    Have you tried uninstalling drivers with DDU, then doing a fresh install of the latest driver?

    Nope, I removed the drivers and the NVIDIA folder before I installed my 2080, and windows didn't install new drivers after I did.. I updated to the latest drivers today, and rebooted, that's when I started noticing the weird stuff.. maybe I"ll go back to the previous version I had installed and see if it continues

    considering the static nature, i'd first believe these are Tiled cache or color compression artifacts.
     
    Are you using 416.94?
     
    you should be.  it fixes  up similar artifacts in hitman 2.

    Here is it live, https://gyazo.com/4ff08706e309451c1b59fd35affbabe1
    Everything is 'stock' on this RTC 2080 FTW3
    And yes, I'm using 416.94, it only happens in that 1 room, tho i've noticed that grass sometime flickers, like this https://gyazo.com/7ba180587da2b1c0c42799dc151b29e9
    It got worse, I was playing Fallout 76 and my PC BSOD'd w/ a Bad_Pool_Caller and my other 2 monitors didn't go black like they usually do when things BSOD?

    Those aren't artifacts you'd get through defective memory or gpu cores,  those are glitches from the hardwares tiled cache or colour compression

    Fallout 76 was just released yesterday. Expect bugs to be found. Pretty sure your issue will be fixed later with game/driver updates.

    Can you share screenshots of your in game graphics settings you are using and any other overrides you made in the NVIDIA Control Panel so that I can file a bug and look into this?  I don't own this game so can you better describe how to get to this area where it reproduces so i can provide instructions to our QA team?

    As for your BSOD issue, is this game  the only game where you are getting a BSOD?
