What a failing NVIDIA GTX 1070 looks like

I threw together a compilation of a few games to showcase what it looks like when the NVIDIA GTX 1070 Founder's Edition is having VRAM issues. Unfortunately was only able to edit this in Windows Movie Maker, as DaVinci resolve and Vegas Pro heavily rely on GPU resources while editing/rendering. This started happening shortly after using my computer for graphics intensive VR games, specifically in Boneworks. Working with NVIDIA now to see if I can get an RMA. Determined it was VRAM related with diagnostic tools you can find online, only 3 of my 8GB are working correctly, this appears mostly in games that utilize DirectX 10-12. This also causes my HTC VIve to freeze almost immediately when launching any game that uses VR. Hopefully this is useful to someone. I also get these artifacts while using any web browser, especially while scrolling through pages and watching videos on YouTube. (all games on 1920x1080p/Ultra graphics settings)
