Windows 10: Corrupted Text Display - Graphics Card Issue?

Win Ver 1903 (Build 18362.592) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti

The text rights itself if I highlight or select the whole paragraph although sometimes it happens again to the same line a few moments later. I've not logged the applications where this happens yet, but definitely in Chrome (Version 81.0.4040.5 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)) and I think in Acrobat DC.

Does this seem like a graphics card problem?
