You mean reinstalling/switching driver versions? Yes, it is... sort of.

Steam(and thus the openGL games I play) don't work with open source GPU driver,

The graphical glitches seem to depend on what was/is going on in the GPUs memory/framebuffer. If you have chromium open or opened recently you might see parts of Chromium mixed in with the graphical glitches. Same thing for every other application.

Switching between TTY and Gnome shell or switching users causes graphical corruption in overview. restarting the shell fixes it(see attachment).

This bug also happens on the GTX 750 TI as well that I had before.

I'm not on an expert on these things, but I really this needs to fixed ASAP. If the GPU is displaying information like this of previously opened applications or currently open then personal information could *potentially* be leaked via a corrupt but readable image of a word document or something.

Please consider giving it a higher importance level/rating!
