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. This is very easy to diagnose, make a clean install on a separate HDD and with the drivers from the 430th range. No artifacts, then the programme is to blame, if artifacts are still there - your card is dead. Windows 7 may still be fine as it doesn't stress out the GPU like it should. I observed different GPU usage between Vista and 7. win 7 tends to load the CPU more than GPU. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K4sum1 Posted June 6, 2023 Author Share Posted June 6, 2023 I guess I forgot to reply here. I appear to have fixed it by using 1.2.5. Not sure why it had issues at first, but it's been months without any weirdness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K4sum1 Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 I think I know the cause. It started happening again after I used my AMD card for some testing, and reverted back to my Nvidia card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
