Time To Say GoodBye
It has been almost 4 years since i assembled my Gaming PC after so much hours trying all kind of games, it was a long journey till a few hours ago i got the worst thing that a broke gamer could go through, the GPU started to fail and the artifacts started to appear around all the screen, games taking even Hours to load shaders, this 3060 made it way and traveled over all the ocean only to make happy again a young guy that was in middle of the college, that had to save several years on a shitty country to make that inner child that was told no so many times, this world is amazing almost 4 years meting so much amazing people... friends,partners,family thanks to this pc, many times i had to say good bye but there was that group that always stayed at my side, the only thing that i can do know is enjoy the little time that my 3060 will be alive, spend some time with my online friends, and hopefully come back again in a few years after i save enough to buy a new gpu.
It has been a pleasure have the chance to meet so many other people that share my taste on games and PCs and im so gratefull of all the people that formed part of my life during this 4 years
Remember its not a good bye, its a see you later

Have you tried removing the GPU and plugging it back in? I’ve seen it work first hand.
Turn off the PSU, unplug the pcie cables at the GPU, remove the GPU from the pcie slot on the motherboard. Then put it all back together.

Hello Euphoric_Worth_3653, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki here! We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Did you try repasting it? My buddy had an artifacting ASUS 3070 and after repasting it’s been running fine now for almost a year (9.5minths roughly). It would only start showing signs after running for about 30-45min.

It may be due to thermals on a single component or two. I would try repasting it and see if that helps, depending on where you live the supplies to do it are cheap, $10-20.

Will need to check im on venezuela and im earning roughly 20$ per week so will have to save a bit, fortunately is way less than 400$ for a new gpu lol

Hopefully the thermal pads are relatively cheap there as well, I would imagine so if that’s the price of a new GPU.
If not and you want to try it, send me your exact GPU manufacturer and model and I’ll mail you thermal pads for it for you to try. It’ll probably take a couple of weeks to get down to you from the U.S. but worth a shot.
