Hello,

Even though I found many forums discussing this I can't seem to find a solution.
I'm running a GTX670MX on an Asus G75VX RoG and starting today i got these weird pixels appearing all over black areas (videos and/or photos).
The strange thing is that when going full screen the pixels disappear.
This can be seen on both the laptop display and the external display.
Checked the temp on my GPU and is stays constantly at 47 Celsius - I excluded the overheat issue. Also the GPU was never/It's not overclocked.
This morning I updated the drivers from Nvidia's support "365.10-notebook-win10-64bit-international-whql.exe".

Does anybody have any idea why is this happening?

This issue appears only when "in browser - check in Chrome Safari and Firefox.
When playing a video in any player - everything seems ok.

Hello,
I know I am a bit late but I thought that I can help though. Maybe you should try to uninstall your graphics driver because a lot of people are complaining from the Nvidia 365 driver as it is making a lot of crazy issues and install the latest nvidia drivers. I hope this helps.
What OS are you running? Seems to me it is a resolution conflict in the software. Happens in Windows 8.x a fair bit and I've seen it in Windows 10 as well.

Whatever program you are using, right-click on the icon, go to properties, compatibility, and check to disable DPI scaling.

See if that helps...

Hey,
Thx for your answer.
I'm running Win 10 on 64 bit.
I;'m on Win 10 since it was launched, but this issue appeared just today - no update was done since i closed may laptop yesterday.
The new video driver was installed just after i noticed the issue - though it would solve this.
Appears only in the browser - I disabled the DPI scaling but no change.
Full screen for videos (eg youtube ) is ok, no pixels, but anything else, small video screen or photos or any images/gifs display this issue.
