whenever I watch videos it has these pink and blue speckles as well

I think it's most likely artificating. Have you OC'ed your GPU? If so tone it down a bit

[Valkyrie Lenneth]

could just simply be driver related , unless ur running ur bus speeds/pci lanes higher than default

 

videos are also hardware accelerated thus it can be driver affected on the gpu

nope it's stock

[samcool55]

Unstable OC or driver issue, or just the game being glitchy, but i don't think the gpu itself is broken because it doesn't look that bad.

id check you ram first all artifacting I've ever had is ram related not GPU!

should I just re-seat the ram?

Try putting them in different slots. And also one by one, so you know if one of them is faulty, and if it isnt ram related

[Badger906]

thats a start, and then take out a stick and test/try different sockets to see if it is ram or mobo.

This is CERTAINLY a memory related issue or a driver related issue.

[Gofspar]

dead GPU, RMA it.

[DimasRMDO]

It can be unstable overclock or the GPU drivers itself.

So you can set the GPU settings to default and/or roll back to older drivers.

Then hope that it can fix the problem.

 

If it doesn't fix the problem then it's the GPU itself, it's dying.

Lot of conflicting answers on here. So, try these out, just some general troubleshooting tips for graphics problems.

 

• Swap display cables/ports for your monitor
• Rollback to the previous stable driver
• Reseat ram
• Test using iGPU if you have one on your chip

Could be this.

 

My 5770 did this on the way out or something similar.

[FireFox]

If you have a spare video card you could try installing that and see if the same issues present themselves or you could install your 970 into another PC. If it is a memory issue and reseating hasn't helped you could run Memtest86.

[Rusty_Shackleford]

I've already said it's not OCed sorry to sound rude but people keep saying it

[Kire]

Try switching your ram from one slot to another , it's usually the ram that causes that

[Valkyrie Lenneth]

if it were unstable ram he would get program not responding all over the place aswell and getting os corruption/file corruption slowly / or even quickly overtime

[Rusty_Shackleford]

and I havent had this problem until I put this new GPU in

[Valkyrie Lenneth]

its not ur ram dont worry, u wouldnt be able to even be in windows right now if u had unstable ram that bad it would artifact

 

even having ur ram 1cas tighened can blow up a windows in a instant at boot ( if its unstable, and ofcourse it is file corruption then )

 

its either a driver issue with the card(gpu) or a hardware issue(gpu)

[Valkyrie Lenneth]

come to think of it, did u install ur chipset drivers? from a disc or downloaded drivers? not having proper installed chipset drivers could be causing it aswell

[Agazed]

Try underclocking, and if that fixes everything, you need to RMA it.

 

However, could be an issue with drivers.

Wrong. GPU's artifact when they are unstable and unable to process the workload.

ram can artifact actually, but when ur actually to the point where it does... ur windows wont last very long ( il give it 10seconds )
