Question GPU Artifacts? Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070 Ti GAMING OC 8GB Graphics Card

[richard.b.mcintosh]

Hi All,

Anyone know what is causing this issue (which I believe is called GPU artifacting)?

A few points:

• I'm assuming this is a GPU related problem as I have tried the GPU in 2 completely different systems with 2 different monitors and the same thing happens with both.
• It happens less frequently in the higher spec. system thou.
• The purple lines/dots flicker for a short while (but don't move position) then the system either recovers, or crashes and has to restart.
• I don't necessarily need to be doing anything intensive for this to happen, it sometimes happens when just moving a window to the side of the screen (though also occurs in games).
• I've ran all sorts of GPU benchmarks and none of the benchmarks cause this issue to happen e.g., Heaven (on Extreme), Superposition, PassMark's performance tests, FurMark.
• No overclocks to GPU or CPU
• I have tried underclocking & undervolting the GPU to prevent it
• Windows & GPU driver both up to date

Current system:

• GPU = Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070 Ti GAMING OC 8GB Graphics Card
• CPU = AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
• PSU = be quiet! Straight Power 11 Platinum 550W
• SSD = Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2 TB
• RAM = Crucial Ballistix 3200 MHz, 16BG (2GB x2) - BL2K8G32C16U4B
• Mobo = ASUS ROG Strix X570-E Gaming ATX
• Monitor = Samsung Odyssey G9 (5120 x 1440)
• OS = Windows 10

Thanks in advance

I have tried underclocking & undervolting the GPU to prevent it

Then the gpu memory is most suspect.
Undervolting doesn't affect it - not directly, anyways. The voltage going to the memory is at a fixed value from vbios.

I'd suggest RMA'ing the gpu.

Thanks! A defective graphics card WAS my best guess, but hoping desperately for an easier fix :/

Have u tried to replace your PSU.?? Refer to WATT suggestion from NVIDIA for 3070ti

Wondering if you replaced your graphics card? I have a very similar issue as yours, with very similar "symptoms" - did it get fixed if you did replace your GPU, or was it something else?

Please make your own forum post with your specific issue.

I did, was just wondering if the OP got his fixed, and if so, what was the issue - just out of curiosity.
