wallpaper image pass through window
Hi. Just like the bottom right corner, the wallpaper image will pass the window and flash for a while. I am using PNY 4080Super and by HDMI. Because cannot capture the image by screenshot, I think this is about driver or setting problem. Is anyone have idea about this problem

That is typically a dying GPU
You're looking at artifacts
But I am having dualboot with windows and no this issue while using Windows
experienced the oppossite when i used to dual boot, it manifested on windows but not linux (unless forced)
try download 3dmark (the "demo" is free, it just does not let you change settings and you have to watch an intro movie before each benchmark) in windows and run some of the newer tests a few times and see if it manifests there too.
only way to find out if its the driver or the card that is the actual culprit, but as kyle said, what you are seeing is what you would typically see in one form or another on a dying gpu (from experience when one of the memory chips are bad)
As was said this is indicative of usually VRAM issues.
One thing to try, search Nvidia and open Nvidia X server, go to the card, and enable ECC. You have a RTX 4000 card, should support it.
May not do anything, may fix things, but if it is VRAM issues having ECC on will slow the card.
Thanks everyone, just use 3Dmark for several time and cannot discover the problem. I am using OCCT to test the stability of VRAM now. Will try ECC after the pressure test.
Pressure test for 2hrs and no problem in Windows. Also cannot find ecc on my gpu. Thinking to reinstall Bazzite to see if it can solve the problem
Maybe my knowledge is a little off, I believe all RTX 4000 cards support ECC VRAM (disabled by default) with that said;
