Identifying issues
I have a gigabyte z690 motherboard with a i5-12600k a Samsung m.2 and Samsung 2.5 ssd and 4 tb hdd the gpu is a evga 3070 and the psu is a evga 700 watt and 2 16gb stick of ram and there are Kingston fury beast. Ever since it was built I have had problems with blue screen of death and recently it started artifacting I tried uninstalling the driver with ddu then doing a clean install tried doing a complete reset and reinstall of windows I’ve made sure the vga cables are all the way in I tried putting the gpu in one of the other pcie slot and the artifacting got even worse I ran the gpu z and it says the bus and bandwidth are unknown and the memory is at 0 I’m wondering if the gigabyte motherboard is no good or the gpu
Are you referring to GPU RAM or regular RAM? Changing the resolution to a lower setting won't cause artifacts if you're using normal RAM.
This appears to be a GPU-related problem. I'm initiating an RMA for the GPU if there are issues in both PCI-e ports. Keep in mind, EVGA is exiting the GPU market, which might affect replacement options, but I recommend proceeding. There should be many RTX3070 units available to fix any related problems.
