should i reflow or reball it ?

Oh, those are memory corruption artifacts, yes.

Have you tried OC'ing the GPU in any capacity?

Cheers!

Those artifacts are a sign of a faulty GPU. Most probably a VRAM corruption issue. Which GPU is it ? Also, kindly provide FULL PC specs...RMA the card, assuming it is still under warranty.

Is this an OLD or a new GPU ? Which Power Supply unit do you have?

I have already replied to you before as well, under your previous topic. That's a very poor quality PSU. It might have taken the GPU with it..That's why you are getting artifacts.....Please STOP using this PSU to power up any Gaming GPU.

Delta Electronics ? That looks like a Generic low-end PSU. Poor quality unit. I won't recommend you to use this particular power supply for any Gaming RIG. I can't say for sure that your current GPU is dead or faulty, but this particular PSU might also damage some PC components in the long run.

Replace this unit ASAP. Re-test the GPU by using some other decent high quality PSU brand and make. Power supplies are an imperative part of your system that should not be taken lightly. Throwing in a budget PSU could result in poor power efficiency, or even a wrecked system.

sorry for asking too much questions i'm lost !
Can reflowing GPU fix those artifacts ?

Might be possible, because you never know what a bad quality generic PSU might do to your system components in the long run. Anything can happen. Some low-end power supplies are also labelled as "Fire Hazard" units.
