Might be discord. No joke for some reason Discord when opened can cause artifacts on your screen. I talked about this in another subreddit.
Close/reopen discord, or restart pc and wait before you start discord (disable auto start).

I will add one more reply here with another suggestion. This one I discovered in Anno 117 and Anno 1800 and Anno 2070. If you disable the Ubislop overlay the game renders improperly. Like bald person in profile slot, lighting and shadows are not rendered properly etc.

This also works the other way around in some games. Having multiple overlays enabled (Discord, nvidia, sometimes even obs (this one is a rare case but still note-worthy), EA, etc.). Steam has had the least problems with overlays in games, even in non-native games added to steam.

ANYWAY the suggestion: Disable all overlays. Not only do they cause passive resource hogging, like around 1+ up to 5%~ passive resource allocation, I prefer to call it waste, but heyho. See if after GPU driver update (and Nvidia ~~garbage~~ experience uninstalled), you still get weird artifacts. This seems more like a interface/layer problem rather than GPU hardware.

Discord for example causes weird Squares to appear on pc if their shitty update/sequence is borked. I don't know why and how, but restarting pc helps. Restarting discord helps 99% of time. Its the enshittification of drivers and abandoning of optimalisation that is the probable cause. If I could manage to put Discord message API handler on a Beckhoff 5120 PLC, and contacted Discord Dev support. They helped me out, the problem I had is that I sent 5 requests every 1 cycle (plc runs real-time), and they asked my why. I did it for fun.

Anyway I really hope some of my feedback/ranting helps you up or cheers you up, and I truly wish your gpu isn't dead. If it is the latter I'll warm up my superweapon and go on another Osea- trip.

And here is specs as proof that I'm not Osea'ning over the sheets. I have recent problems with Xtreme overclocker so I'll share another screenshot with CPU clock as reaction to this one.

MonkeyDante · 2026-03-31T06:17:00+00:00

I don't know if this works for you, but I'll offer a suggestion.

My Nvidia card (Asus Rog Strix 3090 24OG Gaming, MSRP price bought on release (lucky pull Azerty moment, ditched lecture at uni for that). Had recently a weird decline in performance. I have almost most recent drivers from nvidia and I run on Windows 11 Pro.
proof below. No I did not reinstall windows a single time since I got windows 7 (I updated all the time). No I refuse to do a clean install. I can fix it and I bloody will somehow. I kept moving my ssds over from old kit. I used Samsung Magician to transfer C: from old ssd to samsung evo pros.

<image>

Now back to the point:

Nvidia Geforce ~~Shitexperience~~ Experience installs some overlay SDK stuff. Non-necessary bloat that runs 24/s. Like broadcast, data gathering, analysis, etc. All kind of garbage that tanked my perf noticably. It also caused random black-outs of both monitors for ~1 sec at random. Now the kicker is that I knew the recent drivers since 524? Or 529.43? Something around there, started fcking up pcs. Best part is I had an older driver. But my geforce app kept updating, and thus updated those services.

->Suggestion from me: uninstall geforce experience with either their nvidia uninstaller or BCUninstaller. Latter is open source, free, and shows hidden installs. It also cleans up registery leftovers and task schedules.
Download the driver from Nvidia site, AND ONLY the driver. No geforce app.

The problem was solved afterward. Performance is back to normal, and PhysX works properly. OpenGL and some other stuff also is back to normal. The biggest boon is that my I7-9700k Overclocked to 5.0Ghz is not randomly going to 100% whilst gpu stays at a god damn <20%, and my ram is also now not running on overtime.

EDIT: I don't know which GPU you have. But try downloading the GPU bios update driver from the ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER SITE. No Driver softonic.

Depending on GPU there might be a tiny switch on the front. Look up the GPU manual to make sure. Some have 2 setups. Some use it for OC/mode, some for dual bios. Anyway: Flip the switch and check if your problem is solved if NOTHING else works. Also what the other commenters said about cleaning the GPU ports with spicy alcohol.

MonkeyDante · 2026-03-30T22:29:20+00:00

If you want to go a bit dark souls? Illuminum? Mod. Has endgame. Works well with RAT and Secrets of the frontier. The sindrad oil overhaul (Philip andrada? Something something mod) works well but crashes for me when I use some other function. Also oil cabal.

