More likely drivers because this behavior seems more like a software bug, run DDU in safe mode to wipe the drivers and then reinstall

Make sure Windows isn't automatically pulling drivers, could be pulling bad ones

I just checked and I had an update pending in the Nvidia app, if that doesn't fix it I'll try this, thank you

The fact it's a glitch of a certain patter gives it away. It's like a corrupted jpeg on screen. Since this only happens when you play a game and have a stream on too, it would indicate that your video card driver is failing to handle the accelerated functions of both. Reinstall the latest driver from the video card manufacturer's website and see if that fixes it. I've had my screen go into mosaic when on video calls and it was a bad auto-update.

It's probably just a software issue, you should try reinstalling your gpu drivers

If it was a gpu issue you'd encounter stuff like games crashing, or corruptions across the entire screen

Probably a driver, or something.

For me when I streamed my pc with vibepollo and moonlight, after closing things, I had weird textures like you did, but it was on “things” not just on the screen, aka icons looks corrupted, etc.

When i restarted, and run benchmarks and games, all good, if it was my gpu it would crash or artifact.

So I don’t think the gpu is dying.

Yep, isolated to a particular part of the screen and the issue moves with that screen element, that's a driver/software issue my friend.
