Possible artifacting ?
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, focusing on clarity and conciseness:
The following describes an artifact – a color pop-up – experienced during a cinematic cutscene in the game “Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.” I found a similar report online with video evidence (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-5a5RMCJGU&t=572s at 9:32).
I tested my system extensively with benchmarks including Furmark, Heaven, and the built-in RDR2 benchmark, but didn’t observe any issues beyond a brief freeze during one RDR2 run. I've also experienced occasional rendering glitches in fullscreen YouTube videos – likely due to resolution changes or older codec issues.
Given the age of the artifact (observed in a 15-year-old game) and the system’s components, it seems less probable that the GPU is failing. However, considering the GTX 1660 TI is only six months old, it warrants further investigation. The setup includes an RTX 1660 Ti with a Seasonic Focus Plus 550W PSU. It's possible this is simply a rendering issue exacerbated by the specific game or YouTube video content.
If the issue you see is on one title, chalk that up to a glitch in the game, especially for a game that old. If anything you should be more concerned with concurrent titles for that GPU. If you don't see any artifacting on today's games, then you're in the clear.
Might want to list your specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
make sure you're on the latest BIOS update for your motherboard. Then make sure you've manually installed the latest drivers for your GPU, after using DDU to remove your current version drivers. For manually installing, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.

“I encountered an unusual bug in a video clip, consistently displaying a specific visual error. It appears isolated to this recording and doesn't affect other videos I’ve seen. The issue seems tied to a particular video format or potentially older hardware compatibility. I’m investigating if it relates to the video file itself or the playback system. My graphics card is up-to-date, but I haven’t recently updated drivers due to reports of instability with this series. I'm concerned about a potential failing GPU – would such an issue be noticeable even under moderate load? I ran Gwent for a few hours without problems. I'm trying to determine the appropriate duration for stress tests like Furmark or Heaven benchmarks to accurately assess my card’s health, especially considering RTX series cards don't seem to exhibit this problem.”
