Weird GPU ? Issue

[dubaRA7]

Hello everyone ! I have issue where occasionally (not all the time!)  horizontal lines (most of the time they are white) appear on my screen. It happens mostly when playing video games(in some games more than others  and they are more noticeable in darker scenes, but sometimes also while watching videos. I tried to change graphics driver, i have noticed this issue on two monitors ( one is older LG model, the other is brand new monitor that just came ) and on both monitors same thing so i assume this problem isn't related to monitor, also i tried to plug in different hdmi and dvi cable but it didn't help.

The card i have is https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N105TOC-4GL#kf and the card and pc( 8gb ddr4, i5 7400, lcpower420 bronze80 , Wdblue 1tb) are old around 3 months.

 

I highly suggest you to watch these two videos ( i've collected footage in Skyrim because there is most noticeable, like i said above these lines does  in some other games and sometimes while watching videos) that i've uploaded because they really describe the issue. 

I never had this problem i tried to google around but i was unsuccessful, so please help me if you know something about this!

 

Thanks in advance!

Did you overclock the GPU in any way?

It's a 1050ti Gygabyte OC LP card https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N105TOC-4GL#kf ,  sorry i forgot to mention it. I wasn't overclocking i think also the temps are fine. Idle around 26 celsius in gaming 70 is the max i saw.

That's odd. You usually get artifacting from too high overclocks.

Yeah, i also think that is quite odd and confusing, In Skyrim those lines occur most of the time in loading screens, in Football Manager they occur quite often actaully ( which is suprising to me because that game isn't that hardware demanding, while in other demanding games like The Witcher 3, Doom,f1 2016, Warfarme i haven't noticed any issues.

Maybe this is somehow related to these two games, but on the other hand i notice this in videos but very rarely.

Looks like a video memory issue. I had similar problem showing on a GTX 960 just before it died (aka put out green checkerboard artifacts on the screed at any given time). Did your issues get progressively worse? If so, your vram might be on its way out. I hope your card is still covered under warranty.

Also did you check if your screen is ok?

Well, before you concider rmaing your gpu try fiddling with the display cable maybe? It might be your monitors fault but I highly doubt that.

@black0utm1rage yes it is under warranty, and so far i don't think that they are getting progressively worse altought that could change in the future but i don't know.

@black0utm1rage @Konrad Kwasniewski at first i tought it's monitor, u know it was old etc. , but than i bought new monitor ( i planned that anyways) and same thing. Only thing i can do to be 100% sure  is to use these monitors on my old pc but i think that isn't necessary because it's really highly unlikely that both monitors have same issue ( old and new one) and also it's kinda problematic because these lines don't occur all the time.
