    Guys, there is a solution. The question is whether the solution is so complex that it is over our heads.

    Someone has their negative pants on today.

    It is not psychological. It is absolutely 100% an immediate and obvious drop in graphical fidelity. It is marked by jagged AA, shimmering, and low fidelity jagged shadows.
  4. lobolaw1984
    That wouldn't explain the crazy shadows

    For me, it only affects PC games, and only some games at that. The desktop and BIOS are fine, as are some games. All of the other devices in my house are unaffected. There is also the possibility that there are multiple causes for the same symptoms.

    Okay, that is another area we can look at. I have not tried using an HDD, I've only used SSDs For the last 7 years or so. It doesn't sound like it should fix the problem, but it might. Nothing else has worked.

    As you probably already know, they will tell you that the image looks fine, it is all in your head. A lot of these problems dont come across very well in image captures or video, unfortunately. What other things are there in the rendering pipeline? For me, the change was triggered by software updates, but never went away, even after swapping hardware. The symptoms have no obvious connection to either hardware or software. As for the electricity possibility, that just seems very far fetched. The problem is hardware or software related, not electrical.

    I also suspect it is software on some level, but why does the problem persist even when I installed Linux on a completely clean hard drive?

    Try posting a video - most of the aliasing issues only show up when there is motion on the screen.

    I continue to believe that there must be a solution. There must be someone smart enough to figure this out. Regarding the DSR - it is pretty much a band-aid. It only minimizes and hides the problem, but it is definitely still there. Games looked better at 1440 without the problem then they do at 4K with the problem.

    Glad to see people taking action. I am really hopeful that we will figure it out.

    It will be expensive, but I suggest you build the rig with ALL NEW PARTS. It must be a clean rig. I recently bought a new GPU, MOBO, SSD, and CPU, but kept the same RAM, PSU, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. The problem persisted. I think you are on the right track in trying to identify a trigger. For me the problem started in 2013 with Starcraft 2 and BF3. All of the Total War games were affected. However, BF1 and BF5 remain unaffected. Recently, the Witcher 3 became affected when I downloaded the expansions and other DLC. I just don't know if it is software or hardware related. I went so far as to install Linux on a clean SSD, but it only made the problem worse. That tells me that it was not a software "Windows" issue. On the other hand, the problem persists even if I use the Intel integrated graphics, which tells me that it is not a Nvidia related issue. The problem persists across different GPUs. Over the years, I have changed every single part of that old rig, and the problem still exists. It seems like, if the problem shows up in a game, it is pretty much there to stay. For the love of God, can we just find out if it is hardware or software related? That is a good place to start!

    It is 100% not in our heads. For me it was literally an overnight massive change - jagged flickering shadows and awful AA when the frame is moving.

    UPDATE 7/30/19. It didn't work. New MOBO, CPU, GPU, SSD, and fresh install of Windows, all installed simultaneously. I kept the same RAM, psu, keyboard, mouse, monitor, and case. Fired up a fresh install of Witcher 3, the problem is still there. I am really at a loss...
  15. lobolaw1984
    Yep - I definitely see the eye-cancer in the Witcher 3. It happened to me after I downloaded the DLC and expansions over GOG.
