Hello all,

Looking for some input on some new graphical issues I've started having on my 3060 - I believe its called artifact-ing/artifacts are appearing in my games, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. I've done a full uninstall using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and ran from safe mode to totally wipe out the old drivers. I re-installed a fresh driver package from nvidia.com and installed drivers only (without GeForce Experience). The problems still persist. Current drivers are Studio Driver 471.68.
 
It started happening while playing Divinity 2, so I loaded up another game I had installed and saw it there as well.
 
I purchased this card in May and haven't played many games since then, but the graphics issues are very noticeable now, so I'm sure they weren't an issue a few months ago. Looking to see if anyone knows more about these issues/if I should just go straight to RMA. Pictures and system specs below, thanks a lot!

    Do these occur on both the displayport & hdmi output? If yes, I would rma it.

    yeap,  it looks like it's overheating or overclocked to far causing graphical glitches.
    What case are you using ?... & what program do you have to control fans.?
     
    If you can set the core & memory speeds down about 50Mhz and the artifacting stops  &/or increase fan speeds and the issue goes away ...you might as well start an RMA w/ EVGA at your best convenience .

    Yes - I've just duplicated the graphical glitch on a different monitor using an HDMI instead of display port.

    I don't typically use a program to control the fans and never thought about it much since I usually don't play graphically intense games. I don't know the case exactly; it's a large ATX prebuilt case from Cyber PowerPC that I've upgraded over the years.

    I downloaded MSI Afterburner and tried to underclock the core and memory by 50HMz and the issue persisted (updated original post to include this screenshot).

    Thank you both for your input, it seems like starting an RMA is my best bet.
