GPU Artifacts happening on screen

[All-Seeing ErtY'wek]

Hey, since some updates this year, I have a new problem, which has never before appeared in ONI. The problem occurred in Cities: Skylines but not here. That's the screen tearing.

That's not screen tearing, that's a problem with VRAM. You can't take a screenshot of screen tearing without using an external camera, because the ripple effect happens as a result of frame-to-frame timing.

Try running a GPU stress test with artifact detection like Furmark / MSI Kombustor.

"You can't take a screenshot of screen tearing without using an external camera," as you see I can. You can see the tearing on the screenshot i have uploaded. The problem occurs on my laptop with AMD Radeon graphic card.

Okay, but that's not what screen tearing is about. Screen tear is a result of frame updating and is why Vsync exists. What you have is straight up artifacting, which is usually caused by a dying video card.

The fact that the artifacts appear in a Steam screenshot means that this isn't tearing.

Your GPU is generating the wrong pixels, and that distributed pattern is almost always a sign of a problem with a single VRAM chip, which is either getting too hot or is failing in some other way. You can confirm my diagnosis by running a GPU stress test with artifact checking, as I already mentioned in #1.

Or if you feel you know better, by all means, do whatever pleases you. However, if you were qualified to diagnose and repair computer hardware, you'd already have done so rather than posting to a Steam discussion asking for help.

Thanks.
