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.

Sometimes these sort of "artifacts" can be indeed caused by AA settings (such as TAA) in combination with other settings like anisotropic filtering... very difficult to figure out...

 

resident evil 3 does something similar,  can be fully eliminated with the right settings tho. 

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.

It's probably just the game then. Only other possible fix would be to make sure your graphics driver is updated but that's not likely to do anything. If you've messed with every setting and nothing fixes it I imagine it's just the game.

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'd recommend using DLSS if it's available honestly and see what happens. You can still leave it on quality. As for the moving around and being blurry that sounds like you have motion blur on. For the effect on Joel's neck that would be ambient occlusion, you could try turning that setting down a step. As for the water I'm not sure that just seems like a game thing. I would first see if DLSS helps at all. Maybe ambient occlusion has something to do with that too.

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.

At this point it absolutely depends on what you do. On anything with heavy emphasis on cache and IPC like most video games right now the Zen 4 architecture is more efficient on it and gives you better framerate. While in productivity that doesn't scale a lot of cores, and games with heavy clock speed advantage due to lax usage of instruction like OG CS, Intel would do better thanks to the process offload to E cores.

 

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.

If you can sell and lower the cost I guess go for it.

 

I'm a hypocrite I'm upgrading from 13th gen to Ryzen 7000 lol

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

The "new" COD will basically be a DLC. Therefore, if you can run Warzone II fine now, there's no indication that will change anytime soon.

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.

Starfield is an unoptimized mess of a game running on spaghetti code from a 1997 engine that scales terribly for modern hardware.

 

You shouldn't expect the same results with any game that comes out.

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.

Unless you have money literally burning a hole in your wallet.... Wait. Your CPU isn't even that old, you would barely get any sort of benefits from upgrading now. Most of them would be in synthetic benchmarks or in very specific apps. At most you'd be look at maybe 1 to 20 fps depending on whether the game is CPU bound and a few seconds gained on other tasks.

 

Like any potential purchase, ask yourself : "Do I really need this right now? Is what I have now not good enough for my purpose?"

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?

He's saying there is no need to upgrade a card that is only one generation old and was near the top of its product stack.

 

Not sure what you think the CPU has to do with it. 

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.

you have a top end one gen old card.

no

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.

7900 XT minimum, around 3090 RT perf except for heavy hitters like Cyberpunk or Control.

 

Completely decimates in raster if you OC it.

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.

You sure? My 12400 does not even reach 100% usage with RX 6800 XT playing Starfield.

Even with FSR, I am GPU bound more than anything, constant 99% GPU usage everywhere, even with a very mediocre graphics on ultra settings.

Poor optimization, CP2077 looks a lot better and runs better.

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.

Why not a 13700K?

And you can get a good board for it that supports DDR4 so you can use the RAM you already have...

 

Although, AM5 might be better for the long run.

Consider the 7700X, more than enough for the 3080 and a good stop gap before a Ryzen 8000 or 9000 CPU.

 

 

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.

RTX 4070 ~= RTX 3080

RX 7800XT  >= 4070

RX 7800XT RT ~= 3070Ti

 

Starfield runs a bit better on AMD GPU-s but a lot better on Intel CPU-s.

 

Are you on 1440p?

If not, upgrade to that.

 

And yes, a newer platform with a new CPU would do you good. Maybe should have priority over a GPU upgrade, the old i5 might be bottlenecking the 3080 already.

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.

You had an IO Request (IRP) hang. That’s the 0x9f part in Param1. The 0x3 tells us it’s the physical device having an issue. The next 3 arguments describe the event in more detail.

 

im not in a spot where I can read more details, but given your other symptoms I’m going to say this sounds like a failing drive

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

 Oh my bad here is the details tab.

It looks like you have disk corruption happening. Event ID 55 and 162 are common in that case. I don’t see the details of the bug check - open it up and screenie all the details.

 

it’s also helpful to sort the list by timestamp. The order in which errors happen can help figure out what’s going on.

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.

First of all that screenshot has little to no use to anyone, details are what matters        . Bugcheck listing can be caused by RAM, CPU or even PSU. Start by testing your system stability in that order.

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.
