This started happening a few days ago. It only happens on cold boot (when I first boot in the mornings - if I restart the system during the day it's fine), and resolves itself after a few seconds. Gaming seems to be unaffected. The position of the lines vary, but they're always horizontal like that and span the entire length of the display.
Skip to 34 seconds.
Thoughts? My initial inclination is a bad panel, but given how shitty EVGA's quality control is I wouldn't be surprised if this new card of less than 6 months is the culprit.

Most likely some firefox update fucked up again, if it only happens inside of chrome a gpu issue is unlikely. try another browser or deactivate hardware acceleration in chrome
Can't you try it with your TV to make sure? Or with the same monitor but via another input?
I'm gonna try swapping the display port cable for HDMI tomorrow (don't have a spare display port cable )

The browser was Firefox, but when I didn't start the browser one time it happened on the desktop - so it's not browser at fault.

Sounds like a dodgy cap or a VRM giving up thus giving you these intermittent issues at cold boot. Some dysfunctional component may work better when warmed up. Just a guess since it can be so many issues.
So, I unplugged the display port cable last night before going to bed and switched over to HDMI. This morning, no artifacting. I'm going to give it one more day of testing just to be sure (so far I was 4 for 4 of being able to reproduce the issue, so fairly confident), but it looks like either -
A. the cable is at fault (hope it's this).
B. the DP input on the monitor is going faulty (no way to test as my old TN panel doesn't have DP input)
C. the display port output on the card is going faulty.

So, after finally getting a new display port cable, I booted up this morning and......
the problem happened again.
So yea, either the card's DP output is crapping out, or the monitor's DP input/display is crapping out.
The problem never occurred during the week or so I was on the 120hz HDMI input.
I guess I'm just going to run at 120hz hdmi from now on, as I don't feel like going through the hassle of further troubleshooting this and/or RMA'ing the card or the monitor.

Sorry to be bumping my own thread, but this was a holy shit moment so I figured it was worthy of it...
I was reading through the NVIDIA driver section on here today when I come across this little gem in the 417.22 driver change log -
