    Three things come to mind:
    GPU Ram problem, not common, but the trademark of it is glitches that just seem to come and go without actually crashing anything.

    GPU Thermal problem, more common, trademark is the 3D environment gets more glitchy over time eventually crashing (BSOD) the computer when it reaches a thermal point it can no longer handle. This is actually more common in cheap video cards (eg 99$) than expensive ones, but they're not immune. Check the fan speed and cooling settings to make sure the fan is actually working. If the glitches go away by running the fan full blast, then the thermal monitoring might be broken.

    The last possibility is only really common with iGPU's (eg motherboard parts) is insufficient video ram/ram speed. So if you have the settings cranked up, it's constantly paging data in and out of the ram allocated to the iGPU, it eventually "loses" things because they get paged out.

    I'd normally just suggest swapping the video card with another one, if you can borrow one from somewhere and see if that resolves it.

    Short story... a advised a guy to blow the dust out of his computer with compressed air, he then pulled out a industrial air compressor (eg the kind you inflate car tires in 10 seconds with) and blew air onto the cpu fan. The cpu fan made this really high pitch kazoo-like noise, but wouldn't boot up anymore after that. Sometimes you have to be so super-specific.
