Just got a gtx 1080 ti today only to find that it began to artifact. it only seems to happen in more graphically demanding games but also ocasionally on my browser and desktop as well (usually after exiting out of a game thats artifacting).Should I return it? Ive tried reinstalling the drivers, and reseating the card but thats about it.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Make and model of the GTX 1080Ti? Make and model of your PSU and it's age? Did you use DDU to uninstall your former GPU drivers? You're advised to do so and then reinstall GPU drivers with the latest found off of Nvidia's support site. Install the drivers in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.

GPU: MSI DUKE GTX 1080 TI PSU: EVGA SUPERNOVA G2 650 W. I didnt use DDU but I did check the clean install box for the drivers on Geforce Experience. Should i try again with DDU?
