Hello everyone,

I posted a thread few days ago about my problem and basicly I am having graphical artifacts in games. I was having it with my old card, which I have replaced and bought 970 afterwards. Now I am again having same problems with my EVGA GTX 970. Here is the video of my problem.

So since today I tried these;

1-) Clean install with driver sweeper
2-) Memtest for RAM
3-) Heat is normal
4-) It's not the monitor, tried another monitor, same

So everything scratched out, finally I think the problem is PSU, because no other computer parts left to blame :) The PSU is Cooler Master GX 750W

The main and the most important question is; if the problem was PSU, is there a probability of artifacts going out when I change the PSU with a new one, or is my card permenantly damaged?

I need really help guys, please help me :)

Have a nice day

Are you sure that you are not using up too much of the 3.5GB of VRAM on the card? I've had experiences in the past where using up too much VRAM caused articfacts, try lowering your graphic's settings down a bit and try again.

It artifacts regardless of quality, even if it is in ultra or very low. I actually tried lowering everything down and I end up with getting low quality artifacts :)
