Nothing to worry about. It’s a bug happening on chromium based browsers. Your hardware is perfectly fine.


Quinnell

Omg finally an explanation. I've been seeing this for a couple months!


Suspect4pe

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/526612/chrome-based-browser-artifact/3383738/ Or install Windows 11 24H2 from the insiders Release Candidate channel.


BipolarBLKSheep

I'm experiencing this well at times. Turning off Hardware GPU Acceleration in chrome's settings would solve it, but I would prefer my gpu to handle it over the cpu for heat reasons and because I'm neurotic, so I just deal with it. It only happens occasionally and it goes away almost instantly when scrolling. Now that I know its a bug and not an issue with the GPU, I dont really mind it until they fix it.


KingAmongstDummies

Yeah, I currently have 2 bugs with chromium browsers. The one from this post when I have hardware acceleration enabled. The other one is worse though, when I disable it and I play Youtube in the background it hogs my CPU to like 90% for some reason even though my CPU should easily be able to handle youtube and always has. In a non-chromium browser without hardware acceleration youtube only takes like 10-15% That CPU hogging makes everything else run terrible so it's the occasional black blocks on my side screen or insufferable performance.


IsJaie55

ARE YOU FOR REAL? I'VE BEEN TALKING WITH MY GPU SELLER FOR MONTHS FOR THAT


Connor_rk

yeah close call, same here. I was scared to even start warrantying but luckily i found out in time


IsJaie55

Since when does this bug exist?


SlowTour

I've had it happening in chrome ever since i upgraded from a 1080 to a 3080. so a couple of years, i thought oh great my gpu is broken. honestly I've seen so many people having wtf moments they really should publicize it for awareness.


KenXyroReal

I upgraded from a 1070 to 3080 last year and had the exact same experience as you.


NG_Tagger

Yup. It's a real old bug that Nvidia claimed they fixed some years back (as it was only happening to Nvidia cards at first - but they obviously didn't). Then Microsoft said they fixed it (they obviously didn't either). But now finally, we've got an actual fix coming. It's been extremely widespread over the past 2-3 years, I'd say. So much so, that I've seen Reddit posts about it (on the subs I follow) at least once every day - some times more - over the past year or so.


chellybeanery

I bought a 4090 because I figured my 3060 was just dying a slow death. Read about the bug after setting it all up. It was a painful moment.


itsMETA4

Shoulda got a 3090 bud


Digital_Dinosaurio

Really? I have had random checkered boxes pop up for seconds while scrolling down in Youtube. I thought my GPU was dying. Is Brave also chronium based?


Sir_Clyph

Yes brave is chromium


Digital_Dinosaurio

damn. I guess my 1050 is like the brave little toaster.


SnooDonkeys7108

The only decent non chromium browser on PC these days is Firefox.


Digital_Dinosaurio

What's the best browser for Android?


SnooDonkeys7108

I'm not sure, sorry. I moved off android a few years ago.


TheGoodCrusader

Yes, I also use Brave and sometimes I see the checkered boxes.


AudibleDruid

Oh shit. Because if you look at the top it starts in the opera gx window!!!! It's not the entire screen. I'm starting to feel like it could be opera gx. Do you know what could cause this and how to fix it?


OptimalLaw8270

It's definitely the browser, I used brave and it was doing the same thing to me. Using firefox with no issues now.


colajunkie

Use Firefox.


gtrash81

Hardware Acceleration. Whatever can be done on the GPU, will be done on the GPU. But Chromium devs can't fix the issues since.....ever? I know about these issues since at least 2018.


SlowTour

it's a nvidia problem, ~~only occurs on raytracing cards~~. something about tile rendering in chromium based browsers, also occurs on the steam marketplace within the app. edit:users of 1650 and 980ti have sighted it as well.


_dotexe1337

It definitely isn't just on raytracing cards, I have this occur on my 980Ti occasionally, since some recent Chromium update in the past year.


SlowTour

first I've heard of it i believe you though, i got a long explanation from someone once. it's a weird bug with tiles that conflicts with windows gpu and chrome


NG_Tagger

It most definitely does not. Had this issue going back to the launch of the Nvidia 10-series. It started out as a Nvidia bug - then they got it sorted for short time - then Microsoft fucked something up (and it started affecting AMD GPUs as well - albeit *very rarely* in comparison to Nvidia GPUs) - and here we are. It's just become way more widespread these past 2-3 years, but it's a fairly old bug. Microsoft is throwing out a fix in the next big Win11 update coming soon-ish that actually fixes the issue (hallelujah! - it finally happens!).


