Font trace when scrolling

[lukaz lukas]

I am not sure what this is or what is causing it, but when I scroll fonts leave this white trace, what could this be?

It may be your monitor... I used to have an old monitor that had a slow response time and dark colors would leave a trace as they moved across the screen.

Another suspect may be the graphics card. If you have a graphics card, have you overclocked it? If so, try undoing the overclock and see what happens.

The monitor is couple months old, its acer k222hql

My gpu is r9 390 8gb which is overclocked but I dont really want touch it, as it may void my warranty

Is it overclocked by factory or did you do it yourself? If you overclocked it yourself, try setting it back to the way it was when you got it. Keep in mind that you don't have to physically touch the card to overclock or underclock it.

Also, TN monitors usually don't do this, I no longer suspect the monitor.

Its factory overclocked, what I mean by not touching is, I rather not downclock I would just try get a RMA for different gpu because I am experiencing many issues with r9 390 and I would rather ask for gtx 970 if that would even be possible

This current gpu is actually new replacement for previous r9 390 which was faulty

Also a week ago while playing battlefront I had seen some artifacts, it was very rare and only on some objects, I contacted the store where I bought it from and they advised me that this is bad driver issues and that I should reinstall it which I already done. Maybe the issues was caused from reinstalling the drivers?

It's likely not a driver issue... Try RMA one more time. If it still happens at that point, then you'll just have to accept that the tracing is a defect in all cards of that model.

I think it will be difficult to get 2nd RMA, I will have to try

Thank you for your help.
