New Top Spec iMac Graphics Card Issue

[Roberto Barcellona]

Hi Guys

Just wanted to know if anyone has experienced the problem in the video, and whether they think it is hardware?

I rung a senior technician at AppleCare and they have told me to book it in as it looks like a hardware issue with the graphics card. This will be my 4th Apple with a graphics card issue, I can't believe it.

Please watch the video and let me know your thoughts and if you have experienced this issue.

Thank you

Roberto

Does that artifact ever appear on the desktop or in other applications? If yes, that seals the deal. Graphics hardware.

Haven't noticed in anything else yet but since I have bought the iMac only used FCPX, watched movies and safari.

I have reported to Apple so they know there is a problem.

Will this affect the quality of my videos when exported and rendered on various platforms?

I have never really understood what a faulty Graphics Card will affect as I can still edit videos. What will it stop me doing eventually?

So the problem is getting worse, this is an update of 3 week old iMac top spec.

Graphics cards keep failing on me but Apple can't tell me why.

I reckon its Spyder 5 hardware and software.

Heres the lastest video...
