    Simply put; is there any way to check if my VRAM has any problems?

    Everything I google is from many years ago and don't really answer my problem. Surely by now there must be some way to give me a sign if my VRAM is corrupted or something..?

    It's not enough to test my graphics card for problems because I want to know what in the card is broken.

    You would have to use proprietary diagnostic software.

    Ah thank you! Didn't seem to find any problems though. Back to the start then I guess.

    I used Furmark to test for errors, it will give you an error in graphics and will state the error aswell, I found no errors in my memory. What seems to be the problem with your graphics ?
