[SOLVED] Sad day for my GPU (Maybe)

[johndii1991]

Ever since I followed many methods to stop display driver crashes. Now my PC games gets artifacts and crash. I don't know if its the Display Driver Nvidia 466.47 or the latest Windows 21h1 causing this issue? I don't get BSOD nor whole PC crashes. Temps fine and GPU load is fine. I don't know what to do anymore. I used MSI Kombustor to stress test with the Furry Donut and get artifacts in just several minutes, In general, just artifacts in game only. I did test with PUBG and integrity file check and it found 7 errors and then it claimed it fixed it and now I can't even enter the training room now and it crashes for example. Is it still a result of defective GPU? I am lost for words now.

Have you done the ddu uninstall/reinstall method via safe boot? Also, a screenshot of the artifacts you get might help share light on em. Uusally they are vram related.

it's ok, I got it figured. It's dying. Luckily I found my spare GTX1660. Thankyou for your support 🙁

No problem and I'm sorry to hear that. Getting a new GPU in our times is extremally hard & expensive. However not everything is so bad since you had a spare GTX 1660.

What is the gpu in question?
I do not see anything amiss in your posted photo.
(but, I am not that picky)
Does everything run properly with the GTX1660?
If so. likely your gpu is defective.
You can probably get a good price for it on ebay.
You need to disclose the defect, but miners will not care about that.

Other possibilities are a psu issue, running at high loads requires more/better power.
A cheap psu can be a problem.

Sometimes artifacts are an early symptom of monitor failure.

Lastly, consider the possibility that the latest driver update has a problem.
Try backing off to when all was well.
