Hello, I have a ASUS PG27AQDP 1440p 480hz monitor and just recently got a 7900 XTX that I put in my system.
So, I previously had my old 2080 TI in my new PC whilst waiting for my Sapphire Pulse 7900 XTX that I got off of Amazon.
My 2080 TI had ZERO issues prior just for reference.
I only used DDU after installing my 7900 XTX, which in hindsight, I am now starting to regret because I just figured that windows won't use the Nvidia drivers and I'll use DDU/uninstall geforce afterwards with little to no problems (because of the 5 PCs I've had, I haven't ran into many issues ever).

Here is a link showcasing my issue.
At first for a while, the problem was my HDMI not being detected when turning on my monitor and I annoyingly have to replug it in, but now this morning, I turned on my monitor and I was met with these weird pattern artifacts.
I turned my monitor on and off about 4 times after replugging twice and it finally went away.
When I first got the card, I was having what looked like periodic HDCP snow/horizontal static line flicker in espeically modern games ONLY.
Baldur's Gate, Devil May Cry 5, Marvel Rivals, etc
A fully modded Skyrim that pretty much fully utilizes the 24gigs of vram, I haven't seen an artifact once or pixel games like Quasimorph; games where system temps are lower seem fine.
I have always had a second TV/Monitor plugged in and that display has had zero problems or issues. (no cross display artifacting so hopefully not a GPU problem)
I previously was using DisplayPort instead of HDMI, but I noticed that the artifacting was a bit less on HDMI so I opt'd for that; I have also tried every DP port and all have static horizontal line artifacting issues.
I have tried 3 different DisplayPort cables that I got off of Amazon, one that came with the monitor, 54gbps, and 80gbps until I realized that this monitor is permanently capped at 32.4gbps....
Unfortunately, I kind of got scammed as I was a fool to look at Amazon reviews saying that this monitor supports DP 2.1 but it actually doesn't (it's a complete waste) and I couldn't return it because it was 4 days after the 30 day return window (waiting for all my parts took so damn long that I couldn't test everything); I do not know if this is a bandwidth problem or not as I'm new to artifacting issues.
Just to clarify, I have the horizontal staticy artifacting happen consistently both on DP and HDMI but I have only tried one HDMI cable (which is the one that came with the Monitor); it is just less frequent on 2.1 HDMI vs 1.4 DP. This used to only happen in espeically more modern games but now, this is the first time I've seen it on my desktop which is more concerning.
I also read that this specific artifacting pattern might be a RAM instability problem and I do have my Corsair CMK96GX5M2B6000Z30 overclocked.
CL30 6000 DDR5 and the latencies have been tightened following Buildzoid's video on 9800X3D.
I also use Wallpaper Engine and have read that it could also cause problems sometimes but I haven't really much of a clue if that's true or not.
I am here trying to figure out if this is a monitor problem, driver issue, HDMI or DP cable/some kind of weird DSC bandwidth issue, or if my GPU needs to be returned because these issues are seeming to get more frequent and would appreicate any help.
