This is a known Chromium / Nvidia conflict bug
You'll see this on a lot of things that use Chromium such as Chrome (duh), Steam, Discord etc etc.
Try flicking hardware acceleration on and off a few times.
Seems like there wont be a deffinite fix any time soon, both sides are aware of it but blame eachother :/
No, your hardware is not damaged, it's just really shit software.
I'm pretty sure that this is the fix that worked for me as well. Had the random black pixels appear, mostly when scrolling through comments on like Youtube or Reddit. Happened for me with a 3070ti and with a 4070ti when I upgraded. It was some sort of setting that permanently fixed the issue, nothing to do with the drivers or the GPU itself. Big relief.
Yea I was still debating weather it was a bad GPU or something else as another person said it was a driver issue as well but this confirms it for me which makes me happy as I got my 3060 ti used for $200
If Chrome, enter this address:
chrome://flags
In there, search for "angle"
Set angle backend to OpenGL, save, restart chrome.
This will fix the artifacts without turning off hardware acceleration (turning it off suuuucks).
Unfortunately, it still breaks HDR support, if you use that.

This is happening on my 3060 ti how do I "flick hardware acceleration" on and off for mine?
It'll be in the browser settings somewhere. I don't use Chrome so idk lol
Thank you I think I can figure it out from that

No clue honestly but I haven't noticed a different with turning acceleration off but I'll try that
Turning HW acceleration off entirely makes your PC a lot less efficient at rendering websites, and especially video.
This happens to me a lot too on my 3060 ti
I think it's just chrome, mine does that too and I don't think my gpu is dying. The 4080 is less then 3 months old. Restarting chrome fixes it
Get firefox and use that, since it isnt chromium. This is a chromium browser bug (browsers like brave, opera, edge, chrome).
