Question Black Triangle issue with RTX 4070

[SBLIFX]

A black triangle appears in the top left when moving cursor to and from tabs, mostly on YouTube. It is specific to cursor position and usually only appears momentarily when moving mouse fast.

Disable hardware acceleration in your web browser settings.

Disable hardware acceleration in your web browser settings.

That seems to have stopped it. Does that mean something's wrong with the hardware, or is it just a quirk?

That could mean a problem with vam of your graphics card.
Test it with MSI Kombustor.

I tested it for over 4 minutes at 2160p, no issues. Log summary below. It managed >50FPS the whole way. VRAM usage was 2.8XXGB.

I have a 3070 and have also noticed issues with YouTube over the past week or so. Only when in the default view and the mouse is still. If I go to theater mode or full screen it does not have issue, but when it is doing it I get strange flashing, artifacting, colors and shapes almost always off the side of the playing video/window.

I have chased various recommendations, drivers, such and so forth to no avail. I don't have the issue with any other card or system I run. Turning off Hardware Acceleration also worked as a bandaid for mine, but hurts CPU temps for certain browser actions. In particular it doesn't like to load the weather radar map on Windy without scaling the fans...

I very much hope it is just a glitch that will be resolved with an update.
