Question Rtx3080 Problem - Artifact ? Help me please !

[MaxG114]

Hi all. New here. Need your help to find the problem. Just switched my Rtx2080 Strix for a Rtx3080 Strix. DDUed drivers. Installed the last one. All is seated correctly. Card has no sag. Ran some 3dMark tests and all was fine (except the terrible coil whine). After that I played COD MW2. I play at 1080p, 144hz. DVi cabled. When the usage of the GPU reach near 85% i get some texture glitch (black floor, mini white dot, white line). Card is not OCed yet. CPU Usage is at ~45% and GPU temp is at ~70°. Is this an RMA case ? My specs are :

• i7-8700k @ 5ghz
• Asus z370h
• 16 go ram Vengeance 3000mhz
• Corsair H100i v2 cooler
• HX850 80 platinum PSU

See how you go trying 516.94 driver. Last couple of latest driver updates introducing more dx12 optimisations may be bugged until those are ironed out. Got 3080ti in August and installed 516.94 from that month. Tried 517.48 later, reading about some more DX12 optimisations, but Dying Light 2's electric weapon mods gave off some weird thicker than normal spark flare so went back to 516.94.

Downgraded at the 516.94. No more white screen or artifacts. But GPU is now at full load and I'm running at 100fps.

Is that bad or? Maybe reinstall using clean install option in installer so no NvidiaCP manage 3d settings remain. Shouldn't need to ddu.

I upgraded to the 522.25. It's working. But the GPU usage is lower than the 526 and can't hit 144fps. So the driver can be worst tan a previous one ? Always said that previous drivers was a myth ahahahah

Can go either way. Sometimes good, sometimes not. Good for some games, others not.

Nvidia has Geforce forums to read or give feedback on your experience with driver releases.

Little Update if it can Help someone. Latest Nvidia driver "Can cause flashing corruption on Modern Warfare II" Nvidia said.

522.25 caused me quite a few issues. One was no screen on startup and the other was artifacting. I would suggest going on up to 526.47

Nvidia released the "repaired" driver. Now it's good to go !!
