A CAD workstation user reports that visual artifacts—such as random geometric shapes, flickering color dots, and line tearing—appear across both screens only when performing heavy 3D rendering operations. When the system is idle or performing basic desktop operations, the display image is completely stable and crisp. The technician has already replaced the DisplayPort video cables and verified that the monitor refresh rates match the manufacturer specifications. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of this issue?
- Overheating GPU memory or failing onboard Video RAM (VRAM)Cevap
- BCorrupted monitor device driver software within the operating system
- CInsufficient video cable bandwidth capacity for high-resolution 3D graphics
- DA failing backlight inverter board inside the primary LCD monitor panel
Cevap
Overheating GPU memory or failing onboard Video RAM (VRAM) is the most likely cause of rendering artifacts under 3D workload.
Visual artifacts such as flickering dots, checkerboard patterns, or stray geometric lines that manifest only during intensive 3D rendering tasks indicate hardware degradation or overheating of the graphics processing unit's onboard memory (VRAM). When VRAM overheats or fails to maintain clock stability under heavy load, corrupt data is written to the frame buffer, resulting in visible screen distortion.
