I would check your temps / clock speeds with some thing like HWMonitor or MSI Afterburner. There could be a risk the card was damaged or needs to be cleaned with it being a second hand GPU.

Can you revert back to the old driver instead of the new driver? When updating the driver, did you utilize DDU in safe mode to remove the old driver before installing the new. This might be worth doing, if not done as there could have been a conflict with the old and new drivers upon install.

Can you show a photo of those artifacts?

It can be several reasons. Bad video cable, overheating, GPU damage, corrupted drivers.

Are you running any overclocking software for the GPU? if so try turning it off and doing a restart and see if the issue persists. My reasoning on this is that an unstable overclock can and will cause these issues also. myaarpmedicare.com

Have you tried older drivers to see if the issue is with just that driver?

i tried every graphic driver from oldest to newest. and used ddu everytime even uninstalled my intel one to try but no effect. even after artifacts closes after running any games except 2d games like osu. it just craches the 3d software (game etc). i think it is working but not taking anyload
