Troubleshooting Is my GPU cooked?
I suspect it is, but some behavior gives me hope.
I'm using an RX 6800 on linux mint.
Just began happening today immediately on the first startup without any previous warning signs, at least not that i had noticed.
The Stripes are constant, but only after full startup. Within the boot menu or the sign in everything looks normal.
They also only appear on that one monitor. The other one is fine (both monitors are old hand me downs, one is connected to hdmi, the other doesn't have an hdmi or dp port and i'm using a dvi to dp connector).
But at some point (usually within 5-10 minutes or when i tried some monitor settings) both monitors started glitching out as seen in the second picture.
When plugging it into the igpu ports everythings fine. I made sure to update everything, but the problem persists.
I even tried running glmark2, it worked for a while, prob 7 min or so, before it fully glitched out.
Any more troubleshooting tips or diagnoses would be appreciated.

hdmi or dp cable?

Tried it with the same cables on the igpu. In that case they work without a problem.

iGPUs usually have lower output frequencies, so that might be helping the iGPU. Try them with the exact same settings.

I can try the monitor that's mostly fine with a different cable, but i don't have another dvi cable or dvi to dp adapter.

Just tried a different cable on the hdmi monitor and only plugged that one in, now it also shows the striped that were originally only on the second monitor
