, a warning message is often displayed stating that the software is a heavy GPU stress test and that "Running stress test  may potentially damage your card".

i.e. Run at your own risks.

My take is that if you run Furmark full-blast for an extended period of time, you'll definitely find hardware errors.
