Is my gpu dying?
a tiny black square or rectangle that shifts in appearance when moving the camera sometimes shows up in warthunder. It has different colors around its edges, similar to how a display vanishes when you switch between desktop and background or closed game, and it also disappears in sniper view or binoculars.
It might be caused by issues with your drivers. When sharing a troubleshooting thread, it's standard to provide full system details. Please list the specifications of your build following this format:

Include the age of the PSU along with its make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this time.

The Lenovo motherboard uses unique connectors. Are you employing an adapter to modify the PSU connections to the board? Assuming your setup is a Lenovo ThinkCentre A85 tower variant would be helpful from the start. Also, note the idle and load temperatures for your system when under load.
Check if the board requires any BIOS updates. Then, with DDU, remove all GPU drivers (Intel, Nvidia, AMD) and restart. After that, manually install the newest GPU driver from AMD's support site using an elevated command, such as right-clicking the installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
