Hello

2 weeks ago I bought a new Asus ProArt 4070 Ti OC and periodically i see strange artifacts that looks like this "effect" during scene switch:

I've tried to record it but no luck, lol. Mostly it happens when i screenshare a movie in discord to watch together with a friend. When i play in league of legends i have zero problems, also played cyberpunk for 5~hours and there was not a single artifact(also tried in hunt showdown while streaming it in discord), tried running furmark stress test for 10 mins without a single artifact, same goes for 3Dmark stress test.
Any idea what it could be?

Before this new gpu i had a 1070 Ti and it was working fine, everything else is the same.

I've tried:
  • reinstalling gpu drivers with DDU,
  • reinstalling my media player classic
  • changing dvi cable to another one.
  • turning on\off hardware acceleration in Windows\apps.

Could it be a possible problem because of my old display or its a discord problem?(Dell u2412m but as i said 1070ti worked flawless on this display) but today i've got same artifacts while watching stream so probably its not a discord issue.
Hope you can help me because i feel a little bit sad.

So hopefully you try it and another browser. Try hardware acceleration off as well in browser, not sure if you tried already. Or turn off hardware acceleration then back on again before playing a video. Same with that RTX feature, see what happens.

Sometimes just turning things off and on does strange things so trying to open possibilities for you to explore. Perhaps clearing cache can help too after changing settings and driver installations.

Its very problematic to test things in browser since artifacts happened only 2 times there.
Also i've contacted Nvidia support and did some test today:
1)Uninstalled K-lite codec pack and installed Shark007 portable codecs(im not still sure if i installed them, its a pretty strange thing)
2)Made a clean windows boot like Nvidia support told me to do
3)Didnt use Discord's screenshare(but i think discord isnt a problem since i had once artifacts when i was watching stream on twitch)
And today after watching 3 different movies(summary for like 6~hours) i had not a single artifact.
So it was either a lucky coincidence for artifacts not to appear or we found a right direction to find a problem that causing those artifacts. Guess il experement with those things in next couple of days to see where is exactly problem or it was a lucky thing that artifacts didnt happen for 6 hours.
 
I'd also get rid of the ancient Media Player Classic and go with a maintained open source: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/ updated last month.
Actually mpc-hc are getting updates on github(idk if its official or not https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases ) also im pretty used to mpc and love this style etc.

Speaking of my real issue - i've done some tests today and im 95% sure the problem was in k-lite codec pack, since i've switched from klite to shark007 codecs i had not a single artifact during movies even without a clear windows boot.
So any idea how to fix k-lite codecs so they wouldnt produce those artifacts?
 
How about you capture some gameplay instead of just videos.

And on page one where you claim the artifacts don't happened and show "the same clip" again, those are two different scenes.

You didn't buy a 4070 just to watch videos so to rule out codecs, play some games and recapture them messing up. If they don't, it's codecs or your video files.

It only happens in media(browser,player,etc), i had not a single artifact in games(and i hope they will not appear).

Those 2 clips are the same scene, lol.

Well i've bought 4070ti for future(it was a pretty good offer)+for new 2k monitor which will soon arrive, i spend 60%of time watching somethings and 30%for games(10% surfing web, chatting, etc), so its kinda important for me not to have any artifacts when i watch something haha. And about codecs - i think its a software problem too, but codecs doent affect browser player according to my knowledge and some google searching, so i dont understand why this thing happens in browser. How could my new gpu and browser conflict? thats the real question, because after installing shark codec instead of klite codecs i had no issues in my Mpc-hc player
