Hello,
I am just wondering if I have a trouble with my GPU or is it the driver's fault.
I have just received a GTX 670 FTW from RMA (my old 570 SC died 2 weeks ago from overheating).
So I have installed it and noticed very small artifacts (like one or two lines under close/reduce buttons in windows) or random lines on the screen (especially when I move a window).
Weird thing : when I move windows from one screen to another (dual screen set-up)...the artifacts is still at the same place...but on the other screen.
1st thought were "bad drivers" because I had to roll back to an older previous version of Nvidia driver able to work with a very old 7900 GS that I have uninstalled prior to set the 670 up.
What I did :
- I have installed lastest version Nvidia drivers, uninstalled, re-installed latest ones....no changes
- I have switched the card to another PCI-e port...no changes
- I have dusted PCI-e port ...no changes
Other information :
- When I uninstall Nvidia drivers and get low resolution with Windows built in VGA drivers...no more artifacts !
- I have ran a 24 hour Memtest few days ago... 0 error detected
- GPU never got over 45°C (113°F)
To me, it seems software related...but I can't get rid of it.
Has anyone had the same issue ?
I am considering doing a Windows 10 clean install (again)...in order to start with something fresh, but I would be really disappointed by loosing time if it doesn't change anything
System info : 750 W PSU - Windows 10 x64 - Mobo : Asus Maximus Formula III (P55)
