It just happened out of nowhere. I was scrolling through reddit and noticed that on the left side of my screen the text/images were being distorted horizontally and had no clue what it was. It only happens when I am scrolling, when the screen is still everything looks normal. Upon doing some testing I realized it was only happening with my Nvidia video card. I have a Gigabyte G1 GTX 1070, when I plug my monitor into my Intel HD graphics on my motherboard the distortion goes away. Now I am worried because I have no clue what this might be. I know the other day I was overclocking my card and eventually hit a point where it was unstable and it just crashed and my computer rebooted. After that I just set my card back to factory overclock. I was messing with the voltages or anything I was just playing with the memory and core clock, so I don't think I could have possibly damaged it from that. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
EDIT: Enabling hardware acceleration in chrome stopped it from happening on my 1070. No clue why it started happening out of nowhere as I had hardware acceleration disabled for a few days now. I can still see the distortion/flickering happening when I scroll up and down in the steam client however. Is this a driver issue? If so, why is it only happening now?
