Hello all, First post here on the forums. It is great to be here. I am new to windows 11 and recently did an upgrade to my PC. My equipment is as follows; MSI MPG 670E Carbon Wifi Motherboard G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series 96GB AMD Ryzen 7700X MSI 4070 Trio X Windows 11 (fully updated) Main Monitor LG 4k 32un550-WAJP Now to the wierd issue. When my main monitor wakes from sleep the screen shrinks and then returns to normal. I attached a video of what happens (not my video though). This issue didn't happen when I was on Windows 10 (using the same monitor). Any idea what is going on? 2vXA4yV.mp4

I could not find information about it. My parent's PC use that one and I wanted to give them my 1440p monitor, all they do is Youtube, Facebook, etc Can that CPU handle that resolution or should I upgrade it to something like a Ryzen 6 with on-board graphics?

TL:DR, After a power cycle, the GPU in my laptop doesn't seem to idle properly anymore, meaning the temps are constantly higher, at least without unplugging, and replugging-in the laptop SPECS: Model No: Acer Nitro 5, AN515-45 CPU: Ryzen 5800H GC:RTX 3070 Laptop RAM: 32GB DDR4 OS: Windows 11, 64-bit Quick background, I've had this laptop for just under a year, and it's been working fine, temps are usually good when performing light tasks like web browsing, using Word/PowerPoint etc. it usually tops out at around 45°C, which is good because the fans wont spin up past 1500RPM (the lowest speed). obviously temps would rise once running a game (maxing out at like 93°C on DOOM: Eternal etc). This was until around a month ago, when I realised that after a power cycle the fans were louder, and using the NitroSense monitoring tool, I could see why: The idling temps were now 55°C+, rising to over 65 when doing ANYTHING... this would raise the fanspeeds to over 3000+, which I'm used to while gaming but not when literally doing nothing intensive. I tried everything I could think of short of reinstalling Windows, i performed a DDU of both the iGPU and dGPU, closed every startup program that could've been causing it, but to no avail. It was a week or two later I noticed in NitroSense that the GPU monitoring was actually showing a temperature, and graphing it. there was 0 usage, and the Nvidia GPU activity window in the tray was showing the GPU as inactive, but there it was, still being graphed, and suspiciouslyඞ my CPU temps were now 10-20°C higher. Whilst trying to figure out a solution, I figured out a temporary fix: If i unplug the laptop, wait for the dGPU to go idle, then plug it back in, then it stays off. This 'solves' the issue, as the temps will return to normal as NitroSense now shows no GPU temps/usage. Occasionally, it will get stuck on when opening certain applications, like games or even Chrome can start the GPU up and it wont idle again, although turning the laptop on, or even waking it from sleep will cause the dGPU to just sit there increasing the temps when nothing seems to be using it. I have no idea what i could've changed or what could be causing this, so if anyone has any ideas how I could diagnose this weird behaviour, or maybe a fix (someone must've noticed this before). I'd be greatly appreciative. a couple of other things i've tried was disabling hardware acceleration is discord (although the issue persisted even when discord wasn't open during the issue so I wasn't expecting that to help), setting the GPU preference in the Nvidia control panel to Auto-select (that was what it was originally on, but i decided to change it anyway to no avail). Oh, here's a pic of the weird behaviour, the area I've circled blue is what it looks like waking the laptop from sleep (or turning on), and the graph above shows the correlated CPU temp increase. dashes in the red and orange in the GPU graph is what it looks like when the dGPU is idle. As you can see, I've performed my unplug/replug technique, although its kinda annoying and probably not good for the charging plug to be used over and over again. UPDATE: in case anyone has found a similar issue, the 'fix' for this was a Windows update, a fairly large one which seemed to solve the problem.... probably means the issue was with how Windows 11 was managing the power so....

