New used 970 Artifacting in one program and on some Internet videos
13 replies, posted
I just purchased a used gtx 970 from eBay that's 4.5 months old (The eBay seller included the newegg receipt) that works fine with the first person shooter games I play. When I run unreal engine on certain "realtime" windows I get artifacting. I also get artifacting of a different kind on some (not all) YouTube videos. When I plug the card into my old LGA 1156 board these issues go away. When I plug my old 7970 graphics card into the board him having the issues with the 970 the 7970 runs fine. The manufactures out tag of the 970 says my card is fine and that it's the drivers or internet speed/plugins (I have a 200Mb connection) I uploaded videos of the issue to my Google Drive at the link below. the tempures are fine at around 71C when running Heaven. Is it a driver issue? I have tried multiple drivers and none fix the problem. If anybody could offer me insight into what's going on I'd appreciate it.

I know the latest Nvidia drivers have an issue with Chrome, so that's why there's artifacting there

I'm on the latest drivers and I have no issues whatsoever with Chrome

Are you running the 970?

thanks for the info youtube video plays fine in IE
you can fix the artifacting in chrome by going to chrome://flags/ and disabling Hardware-accelerated video decode

Doesn't seem to affect everyone. Friend of mine has an identical card and no issues in chrome, while I do.

[QUOTE=Lolkork;51365009]did you fully remove the AMD drivers before switching GPU?[/QUOTE]
I uninstalled them but didnt remove them with revo uninstaller or anything like that
Try using DDU and install some recent drivers if you still get problems its most likely the gpu, buying used cards is always risky tbh unless they are really cheap I guess.
Buying used cards are fine as long as you know what you're looking for and avoid deals that are too good to be true.
Has it been overclocked by any chance?
Recent NVidia drivers are having issues wit downgraded memory clocks and flickering UI items. Downgrade to a version from 2 months ago for the time being.

This isn't a real solution. It doesn't fix the issue with the GPU; it just tells Chrome to stop using the GPU. If he's having issues in games as well, there might be other problems that need to be addressed. Furthermore, disabling hardware acceleration puts a lot of strain on the CPU.
