Would a manual undervolt cause it? Originally open fishing stimulator and seen white snow in sky, so they recommended UV it. Maybe I went to low? But haven't seen it since just the once. Anyway you could test memory or vram or anything? Before I send card long wait with out a computer lol

Yes if you undervolted the vram, same issue can happen

Maybe I've a setting in wattman that should be off free sync etc some games fine. One game has snow drops even with stock and undervolt.

Running memtest over night, played the witcher and greedfall without any issues. Maybe it's wattman or poor optimise games I hope.

Drop the memory (vRAM) below stock on the GPU. If the problems disappear you'll know you're looking at a faulty card.

memtest does not test video card memory. only system memory, so a flawless run doesn't tell you anything.

If you've installed all latest drivers and reset everything to default settings, but you're still getting artifacting in games, then sounds like a GPU hardware problem to me.

Hi Guys, just ordered the Nitro+ SE gonna replace my reference card, should it be a straight forward swap installing into my build? Coil whine is too annoying on my reference. Great hear back thanks

yep. just straight swap

really sorry to hear you had coil whine in your original card. a bit of luck of the draw

Yeah recommended what I could do with the reference card return it, trade it in or sell lol also the gpu when connected the fans will be facing down so doesn't give much room at bottom of case should be okay?

Yeah.

Kevin Matthews said:

Whatever would give the most cash.
Or alternatively try to RMA it and see if the manufacturer will replace the card

Don't know if you could help, im seem to having a issue when restarting its just saying restarting while wee circle going round which will eventually lead to BSOD error 41 power state failure then restarts.. Only thing enable is xmp. Even with it off still causes it. Also mouse bes lagging slow on desktop. Ram timings is different in bios than on Team Vulcan description.

Have you tried running one stick of memory - alternate sticks to rule them out (Use the DIMMA2 slot with both sticks)

I realise you have run memtest in the past but sometimes a physical test is needed.
