Hiya,

I bought a RX 6900 XT (The gaming trio Z MSI variant, if that makes any difference) used off of eBay - the description said that there were some lost pixels while playing games, so fully aware that there were some issues.

The thing that I've heard the most is "the VRAM is dead", but if that was the case surely it would be on every game and also potentially on the desktop?

I saved some game captures, so I hope it's alright to post them, it's way easier to see than explain.

Some of the worst of it:

Cities Skylines (1): https://drive.google.com/file/d/14RJkNl_fr-sq4j6giWdWH7uXvwVJYhBd/view?usp=drive_link

GTA V: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12HSuxQIA9sv_18xXeFg4piOLMVJdSXBS/view?usp=drive_link

Two Point Hospital: https://drive.google.com/file/d/101MGmy1RQOkTt6Ma7x5ovtyv-2L7YKl8/view?usp=drive_link

but then...

Elite Dangerous looks freaking pretty (although I did notice some issues when I got close to planets): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GYEqURJkUSume5Ylq8ZwbWRDHLgPQdzL/view?usp=drive_link

Dyson's Sphere Program doesn't seem to have any issues at all: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OlUOda4ZVCJwxRGNqT7y4RTQtEmee3XC/view?usp=drive_link

and Minecraft is absolutely fine: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qESnvx4mncbq8pJGLFY1QBvotuHNRGgA/view?usp=drive_link

And I put on a VR headset and was messing around on The Lab and there was the occasional flicker, but nothing else.

​

Can anyone suggest whats going on? I'm tempted to just put it back on ebay, (with these captures so someone knows exactly what they're getting) and just get a new one, but at the same time, I'm both super curious and would really like to actually fix it!

​

Thanks in advance!
