  • Stretched polygons
  • Flashing textures
Possible Causes

  • Unstable overclock

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Check GPU Temp

If over 85°C, clean your PC fans and improve airflow.

2

Downclock GPU

Use MSI Afterburner to slightly lower the core and memory clocks.

3

Try Different Cable

A bad HDMI or DisplayPort cable can cause visual artifacts.

When to See a Technician

Artifacts are a serious sign of hardware failure. If they appear in all games, the GPU is likely dying.
