2019 16" Macbook Pro Potential GPU Failure?

Hello!

This morning, my display suddenly started artifacting, as shown by the attached picture. The screen was not changing, it just suddenly switched to the screen in the photo. I was not doing anything graphically intensive, and I found this quite strange and it gave me flashbacks to my old 2011 15" pro. Is this anything to be worried about, or it is just a driver issue or something software related?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

Looks to be GPU or a RAM issue— either way hardware.
