Hello, I acquired an old mining GPU for Ethereum mining. After installation, I faced some connection problems that seem fixed now. Now I’m encountering artifacts in certain games or programs. In the video you shared, MSI Kombustor runs to test performance and you notice graphic glitches during heavy GPU usage. It appears the software doesn’t detect any artifacts, but visual issues appear as shown. I’ve heard that applying new thermal paste might resolve this. Please share your thoughts before proceeding. Regards, Jonathan

You might avoid more issues and even have fewer glitches by decreasing the RAM speeds. Mining works better with quick VRAM rates, which could mean the card is set up with higher overclocks or slower clock settings. Cutting the frequencies would be helpful in this case.

It probably won't fix the problem unless you place it directly on the screen.