SlowTour

and nvidia supposedly have a hotfix available now 🤷‍♂️


NG_Tagger

Not seeing any Beta/hotfix drivers showing it (took a few seconds to check this), so I wouldn't count on that being the case. Don't see why Nvidia would throw out a fix for something they've already tried (and failed) fixing, when Microsoft is throwing out a confirmed fix fairly soon-ish. The only workaround (and not a fix) has always just been disabling hardware acceleration.


SlowTour

you're probably correct, i just remember when i looked into it years ago. i was linked a beta for a studio driver hotfix that's what put me off trying to fix it, i don't know enough about pc's to bother. thought they would've fixed by now though, the explanation i was given was word salad to me chrome/windows/nvidia were all conflicting and blamed each other. a 980ti user and 1650 owner have sighted it as well so it's more prevalent than i thought.


kotenok2000

Not only ray tracing cards. It happens to my 1650


Academic-Indication8

I remember having this issue back in 2016 and uninstalling and reinstalling chrome fixed the issue I remember being so scared my gpu was dying at the time

SlowTour

it's an issue with nvidia cards using chromium based apps, there's a fix coming supposedly. it's been a known issue for a couple years according to nvidia.


StrikerX1360

NVIDIA GPU bug with Chromium based browsers. Just gotta wait for NVIDIA to get their shit together


pooptard99

it is the browser I use operagx and it's been happening to me for almost a year


That1goodfella

I've never had this issue with GX.


AudibleDruid

Apparently is an nvidia and chromium issue according to the comments


That1goodfella

Ah, I have a 3060ti, but I am still on Win10 and will be until EOS. Hopefully, by that time, Linux gaming is more complete.


AudibleDruid

Oh. It's also a win 11 thing too. That might also be why you haven't experienced it. I wanna switch to Linux so bad but I can't because of some programs I use. Also gaming


Realistic-Point7881

Create a dual booting pc.One install of windows and one of linux.best of both worlds.


AudibleDruid

I use to have that but I don't have space for steam and Linux lol


Realistic-Point7881

Fair enough.SSDs are getting cheaper all the time.you could potentially add one into your system for relatively cheap now that the nvme drives are becoming more popular.Ssd sata drives are still decent speed wise


AudibleDruid

I plan on doing it soon. It's a little intimidating to switch completely to Linux but fuck windows at this point


NG_Tagger

>Oh. It's also a win 11 thing too. Nope. Not limited to Win11. This goes way back to a fairly late Win7 update (or at least I think that was when it started - could have been introduced with Win8 - not fully sure, but around that time at least). It's pretty much just become more widespread, with the increased use of Chromium for various elements. But still - Win10 (as the only other Windows version) will get the fix as well, but Microsoft just hasn't specified a date for it - they've just said "later".


AudibleDruid

Ahhhh. Thanks for the correction!!!


Tetrachrome

Yeah I've had this happen to me on Google Chrome only and no other applications, it's spooky but it seems to be just Chromium-based browsers.


Yensidious

Bruh I've been thinking I cooked my 4080 a lil too much


Toast_Meat

Thank you. I wasn't sure what was happening myself but I figured it wasn't hardware related since my wife has this exact issue.


ImPretendingToCare

i thought my literal brand new 4070 Super was cooked, then i slowly started realizing that when it happened it didnt happen on my 2nd monitor and only when i was web browsing. Took a huge breath after that.


BigZaber

FF users like "what?"


Amelieee1

Oh my god I thought my GPU was dying 😭 even bought a new display cable and everything hoping it was just that


HeavyCaffeinate

Oh haven't heard of it *cough cough* Firefox *cough* /s


ahpathy

I just thought my GPU was dying. I had already accepted my fate.


Pajatso_

omg ive been seeing this on opera gx for couple of months but ive ignored it ever since


averagecomedianJ

fr? ive been having this issue for a while, and ive always thought it was a gpu error. glad to know its not me lol


Connor_rk

i wonder if its goinna get fixed any time soon... my pc is straight up locking up after 1-2 days of no restarts but doesnt crash, is still responive to some extent but unusable, cant even restart from start menu only hard reset works... I'll try disabling hardware acceleration hopefully that fixes it Also 4070 (super) user here


AudibleDruid

It is? I'm pretty sure I've only ever seen this on opera gx which is giving me hope it's just the application. I might have seen a artifact on MCC but it didn't look like this.


ArasakaApart

Turn off hardware acceleration in the browser settings.


AudibleDruid

You're awesome. Thanks!


KKSFS1110

oh wow thank you, gona do this too lol i didnt know it was because of this and i didnt care much jajaja. answers come when you less spect them, just like that one thing you stoped searching for...


