Absolutely, as long as you don't put light blues, at least in my case.

That's exactly what happened to me the day I installed my new GPU, and where all this shit started, I noticed that the screen didn't look as always, I thought it was my monitor but now that I've seen this i'm sure it has to be related, it's not the icons, it's those vertical lines, they aro so much more noticeable with blue colours. Btw I started to have USB Issues few weeks ago, and had something to do with the speakers, everytime I turn the lights on and off the speakers make a noise and the USB ports fail, if I unplug the speakers that problem stops, and I noticed that they increase the ground noise when I plug the DVI conector. Perhaps it's not related but who knows...

I'm starting to think this is a really common problem since I've been watching a lot of videos of the games I usually play, and I see the low shadow resolution there too. I don't know you guys, but I'm gonna stop bothering about this problem, maybe this happens with specific architectures running Dx 9-11 with Open GL(almost every game uses both API's) and the way the games are optimized it doesn't happen in Dx12 or Vulkan or at least I didn't notice yet, all the recent games look a lot better though, maybe one day with drivers or new OS's they fix it but, for now there's not much we can do.

Well yes, this seems to be software related, but to be honest, how can this happen on consoles too? changing all the pc components, with a completely different rig and still the same? if it's software related, this should affect A LOT of people, and this problem has been known for years, so, why the developers haven't fixed it yet? We already know that the problem is something messing up with the 3D rendering API's, but still don't know what causes that in the first place. When I sent my pc to fix it, they replaced my gpu and they told me everything worked correctly but when I tested in my house, surprise! besides, they have replaced 2 gpu's so, once it's ''infected'' doesn't matter whatever you change on your PC it will happen everytime. Also I did notice that the backplate of the gpu was electrified even with the PSU switched off, so I did measurements on the wall sockets, And I got like 4-6 Volts between the neutral and ground, and one of the sockets has the ground wire cutted and it's oscillating between 50-70 Volts, not normal at all, so I still think it might be an electrical problem.

Okay that's at last a reliable explanation, we know what is exactly happening, but it also happens with AMD so now we have to determine what is messing up with the 3D rendering API's to fail that way it's so frustrating, we have to be a really low amount of people with this problem, there's no information about this nowhere, all are dead topics... Anyway, that is a great advance to possibly find a solution, meanwhile all you can do is manually change the shadows resolution and the shadow fading in the engine files of the games, Unreal engine is particularly easy to modify. I'll check eventually this topic to see if it's something new, and a lot of thanks for all the people that has been researching and trying to find a solution. And an advice here, if it's not so bad and doesn't really affect the playability don't bother yourself, ignore it till you buy another pc configuration or the problem is solved, your mental health will be greatfull with you

Hi guys, same shitty problem here, I'll tell you how started for me and my experience. (gosh this is starting to seem like a therapy group xD). well all started when I bought the RX 480, I started to see weird things like a squared pattern (Shadow acne) in some places on games, I had a GTX 650 before and I didn't notice that kind of things, or I just was looking at the FPS counter more than how actually the game looked like. I tried putting my RX 480 on a friend's PC, the same, and when she put her graphics card back, guess what, the same fucking problem. I thought it was just a driver issue cause she had another 480 so I contacted with the AMD technical support and they thought the graphics card was defective. I changed back to the GTX 650 doing a clean installation of the drivers with the DDU software, same shit, I knew it wasn't normal so I sent back the graphics card and the motherboard to the store. They replaced the mother board but couldn't replace the graphics card cause it was discontinued so they refund the money and I bought a GTX 1060, again this shit: It might look different to other people, shadow acne looks different on other games, depends on how the games are coded or optimized. I was so upset, so I sent back again all the hardware but the hard drives so they could fix it. They replaced the graphics card again and they told me everything worked correctly. I haven't assemble the PC yet cause scares the shit out of me, if that happens again I'd be so done. So I've been thinking, whether is a software problem, then formatting the hard drives or getting a new ones and reinstalling windows should fix it (I'm pretty sure a lot of us have tried that without result), or is external to the PC, I don't think any peripherals like mice or keyboards could cause this problem, it'd be silly, so I think it could be the electrical installation of the house or maybe the monitor which is conected directly to the graphics card, besides I noticed that even playing at 60 FPS or above with Vsync enabled it doesn't feel smooth at all in some games, I know it would be weird too, but those two things are the constants when we conect the PC for the first time. it just doesn't make sense to be a software or hardware problem for those people who have bought a completely new PC. I might have written a lot of bullshit here, but i'm just trying to help find the cause and hopefully together find the solution some day.
