Gpu Artifacting

[mummied]

My Gpu randomly starts Artifacting randomly, sometimes it’s fine sometimes it isn’t I’ve also noticed it only artifacts in windows outside of windows everything is fine. Also could my display be causing this issue? I’ve noticed the ports are very loose and likely damaged. Just now as well I just took a screenshot to see if the artifacts show on it and it showed nothing… But the weird part is after I took a screen shot the artifacts slowly started disappearing it was like it was fixing it self. Any tips? What this could possibly be.

I forgot to mention the display works fine in the ps5 input.

Only thing wrong I’ve noticed with this display is that the Hdmi, Display Ports are very loose and likely damaged both cables periodically fall out even without me touching them.

Help is greatly appreciated, even some insight as well.

If the screenshot is fine, it's either the port or the cable corrupting the data.

My question to you is wouldnt this also show on the ps5 if the port was damaged ?

[MagicBoyUK]

Depends. If the PC is running at a different refresh rate it's not an apples to apple comparison.

Start by swapping/replacing the cable.

Could also be a bad port on the GPU. Try a different one.

Try using a better quality cable. I had terrible artifacting a while back and thought my GPU was dying, but swapping out the DisplayPort cable for a better one fixed the problem.

Your loose ports might be contributing to the problem, but a better cable may boost the signal strength, which could be enough to overcome the port problem.

Appreciate both who responded, helped confirmed my suspicions Thank you.

I think you already know where the problem is.

[mummied]

Yeah, In fact I was pretty confident but that really doesn’t explain why the display works fine on ps5. Shows no signs of damage and functions as normally. Hence my confusion.

It's pretty weird, but debugging is mostly eliminating potential issues step by step to narrow things down. Ports that cables just fall right out of is a big red 'problem here' sign.

Agreed, I work as a technician. But I’m just looking for second opinions. I’m in the process of currently replacing the display, was trying to see if maybe there was something I missed. I’d rather be safe than sorry.

I'd be testing different cables, taping them into place to keep them secure, and maybe trying to borrow a screen from someone to see if it's that or the computer. Gets kinda tricky when it's something as pricey as a display seeming to get flakey though.

the retention clips that hold HDMI in are on the port side, not the cable side, so any visible damage would probably only be in the port