Sparcle

Yes, I’m sure 100%. Opera is chromium based and at least for Google Chrome there are fixes for it. There should be one for Opera aswell, just google for „opera artifacting fix“


AudibleDruid

You're awesome. Thanks!


Only_Emu9133

artifacts dont look like this


lovetoburst

If it's a Chromium based browser and using a Nvidia gpu, one possible workaround for Opera GX: Enter opera://flags/#use-angle in the browser address bar and change the "Choose ANGLE graphics backend" flag to OpenGL. Restart Opera GX.


AudibleDruid

Thanks! I just turned off hardware acceleration. If that doesn't work then I'll try this. What do you use 128gb of ram for? Just curious


ewenlau

I'm not the same guy, but it can be used for video editing, 3D rendering, live simulations, AI, etc.


WHY_CAN_I_NOT_LIFE

Can't speak for the original commenter, but I use it for machine learning and high quality physics simulations.

darth_meh

Install Windows Update KB5037853 and it should go away.

I had the same issue since September, many had it for much longer. They released a fix for this for Windows 11: * This update addresses an issue that distorts parts of the screen.

darth_meh

This needs to get to the top.


Just_Learnin62

My Daughter had the issue as well and the update fixed it for her too. No idea why it took Microsoft so long to release a patch, I actually bought a new monitor a few months ago thinking it was a hardware issue.


EirianWare

I just update because saw this, and so far no more checkerboard hope they fix this forever. And big thanks for this info


faverodefavero

Use firefox


AudibleDruid

But I like opera gx


faverodefavero

Out of luck


AudibleDruid

I'll deal with it lmao. I ain't switching browsers.


SuperPlays123

Brand loyalty at its’ finest


AudibleDruid

It's a good browser. I can deal witha problem that only occurs every once in a while for a second. I was just worried it was my GPU because I did NOT wanna try and return it lol


ewenlau

You might want to give Floorp a try. It's essential like Firefox but Better™


JackieGlade

I like opera gx too lol


ewenlau

You switched to an OS that doesn't spy on you just to have a browser that spies on you?


JackieGlade

Unfortunately, Opera GX doesn't work on Linux. But they don't spy on you anyway and I wouldn't care if they did lol. I use it on a windows laptop.


ewenlau

>But they don't spy on you anyway They do. There's been multiple proofs of it. >Unfortunately I'd say fortunately


JackieGlade

Idc if some person across the world who I don't know saw what I scrolled through on reddit or youtube lol.


9999999CREEPERS

and not just some person, a large company/government that couldnt care less what some random guy does


JackieGlade

And if they care so little of what some random guy does, they don't even check what he does lol.

Raikou_Kaneki

I have the same issues while using Google Chrome lmao. At first I thought my GPU might be cooked but nah, nothing wrong with the hardware. It only happens while using the web browser.


AudibleDruid

Thank fuck I'm not the only one.


TailorAltruistic9177

Finnaly an answer to the problem I was too lazy to research ❤️❤️❤️


AudibleDruid

Lmao. I'm happy my pain could help you


Leader_Blaz

This could also rarely be an HDMI port or cord problem, in which case it is very fixable.


madeinuranus

It happens to me as well with a 4060 Ti and Google Chrome


Tough_Combination256

Same for me but with a 3060, have swapped my cables as well


The-Sandmanx

There isn’t enough gas in it


AudibleDruid

Ur right. I gotta top off the thermal paste reservoir.

kornuolis

Yeah, Nvidia GPUs have issues with chromium browsers. I thought they fixed it recently but still happens.

I only get this in Chrome and I get it on two different computers. Karsh

Oh no worries its fine i have the same problem the cause is chromium based browsers mine is thorium


Longhorn_TOG

dude i thought my 4070ti was dying....


AudibleDruid

Lmfao


Skullzi_TV

Freaked me out when it first started happening but yeah its just a Chromium browser bug. I have a 2080 TI, had one for a couple years now. Never had this issue until some update went out months ago, now I have it since. Usually flashes on screen for a split second then its fine. Apparently its not harmful in anyway from what I researched.


AudibleDruid

Thank you for the help and info!


Aufd

It might be your graphics card, could also be your monitor. Reseat your graphics card, unplug and plug back in your monitor cable, if that doesn't work replace your cable then try another monitor. At that point you're only the cost of a cable in and you'll be almost certain it's your graphics card


Senor_Max_Power

VariousPizza9624

Disable the **Hardware Acceleration** from your browser

RachelBeeClown

I had this problem too and my boyfriend thought it was my GPU. Maybe the comments explanation might work for me as well.


