Graphics card power?

When I pan/rotate on some of my simulated FEA models, some elements disappear like this...

View attachment 2406

This only occurs when I'm rotating or moving it, otherwise it is rendered fully when stationary.

Is this issue graphics card power related, or something else?

Nice card and drivers are supposedly okay.

I have seen such graphical artifacts a few times before, and they were always hardware-related. Either the graph card was broken or it was overheating.

You might want to try sticking another graph card there (nVidia-based so that the drivers don't change) to see if the problem remains.
