Funny glitch in every game?

Pe

Well, hello first. When I wanted to play some DiRT 3 today, the game started to cover the full screen with colored dots, completely white, etc. Definitely unplayable. Even after a restart it was still there. But I changed something in the graphic settings before that. Then I wanted to play Rocket League, but that also has strange tips that stick out of the car. Then I restarted my laptop, and then updated the graphics card (Nvidia Geforce 940M). Even that did not help. Can anyone help me here what could have happened?

One more note: these tips are also moving all the time.

Definitely a graphics error. In normal desktop operation does not happen?

Then use DisplayDriverUninstaller (DDU) and uninstall your current graphics card driver. But before that on nvidia (https://www.nvidia.de/Download/index.aspx?lang=de) load the current suitable driver. Then it should work. If not, the graphics card is probably broken.

Hm, hard to say from a standing position.

What you can try:

Delete Graka in Windows and uninstall all software.

Restart the calculator. If requested, do not update drivers!

Restart again.

Install the latest graphics drivers.

Then test again.

If you still have these artifacts in any application, this could be hardware too.

Possibly. Helps to bake graka, but at your own risk. But so have saved twice Grakas.

I'll just try it, thanks

Bake graka? Explain that to me. Do you mean to just let it run at high power or hit the oven?

gr

Yes, that means actually oven.

"baking" can help with some Grakas, as micro cracks in the solder joints are often responsible for aberrations. The baking, so heat can close again. (Solder becomes soft to liquid and thus cracks)

But of course that is not officially supported home repair.

But, yes, that can actually help, as long as the problem is microcracks, but if it's a hardware issue, it does not matter anyway, since baking is the only thing you can do. Carefully nothing happens.

had formerly ne 760ti and ne 960M or something back.

P.S: of course, the Graka must be prepared before baking: plastic wrap away, fan down, thermal grease down (fresh ready) (if available at the M), etc.

There are also some video tutorials on YT

As a rule of thumb: You can bake a graphics card whenever you would otherwise throw it away anyway, then nothing can happen.

Of course, it's always risky because you heat up the entire graka and not just the tin.

If you have read my text fully, you should notice that I do not have a PC but a laptop. So I have no interest in baking my graphics card, but thanks.

Pe

So, thank you for your help, but it has brought nothing. Also found out that it has something to do with the graphics card. Once Rocket League started with the integrated Intel card, everything runs perfectly. Can it be that something else is broken? Or that the Verison is bad? Or is that completely dead for my card?

gr

That's why I wrote M The solder isses no matter where the graka is used.

Do not have to, was just a suggestion.

If this happens in every game, it may be that your graphics card is defective.
