Question

What are these artifacts on screen?

Dec 31, 2019 7:29PM PST


Ever since I bought a new computer monitor, I've been getting graphics in some video games. Particularly, the launch screen for FF14 (game runs fine), after saving in the sims 3, and all of the sims 2, making it unplayable. I dont have a pic for the last two. I'd like to know what's wrong, and how to go about fixing it.

If you would please supply a Speccy Report be sure to untic"install Ccleaner "
Than Publish the Speccy so the pros can diagnose the issue

How did you create that screen?

1. Screen capture? Camera? If screen capture it's either hardware of a driver.
If by a camera I'd try another monitor.

2. Please folk, add in the make, model, age and story.

3. A web speccy would be nice too.