SO, I've had some crashes and freezes before, but nothing this bad. Diagnosis is bleak, eh? Relevant components: MSI B550 Gaming Plus (latest BIOS compatible with 1st gen Ryzen) Ryzen 1700x 32gb Corsair Vengeance RGB Gigabyte rx5700 gaming oc (RIP) Elgato HD60 internal capture card All running stock, except maybe the RAM, but I think I might have even disabled XMP on it to be safe. Been a while. As you can see, I was TRYING to play WoW, but as soon as I get to a place full of Fire, my GPU decided "hey, great idea!" And, well... There ya go. Full glitch city. It was like Missingn0 and Diaboromon decided to throw a party and my PC was invited. Just missing textures and shadows glitching everywhere, audio skipping, lights going off like the most cursed rave you've ever been to. (I have footage but the forums deemed my 15-second clip too large, so I'll spare you the acid trip) History: I think I might be cursed. This is my second GPU so far, as my Vega 56 was also freezing and crashing games on me. I play at 1440/144, playing games from WoW to Warframe to Cyberpunk to Minecraft. (Oddly enough, WoW and Minecraft are what give me the most issues. I can run Cyberpunk on med/high just fine, and Warframe on max settings, but that game is optimized af) The only PC parts I HAVEN'T replaced since I built this Machine of Theseus is the CPU, the NZXT rgb fan junk, and my boot drive. Unsure what other information might be pertinent.

I was having some issues booting up the bios on my pc when i read on a forum somewhere that its because its displaying the bios on my integrated graphics card. after learning this i made the smart decision to disable the graphics causing my screen to go completely black. My pc turns on but im not sure how to fix my mistake if i cant display anything onto my monitor. PLEASE HELP

Hi! 12gb rtx 3060 or 8gb 3060ti - which one should I buy for video editing work? I will be using adobe premiere pro, after effects and davinci resolve. Which card will serve me for long time? I'm planning to use it for 4 years at least. How about RX 6700xt? Would that be a good option as well? Both rtx cards are available in my country and within my budget. The Amd card is a bit expensive.

I got a Notification pointing to an old Reddit post from someone working at AMD Radeon 10 years ago. It provides us with some useful insight into why each company chooses a certain amount of VRAM for a certain product. Before you begin commenting about "Oh these companies are stupid and didn't give us enough VRAM..." - I agree, however keep in mind that development of RTX 4000/ RX 7000 began as soon as RTX 3000/ RX 6000 series finished releasing all initial products, back when 8 or 12GB of VRAM was still plenty for the vast majority of gamers. This does not excuse the problem, but you should give credit where it is due... COPY-PASTE FROM OLD REDDIT THREAD: I work for AMD doing product marketing in the Radeon division. I can answer your question: 1) Memory quantity is initially chosen by us, and is influenced only by two factors. First, how much it costs to equip every product sold with XYZ quantity of memory. Secondly, how much memory the board can physically accept with respect to the capacity of each chip and the space available on the board. We let partners add more if they feel like footing the bill. 2) Bus width determines how much data can be moved into memory per 1Hz of memory clockspeed. The clockspeed determines how many times that can happen per second. At any given clockspeed, a 384-bit bus will be able to move 50% more data than the same RAM on a 256-bit bus. 3) The width of the bus does not determine how much RAM can be installed, or how much RAM can be utilized. As an aside, it *does* determine how the memory chips must be installed on the board (e.g. in groups of 2 or 3). The number of textures (and their size) and the number of special effects ("shaders") determines how much VRAM is used. Generally speaking, the better the game looks, the more VRAM it will use. 4) The priority of GPU performance is: compute shaders* > memory bandwidth > GPU clockspeed > memory quantity. The importance of memory quantity and GPU clock flip if the VRAM is < 2GB. We equip our high-end boards with 3GB of GDDR5 on a 384-bit bus, and let partners add more. NVIDIA's guidance was to use 2GB of GDDR5 on a 256-bit bus. The end result is that at resolutions equal to or higher than 2560x1440, Radeon is better performer because the Kepler architecture runs out of VRAM *and* hits the limit of its memory bus. We can presume NVIDIA made this decision because most gamers are playing at 1080p, which doesn't highlight the limits of their RAM configuration. Our data suggests that our high-end customers are choosing higher resolutions, e.g. 1440p or 1600p (or Eyefinity), so we built the boards to fit those needs. \* NOTE: We call them Stream Processors, NVIDIA calls them CUDA Cores. //EDIT: Removed statement irrelevant to an example.

Hi any help you guys could offer would be great. I have a problem with the appearance of my graphics on my screen. When I start a game through steam it seems to change my resolution and then everything looks strange. Its either the colors are off or just distorted. However if I try to stream the game in discord the stream will look completely normal. It is not just one game but that is what I will link the photos of its Ghost exile. However when I play other games like hogwarts legacy it does similar effects. I've included two images the one with the task board is from the stream and looks normal. The color of the border of that task board is supposed to be around the same color of the book that looks red. I dont know if its a setting somewhere that i need to change.

