Windows 8 artifacts

Rich · 02-10-2015, 01:53 AM

Got a USB monitor, works fine with Windows 7 and latest driver. In Windows 8 there are artifacts that appear sometimes, exactly like artifacts caused by too much GFX overclocking i.e. polygons stretching for miles and objects becoming very distorted.

Tried many things, unistalled the displaylink driver and there are no artifacts. I have a surround setup but it produces artifacts even in windowed mode on a single screen. Hope you can fix it as I prefer Windows 8.

I suspect this is something to do with the surround setup. Does it occur if this is disabled and only 1 display connected to the NVIDIA graphics card?

I don't know, it doesn't do it in Windows 7 though which has surround enabled also, so it must be something in the displaylink driver. I thought it might be Aero because it's disabled on Windows 7, have tried disabling it on Windows 8 but it didn't fix it.
