K4sum1 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) I recently redid my Windows 8.1 install, and I notice artifacts, like bars on the screen, things looking corrupted or off for a split second before going back to normal. It's not a GPU issue as this doesn't happen when using Windows 7, and the GPU can be overclocked quite far before stability is a problem. I wonder if it could be caused by Aero Glass as I could see that causing issues like this, but I'm not sure. I'll try different drivers and a different version of Aero Glass soon. Edit: Tried 441.66 and 474.06, and they both have this issue, going to try 431.36 next. Edited January 2, 2023 by K4sum1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacyfan Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I found this video that might help fix the problem hybrid artifact fix for 2080ti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K4sum1 Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 That's a bad memory chip, my issue isn't that. I can pass a hour of OCCT with +1200 on VRAM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K4sum1 Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 I tried 431.36, and right as I was gonna make a post about it not having the issue, it just happened. I guess it happens less often with 431.36. Might try a older version of Aero Glass if I can be bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCyborg Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I remember this being discussed in the past and author of Aero Glass fixing it some time after I pointed out how severe the artifacts came across Remote Desktop session. That was already in Win10 era when no more development was done for Win8.1. Another forum member said he was not getting any artifacts in AG version 1.4.5, but I think it was a coincidence due to other factors, not that that version did it right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K4sum1 Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 I tried 1.4.1 and 1.2.5 since i had those laying around, and it still happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing you're the one with a decent videocard, would it be polite to go slightly off-topic and ask what games could you suggest ? Something like Assassins Origins or RDR 2. Thnx. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K4sum1 Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 Do you mean like to play or to benchmark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used this tutorial and successfully updated the drivers. Thnx to @D.Draker. https://msfn.org/board/topic/184056-breakthrough-p2-new-pascal-special-microsoft-nvidia-driver-port-for-vista-x64/ I can also multi boot to win 8.0. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K4sum1 Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 I could try some modern games on Vista to see what happens. I know RDR2 doesn't work, unless the extended kernel got a big GDI update at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K4sum1 Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 Would be interesting to see Dying Light 2 performance on your card. I could swap in a 1080 and see what that does, although it would be a bit before I get bothered enough to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
