I ran into this the other day.. i booted up a test flight and had this in the image:

 

 

I should have just closed it down and verified if it was present in all of windows 10, but i didnt.. i just killed p3d and reopened it, second run it was fine.

 

I think given that i was able to screen shot this, it is probably NOT video card hardware related?

 

Throwing this out there in case anyone else has seen it.

 

Thanks

Oops..edit : (no scan lines with LCD).

But it does look that way.

 

gb.

Bad connection or your card is overheating.

By coincidence, I saw this exact same thing yesterday.  I had just upsized the cursor arrow, to help my failing eyesight

 

So I put the arrow back to its original size (smallest of three) and the distortion disappeared.

 

I had a job finding the size adjustment, and wonder if what I found is the "floating" (or a name like that) cursor, which has caused problems in the past.

I can confirm this happens with my 1080 FE on my Test PC also ... not very often, has happened about 3 times.  Glad to see it's not just me.

 

Cheers, Rob.

 

EDIT: It's isolated to just my 1080 FE, tested with 970 and Titan X in my test PC and all good.

I dont have that problem. I have a Gamerock 1080.

Ive had this happen once on my PNY 1080 FE

I've got a FE.

 

Never seen something like that, at least til far.

If drivers are up-to-date, I'd also have a look to the connection (healthy cable?) and get rid of any OC.

Geez...

 

Happy flying,

Happens now and then on my FTW card too. Weird.

I have had it happen once only on my ASUS FE GTX1080.

 

I was trying the highest SGSS and I thought it was because it ran the card too hot. It went over 87 degrees.

 

At my normal setting, sits about 54 and never seen it since!

 

Cheers,

Ehm...mine runs at 80°C even with no SGSS with unlimited fps 2560x1440 @144Hz/Gsync, 65-70°C with 30 fps lock.

Quite a difference compared to your readings: am I missing something (maybe W cooling  :Nail Biting:) ?

One can also cap the GPU with a temperature limit. I use EVGA Precision X to do this. I cap the GPU at 70 degrees Celsius and everything is fine.

My Asus Strix 1080 does this on one in ten startups, while not as severe as your picture, maybe one distorted line for a second, it has done this with the last four NVIDIA drivers. Not a heat problem as the card, especially with weather cooling down in Calif. idles around 32c and @ 100% load 70c.

Not cables either.

Overclocking glitch maybe? Moderate overclock under 2000MHz.

You have got to love computers...

 

YMMV has to be THE motto!

 

I am flying the FSLabs A320-X right now and my GTX1080 is 53C.

 

That is using 4x SGSS, 4/8 (8xCSAA), FSX Gold, DX10 Fixer, 30FPS internal locked with 1/2 VSync on a 60hz 27' Dell Monitor.

 

FPS are 29.5 to 30, flying over FTX AUS SP4, with an i7-6700K OC 4.6ghz.

 

It was this airplane at 32x 8/24 8x SGSS that sent the temp up to 87C and I was still at the Gate! (Auscene YPAD Gate 25)...

 

I don't use water cooled, it is a stock day 1 founders addition 1080. But in my computer, it is very sparse grid sensitive. If I run at 2x SGSS, it does not even reach 40C.

 

So I settled on 4x SGSS with 4/8 in the Fixer.

 

I look forward to the BBQ!

I swear the issue that that they idle the cards at 60c to keep the fans from being loud but I'd rather have a loud fan than a burnt up gpu,if our CPUS idle'd at 60c we'd all be really upset. I set a custom fan curve so that at 60c the fan goes to 100 percent and turns on at 30c,rarely does my card hit 60c now,and I cant even hear the fan over my h110
