Heavy artifacts in Debian/Bulleye, mainly on video playback, and esp. Youtube

137 Views Asked by At

Artifacts can be seen in the image below. Most prominent in YouTube videos, but sometimes on system icons. This is what I've tried:

  • 3 different video cards (all Nvidia), using 2 different PCIe sockets
  • nouveau, 470.161.03, and 510.108.03 nvidia drivers
  • Full memcheck (CPU and memory: clean)
  • Tried different OSes: live "mint" USB, live "Ubuntu 22.04", live Fedora, Bullseye, Bookworm, and Windows 10
  • Two different monitors: hdmi and display port -- different cables
  • Two different new motherboards. (Yes, I completely rebuilt the machine twice.)
  • New CPU. (Yes, I tried buying a new CPU.)
  • New M.2 with complete reinstall of Debian Bullseye.
  • Turning KDE's compositor off.
  • Nvidia X11 settings... Force Full Composition Pipeline. (No effect.)
  • Turning off hardware video decoding in Firefox
  • Playing through VLC and mpv.

At this stage, I'm kinda amazed that I haven't found something.

I'm about out of ideas. Have I missed something simple, weird, or complex?
