I'm curious about the reason for the shape of the "Space Invaders" GPU artifacts. What causes them to look like that?

Hello there!

Some of the RTX20xx cards in the past had artifacts that are called "Space Invaders" because of their rather specific shape. I'm curious, why are the artifacts shaped like that? What is the technical reason for it?

Here are examples of the Space Invaders artifacts. The images are high-res photos, so just click on them to zoom in and see the shape better:

I would really appreciate an explanation of the shape of these artifacts, as I'm quite curious about it.

Thank you.

Why Are Server CPUs clocked way lower than their Desktop equivalents?

This is true across Intel and AMD's Product Stack. Server CPUs are very often clocked substantially lower than their Desktop counterparts even though server parts usually have a way higher TDP and get the best performing silicon.

What are the reasons for that? Stability?
