I've had my benq for 3 years, im not sure where are the other cables tbh after I moved this summer I threw away my big monitor box to save space

If I take a HDMI cable from another monitor will it work?

As long as you use the OSD (on the monitor you intend to use), to set that monitor for HDMI input...yeah.

You've checked everything else..the only thing you haven't checked is the physical cables. Eye balling them won't work, you have to substitute and see if the problem remains.

"I have looked everything else" no far from it

Im not a technician or specialist to inside computer hardware stuff, I know basic at most.

I will test another wire later but its 99% not that, I tried pubg for 20 mins on a realllly old pc 2 months ago and I had 0 artifacts

Using the same cable and monitor as I use now

That"old PC" may not have had the cajones to "show" the artifact. Just a possibility.

With the other gpu, I used to get sometime, 1 video out of 100, red dots moving inside youtube videos.

RMA gpu, no dots so far but still artifacts

Something has to do with each other, I rly thought it would be gpu but fixed nothing


I could literally go at the store close and get it looked at but will cost a bunch probably and then they will charge me hardware that may or may not be the issue. and could get that hardware free if I rma it the place I bought it from

Testing one the old PC may not eliminate the cable as a problem.

Just try a different cable, and see if the artifact disappears.

Actually, forgo any of that. Grab old drivers (start with several releases back) & DDU your current ones. Reboot when prompted & install the old drivers (reboot when done regardless if there's a prompt or not.)

Tried that weeks ago already

It's not the cable. Video is recorded at the GPU level, Before it would go through the cable.. The fact the vid shows the artifacts proves its not the cable.

It also appears thro steam streaming to friends.

If it was the monitor or related I think only I could see.

U right doe



Any idea what could be the problem?
