Hey everyone. I have a Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 that I just got. Randomly in game I will get artifacts or big black boxes moving across the screen. Occassionally the game will just crash altogether.
I have a i7 6700k, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and a Gigabyte Z170 Gaming 7 Mobo. I am on the newest Nvidia drivers (376.33) and have flashed the cards BIOS to the newest version.
Anyone else having this issue that can help? I can provide logs, screenshots, or anything else that is needed if necessary.

Make sure your video card isn't overclocked and properly cooled. beside that if it happens in other games than you might have a bad card or a bad bios flash. I have the same card and it doesn't do that. However I did have some weird stuff when flashing the bios, I had to boot in safe mode and flash to back to the original one.

Hmm. I guess I could give that a shot. It did it on the BIOS that came on the card, but could be worth a try. Thanks!
