For about two weeks I have been having problems with my GTX460 card. After 4-7 days of uptime GPU sorta crashes, geometry and texture artefacts start to appear. Restart doesn't help, the only solution is to power off / power on PC. Then it works perfectly for a couple of days, not a single glitch, I could run FurMark for hours.

I was thinking maybe it's the Windows Loader causes such problmes, but today I found the thread at nvidia forums regarding exactly the same problems, and it happens in Linux and Windows XP too. And with different GPU brands.

Screens from the thread



I tried once to delay power off / power on after discovering artefacts, and kept PC running for the next week, showing Desktop and 3D problem jumped to 2D, color horizontal lines appeared and mouse cursor and windows started to leave trails while moving.

Looks like the problem is like a memory leak but for GPU itself. And GPU needs to be power off to reset to a clean state.

Any humpers with GTX460 and 1+ week uptimes ?
