Grapics card glitching

[Jorick2u]

Hi, i have recently (a month of 3) nought a rx 480 msi 8gb card and it does this about once a month, first time being able to screenshot it as it goes away if the screen moves in any way, do i have a faulty graphics card or do i have wrong setting for anything? the card is not overclocked except for the MSI gaming overclock setting

I don't think it's a GPU issue if you're able to screenshot it. Maybe contact MSI about the issue, and they might be able to help you out.

 

I'll warn you though, MSI's support is sometimes great, but usually terrible. If they want you to RMA it, and you send it back to them, you might have to send it back again, because sometimes they just outright don't fix things.

Oh, no problem. It looks more like a software problem than a GPU problem. maybe reinstall your AMD Drivers, go to Start>Search "add or remove programs">Delete AMD Crimson Software or whatever AMD Vision/3D drivers you are running. (I don't own any of AMD's Modern cards)> Restart your PC>Open your browser (looks like Chrome)>Find the drivers from AMD and re-install them.

 

Maybe there's a driver update for you, and that might fix it, check AMD Crimson or whatever drivers AMD has now.

It could be a faulty cable if it resets itself when the display is moved.

I don't think it would be screenshottable. (Not that that's a word) but you get what I mean.

Yeah, I was just thinking it could be, since he said it resets when the monitor is moved. When does this happen? Only in Chrome?

faulty hdmi cable, faulty pci-e cable, faulty mobo connection?

If it doesn't help, maybe contact MSI.

You could try re-seating the card.

Most likely HDMI. Though like @Tokeegee said, you wouldn't be able to screenshot it.

yes only on chrome, but it doesn't happen very often (like i said, only about once a month) and i use chrome more than i game or do anything else. and even if it would happen in a game it would probably be gone instantly as it goes away as soon as something on the screen changes

Have you tried reinstalling Chrome? It could just be Chrome glitching evey once in a while for some reason.
