second monitor view:

some info:

• this has only happened in one game (Total War Warhammer 3) and the card has been performing more or less fine otherwise, although i have been noticing some minor artifacting in stuff like Firefox.

• my PSU is old as fuck and technically underpowered for the card (EVGA 750W gold from 10 odd years ago) and I’m also using a 2 head splitter cable to power two of the three 8 pin headers.

• CPU is a 9900k which is certainly throttling this thing

my thoughts are to just buy a new PSU and see if that fixes it. i can RMA anytime so I’d rather wait and see. just wanted to hear some folks thoughts as this is stressing me out a fair bit