Hello! I have had my XFX RX 6800 XT for about 7 months now. I am ok with its overall performance but its coil wind ( already had a in depth discussion on this forum ) is still a huge downside. With all the new cards coming out is there any that anyone could recommend that is cheaper and has comparable performance to my card? I would sell what I have and get something a little cheaper. I mainly play CSGO,Apex Legends, Fortnite, and some other solo titles at 1080p 144hz. thank you and please be gentle, I am very new to pc parts

Engineering student have to do some coding sometimes have to use some graphics intensive software for various modules, gaming is not really a priority Battery life and portability are the main factors but it needs to have some type of graphic card budget is about 1500 dollars +-200 Please give someone suggestions

So i just noticed this while playing dead by daylight, a flashy orange spot that happens when i walk through the basement wall on the stairs and it's random as well, It isn't consistent and doesn't always happen. (Same color as sun-set and candles in that map). And it doesn't happen LITERALLY anywhere else on the map. Even in games like GTA V (although the game map goes blurry sometimes on CUSTOM FiveEm servers but never the official ones.) and Forza Horizon 4 They don't happen. Tried running SuperPosition too to make sure my GPU is good, Nothing came up. What's this ? and what can i define that as ? I just hope it isn't an artifact. Is it ?

I've been noticing that in most games I have weird shadows and lighting, most of them easily ignorable but a few of those are quite annoying. Example below is in Hogwarts Legacy. You can see in the video how the hypogriff casts long shadows in the water and how the lighting changes quite fast. This happens in basically every game. Anyone know what this is? How do I fix this?

I have ASUS ROG Strix G15, it has an issue that when i press power button the screen doesn't turn on only keyboard's rgb lights turn on and fans spin, also the airplane mode light and power light(which has bulb symbol) stays on. Also the caps lock key's light is not turning on when i press it. 3-4 days before this issue rose i had replaced the whole keyboard because earlier it had issue of not starting up nor charging so the repair shop owner told me that it has an issue with the power button so i need to replace the keyboard. After that it was not shutting down by clicking "shut down" in windows, I had to force shutdown it everytime. Does anyone know the reason for the screen not turning on? I sent it to a local repair shop they said it has an issue with the graphics card so i need to repair the motherboard or replace it. replacing the motherboard is very costly so if someone has any other idea or fix please let me know. Thanks in advance!

So I recently decided to begin planning on building a new PC in the future. Ive been making multiple threads around the forums related to different parts of the new build. As far as this section goes (The GPU/Graphics Card), I had decided on an AMD RX 7900-XT after the $100 which made it an okay option in terms of value. I was interested in the AsRock Taichi edition for $849.99. Performance goals were 120FPS High Settings at my 3440x1440p ultrawide resolution, which the 7900-XT was perfect for and then some. However, I then found a listing for a used Power Color Red Devil 7900-XTX. The gentleman bought the card and then he decided he wanted an RTX 4080 instead. I ended up getting the card for the same $900 I would have spent on the Taichi XT after tax. He also had his Micro Center Receipt for it so I have nothing to worry about as far as the warranty goes. This new GPU is massive overkill for my needs as even the XT was slightly overkill, but I look at it this way: I will be able to completely max out every game ever made at completely maxed out Ultra settings at native monitor resolution with no upscaling or artificial boosters of any kind and I will still hit my goal of 120 FPS for many years to come. Now I still plan on upgrading the entire system including the monitor but it will be some time before I build an entire new system. Of course I don't want to just let my new card sit around in the meantime so I went ahead and installed it in my current system despite the fact that I am HEAVILY bottlenecked by the performance of my current CPU. While stress testing and testing OC on the new card I noted that I had to crank the older Unigine Valley to maximum custom resolution of 4096x4096 at absolutely maxed settings to even get 100% load on the GPU or else the CPU would hit a brick wall around 230-240 FPS.

Should I get the XFX Speedster QICK RX 6650XT or the Sapphire Pulse RX 6650XT? Which one will be better for longevity?

