I just got a new ultra wide monitor the Dell S3422DWG. I have noticed this really annoying effect on any games im playing but I recorded a video to showcase it on the last of us part 1 on PC. From my own testing this seems to be sharpening or hdr related but I'm not sure how to fix it. https://streamable.com/asih6d

Yeah, I'm not sure I managed to capture it as well in the Witcher 3 its quite distracting now that I have noticed it.

Yeah im buying a new cord tomorrow that is highly rated for high fps gaming display port just to rule everything out absolutely im just using the one that came with my monitor still.

I have tried dlss but i turned it off to eliminate what may have been going on. The effect on the water I see on Geralt's face occasionally in The Witcher 3.

I have recently noticed this issue I'm not sure if it is a monitor thing or in game thing but it happens across both my monitors. It basically looks like a weird blurry grid pattern on some of the textures in the games I'm playing and when standing around the textures seem to almost vibrate for lack of a better way to describe it. Here is a screenshot from the Last of Us part 1. I have no DLSS or anything like that on just default with ultra and various high settings. Note the effect near Joel's collar of his shirt the black area. That just constantly vibrates and so does his beard and when I move around everything blurs heavily. Is this an intended thing or is my cable perhaps bad? In case its relevant I have a VG27AQ1A Asus Tuf Monitor. Is this something I have to live with or can I fix this? It's really distracting it was happening in the witcher 3 as well on nearly everything in that game.

Yeah I have long debated if I should go for ryzen or not to be honest. I usually go with intel since it's what I've always done but thanks for sending me this video, I may have to alter my decision to some extent. I just know that the next ryzen cpus probably wont release for a while and sort of want an upgrade now ish.

Why did you upgrade to ryzen from 13th intel? From what I've seen in many benchmarks it seems intel still pulls ahead.

I can run it just not as well as I want once again being cpu bottlenecked by about 40-60fps. To me its worth it since I am going to be able to sell my old parts to a buddy and maybe the 14th gen cpus are even better though idk by how much since they are going to be refreshes I believe.

Well you say that but tons of the games these days come out un-optimized starfield is just one of the many. I do agree its specifically bad but I also plan to play the new cod and games like that when they come out and I think a new cpu makes a lot of sense for those games.

Well looking at starfield in particular I gain nearly 20-30fps over my current cpu as i am gpu bound with my 3080 it only utilizes around 60-80% maximum.

Looking to upgrade my CPU from 10700k to intel 13th gen or maybe a ryzen chip but I read the 14th gen chips are too release semi soon should I wait until they release and buy one of those?

I misinterpreted it, I thought it was I have a top-end one the one meaning CPU, and then an old gen card. Just misread it completely. It's why I was confused lol.

I don't understand what you mean at all the 3080 and 10700k released around the same time. Further explanation would be nice .

Also unless I'm wrong here It's my understanding that a CPU doesn't have to reach 100% usage to be bottlenecking your GPU. As you can see in the above screenshot im only at overall package usage of 70% and its dropping my GPU usage.

I think the current crop of cards doesn't make much sense to upgrade for what I'd be getting and having to pay since a 4070-ti which is similar performance costs me 1200$ for basically no significant improvement besides frame generation which AMD is making theirs available to all cards in theory. I'm not paying 3k for a 4090 which is more in line with what I'd like to see for a performance improvement. I may have to wait for 50 series of Nvidia cards and hope they don't break the bank as hard as the 4000 series did.

I am mostly hitting GPU-bound problems, yes but there are certain areas. cities with some high amount of rocks and stuff on planets where I hit 92% overall CPU usage. Also a game like Call of duty warzone I hit 60-70% MAXIMUM gpu usage since my CPU is unable to put out more frames otherwise it may just be badly optimized. Here is a screenshot showing some of my usages.

Yeah, I looked at the 13600k and the 13700k on second thought If I was to buy one of the 13 series of intel I'd pick one of those two over the 13900k the extra performance is like 400$ for me for like what seems 5-8% maximum in games. Hmm, is it worth buying the x3d variants of Ryzen chips or not so much? So the am5 platform is going to carry forward into their new chips as well leaving me not having to upgrade mobo for the 8 or 9000 series is that what you are saying? If that is the case Ryzen may not be a bad option for me single core performance of it over my 10700k is like 45% and overall seems to be about 22%.

Though the price of a 13900k is quite steep 800$ just for the cpu is quite a lot maybe thinking Ryzen in that case Im not sure.

Its actually an i7-10700k, I bought it about 3 years ago I play at 1440p I was thinking of a new cpu upgrade and platform upgrade mobo, ram, and CPU but wasn't sure what to upgrade to. I was thinking of a 7800 x3d or an intel like 13900k. I know those are both good. After doing some research on current cards the only GPU available for purchase that gives me the performance upgrade I want is a 4090 and that's too much money costs almost 3200$ in Canada, so I may just wait for the 50 series and see how the 5070 shakes out performance-wise. I do see occasional bottlenecking of my 3080 in games like call of duty warzone.

I have been wanting to upgrade my system in general for a little while now but was wondering if it's worth upgrading my 3080 or waiting longer and seeing if AMD's FSR 3 makes my 3080 hit my desired frame rate for 0$. I also was wondering about upgrading my cpu as I have 10700k, I seem to be CPU-bound in a few games notably Starfield at the moment. Are either of these things worth upgrading for me at the moment or should I wait and see what new stuff comes out? Everything I have found seems to indicate the RX 7800 XT is only marginally better, than the 3080 but I'm not sure as it has more VRAM and I am hitting VRAM cap on my 10GB 3080 occasionally Thanks for any input.

Is there an application I can run to scan for issues with all of my drives ?

Oh my bad here is the details tab.

Here is a screenshot of the bug check. Funnily enough ive been having a weird issue where my m.2 ssd randomly keeps disappearing from windows and I have to restart the pc to make it reappear.

Okay i just provided it, in case it was as I wasn't sure what to start with exactly. What is the best way to test those components assuming I can do it on my PC without disassembling anything?

I was just sitting doing nothing on my PC watching tv and it just blue-screened out of nowhere and I check the event viewer log and see this. I looked into it a bit myself from some articles I found people are saying this is a power supply or motherboard issue but is this to mean that they are faulty or something? Any help would be appreciated.
