Hi All,

I own two MacBook Pro 16" and sometimes websites gets garbled, full of static noise when using Chrome (see image below).

Surprisingly, I can take a screenshot of this static noise.

Anyone else has experienced it? Any ideas?

I've seen similar things on Chrome and other programs. Usually caused by the discrete GPU. If you have graphics switching disabled, try enabling it. I had it disabled, then when I enabled it, the noise went away, which told me the AMD GPU was to blame.

I figured it's the external GPU to blame :(

Though since I have this on two different machines, I'll be surprised if it is an hardware failure.

Most likely a driver / software issue, but if I am the only one having it, then how should I report this to Apple?
