Is my graphics card fked? My graphics card is only a few months old. I have a Vega 64 with custom water cooling on. Cooling is definitely not the issue here. I ran this under stock settings and still get this. I don't know what else to do. Doing a RMA would be my absolute last option... I have rigid tubing setup. It would be a pain in the ass to take out my graphics card.

downclock the card and HBM, if it helps then yeah.. your card does not meet the spec for stability and is failing and you should RMA

If it does not help, its even worse then.

 

All games do this?

Swap the display cable, or use a different port (both the output on the card and input of the monitor). Praying to all the gods out there might help

I see this in Black Desert Online only in certain areas and its severe. I would see these artifacts all over the screen whenever I'm in "that" area. I tried downclock a bit but haven't tried downclocking the memory. I'm gonna try right now.

 

Other times are really random. Like sometimes just web browsing with Chrome, the whole screen would have this red dots and blue blocks for a split second. Or when I played league of legends, the whole screen turns blue with white lines for a split second. It never really bothered me until I played BDO though which was wayyy more severe.

Well, if it also happens during web browsing then your card is most likely faulty and downclocking wont help to "fix" it.

Ahh okay. Thanks! I guess I'll just accept my fate and RMA my card... Ugh... The pain of draining the coolant..

BDO is pretty intensive, but if it happens while webbrowsing too, your card is toast. time for RMA.

 

(on a side note, i have a bunch of guest passes if you ever need one)

How do Reavers clean their spears?

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.
