purple artifacts on GTA

where have you acquired the game?
if through a game service; have you tried verifying game files?
if from an original game CD; it would be 20+ years old now and probably somewhat corrupted.

and as I asked, "have you verified game files", through Steam?

Full system specs

this has nothing to do with my specs but here are my specs anyways:
rx 6700xt
i5 12400f
16 gb ram
750w power supply

i have a very cheap hdmi could that be the problem?

Well, if you're gonna just dismiss ideas, it makes life more challenging. There are many reasons to ask for the specs, so we can better understand what's happening, for one.

Are all your system drivers up to date? Have you uninstalled the GPU driver with DDU and reinstalled fresh GPU driver?

What bios are you running on the mobo?

Yes, a cheap cable could cause this too! Get a better one and try it out.

Have you any overclock on CPU or GPU?

Which exact power supply? If the PSU is crapping out, or not providing clean power to the GPU this may also be an issue.

all drivers are up to date
i have the gpu undervolted, but i tried putting it back to its original voltage and that did not fix it, i can't lie the power supply is garbo but i dont think its whats causing these artifacts cause they appear only on gta, i'm going to try a new hdmi to see if it fixes it

i don't see GTA even being offered through Steam.
appears their earliest option is GTA 2.

if you acquired this through some other means, make sure you have the proper game files.

Okay. You know you need to change it out. The PSU is the heart of your system. You don't want a bad heart in there right? If the PSU is not delivering the required voltage on each of the rails, then things like this can happen. Also, the PSU if very bad, has the potential to take some components along with it, if it goes.

In terms of the GTA being the only game that presents with this issue, could simply be to the load type it puts on the CPU/GPU and thus your PSU. Did you use DDU?

Swap the cable out. See how that goes.

Which bios are you running on your mobo? ANd which exact mobo is it? You can use CPU-z on the mainboard tab to determine this.

i wouldn't think it would put any more load on the system than maybe running some advanced solitaire games.

even on an older iGPU you could emulate the original Playstation games with some decent performance.
this came out maybe a few years after that, before the Playstation 2 for sure.