AudibleDruid

At first, I thought it was my gpu too, but if you look at the top of my screen, you'll see it only shows black inside the browser window. This makes me believe the comments that say its the browser, not my gpu. Hopefully, everything here helps!

Crux_terminatus

So if i were having a similar issue when i play ark? When i open my inventory the layer behind the inventory has almost that exact pattern of disruption. Is it time to to start looking to upgrade a 2070 super?


AudibleDruid

Oooooffff. That might be bad. A lot of info is pointing towards opera gx being the problem for me tho

Holy shit. I thought it was my hardware. Went through and updated literally every driver and my mobo firmware.

backdoor_breacher

I haven't encountered this issue on my 4090, despite using Brave for several years. I would be extremely upset if I saw rendering anomalies like that; it would certainly cause some unwanted stress. I'm glad I saw this post—I wonder if it might be related to a browser extension.


AudibleDruid

A lot of ppl have been saying it's chromium browsers +windows 11+ nvidia bug. I think my picture confirmed this bcuz the black graphical glitches only appear inside the opera gx window. (Look at the top of the window, it's not fucky, just the inside)


Boring-Perspective61

This has been happening to my chrome browser too sometimes when I scroll down


AudibleDruid

That seems to be when it's happening to me. Plus alt+tabbing and exiting full screen youtube videos


DayneTreader

W11 + Chromium + nVidia = chessboard. Downgrade to 10


9999999CREEPERS

go to chrome://flags and change "Choose ANGLE graphics backend" to OpenGL


Rude_Champ93

Its kinda concerning this is happening for chromium. I dont have an Nvidia GPU but my first thought would be a dying GPU


Realistic-Point7881

My pc has been doing the thing you describe in your original post for about a year.mostly on youtube and chrome.Its not quite as bad looking as yours though.I just get little bits of the glitches.


AudibleDruid

This was the worst glitch I had seen for mine. Usually it's small stuff like you mentioned of the same pattern .


Realistic-Point7881

Im a pc repair tech.I was on a post in a Pc repair Sub and this guy had installed the motherboard in the wrong orientation.the front panel connecters weren't connect The Aio looked like it wasnt powered and potentially the cpu power wasnt connected and he was wondering why it wasnt posting.lol


AudibleDruid

Lmfao I fucked up with the front panel connectors on this build. It was a 8 pin plug but the mobo was 10 pin so kept having to move it and spin it to get the right ones lol


Realistic-Point7881

They can be quite fiddly.Some of the manufacturers send out a block now that you add them into then connect the whole block.Way easier.


AudibleDruid

Sounds like asus or cooler master needs to start shipping them with the mobo or case.


Realistic-Point7881

Its the motherboard manufacturers responsibility to provide them.So probably a money saving exercise for some not to provide them


AudibleDruid

Well my mobo was my cheapest part so ig I get what I paid for lol.


Realistic-Point7881

I got a z490 msi board my last build.i reckon i wont be buying anything msi again.


AudibleDruid

My msi laptop is trash. I'll never buy anything msi ever again


Realistic-Point7881

Im gonna maybe wait for intel 15 or 16th gen to do my next build.But the cost is spiralling like crazy with inflation


Jman155

Yeah mine does that in chrome occasionally, from what I am aware it's a nvidia issue.


BenDeGarcon

You can go into chrome flags and set angle graphics back end to directx 9. That fixes it for me. Only thing is super resolution doesn't work.


Intelligent-Piano-34

I’ve been using internet explorer purely for this reason opera/chrome both do this for me


Heavenlyxr

My PC also has the same problem (Intel i7 and Asus motherboard ddr3 can anyone help me


AudibleDruid

It's most likely a bug from a combination chromium + win11+ nvidia gpu. It's not harmful and just a visual glitch. Provably


PNW_Phillip

For now get into the flags and search for angle and set to D3D9

El_Hutler

Ethaton

Very maybe possibly be the HDMI if you are lucky, if not then I’m afraid it maybe be time to light a candle for your GPU


AudibleDruid

Could it be the display port cable in using? Thanks for the help


Ethaton

See if using a different one fixes the issue, if not, try a different screen like a tv or something, if that doesn’t if it then I could possibly be your GPU, what model is it?


AudibleDruid

It's an asus gtx 4070. I'll try that! Some other ppl seem to think it could be opera gx too. Thanks for the help!


Hyuron

Same Hardware here,Same Problem but only in Chrome. So guess its Not the gpu AT least.

Plug I to another screen to confirm but that looks signal or gpu related.
