    Hello

    This is a common issue with versions of drivers and some Windows Updates. Usually the manufacturers and Windows release eventually their respective aligning fixes. Other option would be to remove the GPU driver and after reboot install a previous version of the driver.

    In the meantime, I would recommend to apply the 3D settings "per game" basis, to avoid the drivers interfering with Windows environment. For example for Nvidia drivers:

    Nvidia Control Panel>> Manage 3D settings >> (Globally)Image Sharpening [No Sharpening, no GPU scaling] ... apply
    Nvidia Control Panel >> Manage 3D settings >> (Globally)Low Latency Mode [Disable] ....apply
    You have to REBOOT after that.

    Otherwise I would recommend to post a question in the Forum support of the card manufacturer to find a viable workaround until patches are released.

    Hope this helps in your case,
    Best regards,

    Run Memtest86 version 9.2 (or newer version if available) for four passes.
    (testing can be performed overnight)

    Repeat the test so that eight passes are performed.
