Graphic artifacts.

[FFX]

I were just playing Zen Pinball(Microsoft), and I hade been playing for a while, and I got these graphic artifacts all over the screen.
Anyone else here who has run in to this problem? I guess it just got to warn, I left the Surface alone for a few minutes and then the graphic artifacts were gone and everything looked normal.

The time I ever see weird stuff on my RT screen is when it's hooked up to my desktop monitor via the micro-HDMI cable.

Too vague, this "artifacts."

Distorted graphics with small green, red lines everywhere..

I got the same thing earlier today. It would only do it while running apps. It started as small dots all over screen and would eventually distort the entire screen. I did a restart and everything seems to be fine now. I'll probably go on MS chat and see if this could be a bigger problem. I'll let you know if they give me any pertinent info.

Thank you for your description.

It could be due to any of the following-

- overheating gpu
- gpu memory issues
- main memory issues, used by the application

Wrong colored pixels are normally caused by issues from the GPU memory. While distortion, is from overheating.

And that's the reason I want to know what you see.

Hi all,

I have got the same kind of issue, and I will get an exchange done tomorrow.

For me, this is a result of a faulty GPU chip that, when the faulty section is used, the graphics card shows artifacts.
Can you please confirm?

PS:
I have got this Microsoft Surface RT for 10 days.

Best regards.

Yep, that looks like a bad graphics card. Good thing you are already working on getting a replacement.

Guys - question: that issue occurred on my device, however, only once ... cause for concern and replacement, or just perhaps a fluke? It happened about 3 weeks ago

I'd just keep an eye on it and if it happens again call support.

Graphics glitches can happen. If it was only once it was probably a fluke. Obviously if it becomes a constant problem you will want to replace.
