Hello,
lately I am trying a GT610 PCI by Zotac and only with this I find sometimes in the Win 8.1 accelerate gui or even the accelerated web browser showing the attached gfx artifacts, only rarely and once that part of the page or the entire page's refreshed those lines disappear.
I've never seen such problems in games (even stressing DX11 tests) but only on static accelerated GUI. I'm using the latest 391.35 drivers for this GF119 A1 gpu.
Until now when rarely happens (I don't think it's related to heat the GPU was @40°C when I took the screenshot of this hapenning scrolling this forum with a chromium based gpu accelerated browser) it goes away when a new window or web page is refreshed but if I scroll that page the white lines moves up or down like they are a final rendered part of the page itself together with the web page and if I close down the window the lines remains inside that window and doesn't show up in the background so I suspect is something to do with a single rendered task not something "broken" that might be visible through every windows/layers like a permanent artifact.
EDIT: I thought it was solved with a driver downgrade but these lines still appears in the web browser/GUI.. 🙁
EDIT2: I think this happens only in the Atom based mini-itx PCI board because I didn't see those artifacts in the Core2/G41 config using the same card. I suppose the compatibility of this card might need some specific board and power requirements for such "high end" power demand that get close to the PCI bus limit. So until now I think it's solved.
Thanks
