Why does my game pixelate when looking at a specific pixel. Happens in other games too. If this is not right sub for this, my bad.

    My immediate guess would be that your GPU is dying in some really weird fashion.

  2. since it’s one pixel, look like the GPU or screen is dying , test with another screen.

    I had something similar with my rx 570, also wierd. In some games (GTA, Rocket League…) there were let’s say particles, which failed so this means I had no fire at all, no smoke no nothing. Another day only the sky did wierd epilepsy things. The other day it was the powerlines that… did things (see pic). Good indication that the GPU dies a wierd death. 🙂

  4. A recent Nvidia driver did this for me (about 2 weeks ago). The most recent one fixed it. Try updating driver.

    It would only happen every once in a while and across multiple applications even desktop. A restart would fix for a while but comes back periodically.

    How can one look at a specific pixel in a game? The pixel is on your monitor, no matter where you point you are always looking at the same “pixel”.

    Like others said, it could be the driver. But I would not only try the newest driver, but also older ones.
    Older NVIDIA drivers can be found with the [manual search](https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx) but I’m not sure where to find older AMD drivers

    You could also try a different HDMI or DisplayPort cable, though I don’t think that’s the issue here

  7. Your going to want to uninstall the game and pray that fixes the issue. If you insist on reinstallying dogshit Spyware csgo clones and the issue is still there it’s time to get a new gpu.

    I’m pretty sure it’s driver issue, if it was monitor or the gpu itself it would be more common than one spot. So DDU and reset everything if you have tinkered.

    Hdr settings maybe? I tried having it on a few times and every time the same thing would happen. With a static screen the text was fine. The moment I’d look around text would become pixelated until stationary again

    Possibly too hot. If not, sorry for your loss.
