I just bought a rMBP a few days ago and it's been great until now. All of a sudden I'm experiencing strange artifacting and screen glitching.

For example:

Mousing over the dock with magnification turned on - app icons get little black lines through them.

Web browsing in Safari - little glitches where the tabs are, especially when scrolling.

Waking from sleep - lifting the lid and the screen will flash momentarily.


What on earth could this be? It's not like there's a dGPU in this thing.

Meanwhile my 2007 MBP with the nVidia 8600m is fine...
