Hello, I have a gtx970 SC from Evga, and I was playing Dark souls 3, with everything working perfectly, no overheating (I checked with Msi afterburner) or any glitches, when Suddently the game flashes a lot of colors and a lot of visual artifacts begin to display. So I closed the game, but some artifacts are still there in the desktop.
Reboot, checked the pc, reinstalled drivers, but nothing works.
I can't play anymore, and these glitches and artifacts are constant, is there anything I could do?
Thank you in advance

Also, Psu: corsair cx750, Windows 10 x64

Unfortunately it sounds like you have been hit by the tail end of the bell curve. There's always a percentage of faulty and 'walking wounded' units from a semiconductor yield and manufacturing/assembly processes.

Your GPU sounds faulty to me, but the only way to be sure is to try it in another machine. Maybe you can try it in a friends' computer just before you RMA it.

My motherboard is quite new though, algo a good one. Still, worth testing, thank you