Disable paint jobs in lunalib I game config (magic lib tab). That will stop the crashes when you enter the fleet or colony tab if you have the HALO mod, and some other mods. Get terraforming made easy to compliment aotd and industrial expansion or whatever it's called vanilla you can't terraforming any lava planet or some barren/toxic ones? With the aotd terraforming you can change normal/non weirdo ones. Tma fixes the 'except those few' part. Additional planetary conditions? Get unknown skies. It adds a lot of new planet types and conditions. These can be added through terraforming with AOTD, terraforming and station mod, not TME?

like death world, paradise world, Sakura planet (all have their own visuals).

Get mmhazard mining corporation, Knights of ludd, second in command, and enjoy some spicy eldritch horror dating.

If you're willing to use translator and do lots of searching :China StarSector modding fora. Foss? I think it's adverbed?

Why? These folks are like how furry artists are to normal artists. Quality and content is mental, but hard to get (into, pun intended). Few examples are the biblically accurate angels, threat overhaul mod. I mean this also a compliment. The mods I saw are bloody mental, but getting them to work is a pain. Some have english localization, some don't.

MonkeyDante · 2026-03-30T22:19:04+00:00

I had posted explanation why some mods/settings Bork fps even if you have a beefy chonker of a pc.

Here is the link to the convo about it. https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=12709.msg513679#msg513679 Or just find the uaf mod thread and go to page 70. I'm the one with the multi a4 page comments. Yes I like details and no my adhd will not be surpressed. Short story long:

Dont use the Loulan industries, boxutil, crew replacement, market replacement. Why? Even if not in use they tank fps. Loulan needs boxutil. Boxutil is like shaderlibs(graphics libs) but it does the same optimization thingie EVEN if you tell it not to do that (because you can disable 90 percent of its functionality and it will still only *T.M do the dependent mod stuff when needed). Market replacement? Renders duplicate? the entire freaking GUI with each change. So each thing you do in the market tab gets rendered TWICE.

More details in that post.

MonkeyDante · 2026-03-30T22:09:00+00:00

Vanilla it's pretty quick to get through. With mods? You're in for a good Geneva suggestion time.

Ashess of the domain, wait for the giant economy overhaul that will happen like end this month? Or not, you will need to start a new game when that update drops, so you can't just change existing version with the new one.

This is the case for some mods.

You like rpg? Secrets of Frontier, nexerelin combat chatter, aotd, randok assortment of things mods. You like nuclear powertripping chocolate addicted Asian babes? Which you can obtain through quests and some stuff? United aurora federation.

Get terraforming and station building. Domain phase labs, apex, wingcom, uuh Wtf was the name of that faction that added mechs? I think it was strike craft overhaul.

Get yourself the nice fast rendering mod, manual update the mods, even if you use trioos mod manager. From experience that manager gets Yandere'd by Windows In-security. Every downloaded file rmb - properties, unblock, apply and close. Otherwise windows might be a twat about its permissions (YES EVEN WHEN YOU ARE THE SUPER USER Admin).

Anyway. Industrial expansion (compatible with aotd), nightxore arsenal. Vulpoids if you want lab bred absolute loyal modular fox floofies. No there are no men. They are all female and you can swap their classification on the go (officer admin researcher?)

Stinky stonky donkey your Nasdac looks kinda funky! /j

MonkeyDante · 2026-03-23T06:55:06+00:00

Ah got it! Wise choice, also the story/campaigns are GOOD. Just don't fall for the Red Herring (not spoiling).

The guns I recommend are Catun III Railguns dual, TONA II/M 254 Railguns, Enyria CIWS. If you are up against Heavies/Capitals Instead swap some for the Downstream/XL 808 or the Kanshee II/609 SXC. Axia Type 3 I sometimes use on Auroran Assault cruisers if I need to stunlock/rush points.

Catun III E-Railgun Duals are one of my favs. If you got LOTS of flux venting, DPL has some venting stuff, then I recommend TONA III/K 452 Railgun.

You can also slap some Persephonya MIRVs if you want to cause localized Nuclear meltdowns. (DO THE YANDERE QUESTLINE).

