So a few months ago I pulled the trigger on some upgrades and the system has been running flawlessly until fairly recently.
I started getting stuttering in games, frame rate drops and on one occasion artefacts! I naturally assumed my GPU is on it's way out but am wanting to be certain before RMA'ing the card.
I've tested my GPU vigorously running Furmark for over 7hrs with a +500 memory clock without issue.
I've run Memtest86 overnight without issue.
My NVME, SSD & HDD are all okay.
I've updated BIOS and all drivers.
Used the below overclocking guide.
GPU temps have never been above 80c!
The PC was running fine, dialled back some game settings and saw a huge boost in frame rates, still some stuttering though on occasion.
Which brings me to today. While playing games I've noticed screen tearing, despite having gsync enabled.
More frustratingly, I've had 3 random restarts, 2 system hangs and failure to post that I needed to clear the cmos to get back and have reset the bios with optimized defaults.
I feel literally at the end of my rope now!
Any and all suggestions as to what else could be going on are welcome!
