this has only happened in one game (Total War Warhammer 3) and the card has been performing more or less fine otherwise, although i have been noticing some minor artifacting in stuff like Firefox.
my PSU is old as fuck and technically underpowered for the card (EVGA 750W gold from 10 odd years ago) and I'm also using a 2 head splitter cable to power two of the three 8 pin headers.
CPU is a 9900k which is certainly throttling this thing

my thoughts are to just buy a new PSU and see if that fixes it. i can RMA anytime so I'd rather wait and see. just wanted to hear some folks thoughts as this is stressing me out a fair bit

thanks, appreciate the thought out response. ordered 2 new 8-pin cables to replace the splitter as a first shot.

Is it a modular PSU? Be wary of connecting 3rd party cables directly to a PSU.

I'm no expert, but to my understanding PSUs have different internal setups that require specific cables.

yeah, they're third party but I did seek out ones that are supposedly made for this PSU.
