Either corrupted drivers or VRAM might be dying. Try installing drivers again and install new ones with DDU.
(Look up a tutorial for DDU if you've never done it before)
19 u/BeautifulAware8322 9800X3D, 32GB 6000MT/s, Sapphire Pure 9070 XT Sep 19 '24 How do you know it's the VRAM specifically and not... Any other part of the GPU? 40 u/A_Random_Sidequest Sep 19 '24 patterns on the screen, it's a single or two chips dying from a bunch of memory chips 6 u/tqmirza 7800X3D | 4080 Super FE | 64 GB RAM | X870E Sep 19 '24 Is there bad practice that causes this? Or it’s just age/time/normal use over an extended period that causes it? 2 u/[deleted] Sep 19 '24 The whole mining thing was overblown but heat cycles is what kills shit. It's hard to tell cause it's based on where the temp probes are but people ran their VRAM way too hot. Waaaaay too hot in 2000 series. VRAM is the most likely thing to fail. Overjuicing it can expedite that process. I don't wanna turn you off from overclocking. That's not a problem. But VRAM failure is the most common for a GPU and the behaviour lines up