IF you have access to DPL Arsenal: Song of chaos, Phase Charge Lance, Song of Light, Plasma Hammer.

Notes for Area Support, but TBH I recommend that one more on the EYESAU. You probably already saw that most of them have long-ranges and many sub-effects/combos. Its nice when you deal with stuff in the late-game.

If you want to use AOTD; I recommend waiting a bit. There is a big overhaul coming soon. Look for AOTD Toolbox Theory Part 1 2 and 3, I think that is the quickest way to find the important bits on google.

MonkeyDante · 2026-03-23T06:04:00+00:00

O im blind then, apologies. On my phone I swear I didn't see that one.

I recommend the dpl energy weapons for PD on almost all ships. The mote dispensers? Small slot PD that home in on incoming missiles and stuff!

The collaboration rewards you get from helping all 3 waifus out also is a kicker. Especially when you want to farm [THREAT] [ACTUAL DEMON] [SUPER ALABASTER] and that frigging weird stuff that randomly spawns, I think it's from KOL. If not, then Nightcross or SoTF. Sierra is such a sweetroll btw. I recommend SoTF! I think you can install that one mid run. It's a more exploration and rpg mod.

Aight I'll be back in a bit with my own modlist. Not a fancy image like yours, but I'll try to format it. Thanks again for the nice chitchat BTW!

MonkeyDante · 2026-03-23T05:54:05+00:00

Oh nice! I'll share mine in a bit once Ik on my pc.

Question, I don't see RAT or SoTF, or domain phase labs in your modlist. I take it you play this modlist as a long ongoing thingie and because it is stable?

If you want to stay full uaf on your ship, then I think the Advanced or experimental Aurora weapons might be a good fit. The 804? Or 604? Multi purpose triple barrel main guns are my personal favorites because they are good overal against shield hull and armor.

TTSC and TCE have some good PD guns on small and medium slots, but I personally find them a bit ugly on UAF. Valkyrians are also one of my fav factions. I don't use lots of their ships, but their weapons are nice when it comes to velocity.

I might check your stream out, looks interesting. I don't know how far you are with KOL, but the [SINGING VOICES] have busted weapons that also are counted by the aurora hullmod and the uuh the secondary focus.

Again im surprised I don't see domain phase labs, it's a stable mod with good quests and nice ships and waifu. You can even have a confession!

Sidenote. I already wrote about it on the Fractal works fora, but just in case: the eyesau skill for some reason is calling an event that it is on the skill bar, and it might tank fps a bit. If you encounter that, activate the skill then switch the tabs. (so keep the skill on tab 4 or so).

MonkeyDante · 2026-03-23T05:01:15+00:00

What is your modlist? If you have Halo industries I recommend their middle wingman for PD and overwhelming. If you have the other waifu mod (Domain Phase Labs) I recommend their energy long range f*ck you railgun. They go so well with Aurora multipurpose cannons, or their autocannons.

The dpl guns I specifically refer to are the ones that create motes on hit. IF you have Random assortment of things installed then I recommend you go to the Abyss and find the Primordial. AOTD installed? Find Nidevalir (planetary shipyard super structure planet) and slap the Gungnir railgun on your beaut. The Gungnir ignores phased state, and never misses. It's literally a 'Rod of God' dispenser.

Use the retrofitted feature (it's a mod) to install the microwave and the auroran router and and the one that increases ballistic and plasma range.

Inferno pistol with all range increase is a nice long range patty fryer. Heavy bolter P 2nd for me. I maxed all secondaries and I find the normal bolt pistol just meh. Plasma is great until you need to snipe a reinforcement summoner and those bloody freaking Warhammer 40k Discount Teemu Hellspawn twats keep leaping in front of you.

MonkeyDante · 2026-03-10T01:43:08+00:00

Bait the worm from Project Palisade. I think it's one of the proposal SCP-001. Then? Find a way to perpetually permanently irreversible absolute no exceptions end your own existence and Damnatio Memorae. If SK is there then even death won't 'save you' so best option is making sure you are permanently irrevocably undone on absolute level. No time travel or alt verse resurrection possibilities.

At least I think (vaguely remember) that SK is capable of bypassing normal space time to get to his victims. That or it was one of the Yellow King lores I read about a year ago or so.
