Hello.

I've recently been getting random artifacts on Rainbow six siege.
These are ss's below I took when this happens, the only way to fix it is to restart the game or swap the game to one of my other monitors during playing then swapping back, although the artifacts dont show on the second screen. Alt tabbing out of the game to desktop shows no artifacts on the desktop :confused:

Excuse the pictures I took them quickly using my phone.

I game at 1080p on a dell ips screen on a hdmi connection, everything seems to be running o.k and all temps are looking nice and low. So far I tried swapping out the hdmi cable and checking all connections, reseating the video card and changing video drivers. I'm at a loss as to what else to try and am open to suggestions...

My system:
i7 5820k, 32gb ddr4, Zotac gtx 1070, superflower 750w psu.

I've tried Homefront revolution but that was a short play maybe 30/40 minutes. I'll try and play something like Witcher 3 or gta v tomorrow for a few hours and report back.

As an update to this havent had a lot of time to test, seems fine on majority of games. Siege after recent nvidia driver updates is still showing artifacts after a few rounds, gta 5 shows artifacts after about 3 hours playing much the same as siege. These seem the main culprits, should I rma?
