I suddenly have these weird black artifacts in my viewport and they won't go away. They flicker whenever I zoom in/out or resize the window. I was wondering if anyone else has ever encountered this issue?

screenshot of the black artifacts

Edit: I noticed that the artifacts went away when I used the render preview and they only showed up in the material preview when the render pass was either 'combined', 'transparent', or 'volume light'

Render Pass Artifacts (Material Preview) Artifacts (Render Preview)
Combined TRUE FALSE
Transparent TRUE TRUE
Volume Light TRUE TRUE
Everything Else FALSE FALSE

Preview Options

Both Blender 3.6 and 4.1 have the same issue

    $\begingroup$ That looks like a graphics driver issue. Make sure that you have the latest driver for your machine installed. It might also be worth updating to the latest Blender version. You're using 3.6.2 and 3.6.10 is the latest for that series. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ All my drivers are up to date and updating didn't seem to help. Though I noticed that the artifacts went away when I used the rendered preview which is interesting $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ No idea in that case I'm afraid. Can you try the latest Blender version (4.1.1) assuming that it's compatible with your graphics card? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ It still has the black artifacts unfortunately so it must be something wrong with my system. Though I'm confused because I've been using Blender on this system for a few years and it's been fine up until now $\endgroup$
