I had similar problems with my last Zotac card. Buggiest card I've ever had. It was the 3070 twin edge. It was an amazing deal on amazon, same price as a used card! I couldn't believe it... but perhaps that was for a reason.

Anyway, it worked fine for about a week. Then I started getting stutters. A driver reinstall always fixed them but they would always come back shortly.

Then later on I started getting artifacts, tbf, I was running an emulator, so it is possible it wasn't actually the card but it was a game I have played on other cards so... I have a feeling it was the card.

Then it would just decide to stop outputting video at random. A restart would fix it, but after the second time it happened I gave up and returned the damn thing since this all happened within 30 days.

I'm not saying I'm swearing off Zotac as I have had fine Zotac cards before, but if the price was the same I would probably pick something else first.

Anyway sorry I don't know how to help you other than suggesting an rma or sending to a repair place if thats not an option ( which it sounds like its not). Good luck and sorry I wasn't much help.

EDIT: Check out this guy, he's a magician. He will do things most repair shops will not. I don't know what his prices are, but given the amount of time he puts in and the equipment he uses, I can't imagine its cheap.

Thanks for the recommendation

I tried everything recommended and some things that werent but still the same situation. I ran a few stress tests (pics below). I removed the video card from the waterblock and gave everything a good cleaning, replaced the thermal pads and have to buy some thermal paste tommorow before reinstalling the GPU. I'll let everyone know if the cleaning miraculously fixes the problem.If not then I will see if it can be repaired while at the same time give a Rma a shot.