Well hello there. First post for a looong time. Not really sure what could be the issue for me but there are at least 2 games where i am having issue. 1st is Hogwarts Legacy if it starts up than it produces this issue the 2nd game is days gone where it always starts up but within the first few minutes of gameplay produces the error. i did 2 videos of it. sorry for the phone recording but this seemed an ok circumstance. I do hope i post it in the right section. hogwarts: Days Gone: Windows Edition Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2 Installed on ‎2022. ‎03. ‎22.

Hey guys, I recently bought a cheap $8 capture card and tried doing the dual stream PC set up. The stream was extremely pixelated and low quality although i was streaming at 1080p. Gaming pc (Rtx3080 & Ryzen 5600x). I wanted to know if whether was it my internet, laptop or capture card that is causing this pixelated and low quality stream (video link at the bottom). I also streamed through gaming PC only and the results were better. But I do want to know which device is the cause of the pixelated stream.

I have some weird issue with fullscreen HDR. If I launch some games into fullscreen with windows HDR enabled i can get a few brief seconds of great picture: and then it does this: Is this some sort of Bandwidth issue with the built in display?

Hello everyone, Currently on a 1070. I have a 4K TV and a oculus quest 2. I want to play games like Skyrim VR with a bunch of mods to make it look amazing. Would like to crank up the settings and play with 120fps and low frame times. I was looking at the RX 7900 XTX, because the nvidea offerings are just to wild(pricing). Are the AMD drivers good enough for VR? Heared a lot of complains

Since there is a lot of misinformation about CPU and GPU bottlenecks floating around, here's a short explanation for those who are wondering about CPU and GPU related bottlenecks for games. A CPU prepares frames for the GPU to render. It does object placements, physics and general pre-render. The GPU takes what the CPU prerendered and does the frame (image) render including the details, shading, textures, particles, "triangles", ... Changing the resolution does not affect the CPU a lot. But it affects the GPU a lot since it changes the number of details. EXAMPLE: If a CPU can prepare 60 frames and the GPU can render... 1. 100 frames on 1080p, the GPU will be used 60% meaning a 40% bottleneck. A stronger CPU would be needed. Or increasing the details, resolution. 2. 60 frames on 1440p, there won't be a noticeable bottleneck and the CPU&GPU are evenly matched. A stronger GPU would be bottlenecked by the same CPU. 3. 30 frames on 4K, there won't be a bottleneck. And the CPU could power a stronger GPU. Let's take a low end CPU like the Intel i5 10400F or Ryzen 5 5500, a mid-range CPU like the Ryzen 7 5700X or Intel i5 12400f and a higher end CPU like the Ryzen 7 7700 or Intel i7 13700. And let's take a low end GPU like a Geforce RTX 3050 or Radeon RX 6500, a mid-range GPU like the RTX 3070Ti or the Radeon 6800 and a high-end like the RTX 4080 or the Radeon RX 7900XTX. The monitor resolution of 1080p is considered low end, 1440p (2K) id mid-range and 4K (2160p) is high end. Let's call the low end CPU CPU1, the mid-range CPU2 and high end CPU3. Do the same for the GPU; low end GPU1, mid-range GPU2 and high end GPU3. And the screen resolutions; RES1, RES2 and RES3. We have 27 (3x3x3) possible combinations. The low end GPU won't be bottlenecked by any of the CPU-s on any of the resolutions. That removes 9 options. (CPU,GPU,RES) - what usually happens (1,1,1) - no botttleneck (1,1,2) - no botttleneck (1,1,3) - no botttleneck (1,2,1) - slight CPU bottleneck (1,2,2) - no botttleneck (1,2,3) - no botttleneck (1,3,1) - huge CPU bottleneck (1,3,2) - slight CPU bottleneck (1,3,3) - slight to no CPU bottleneck (2,1,1) - no botttleneck (2,1,2) - no botttleneck (2,1,3) - no botttleneck (2,2,1) - slight to no CPU bottleneck (2,2,2) - no CPU bottleneck (2,2,3) - no CPU bottleneck (2,3,1) - huge CPU bottleneck (2,3,2) - slight to no CPU bottleneck (2,3,3) - no CPU bottleneck (3,1,1) - no CPU bottleneck (3,1,2) - no CPU bottleneck (3,1,3) - no CPU bottleneck (3,2,1) - no CPU bottleneck (3,2,2) - no CPU bottleneck (3,2,3) - no CPU bottleneck (3,3,1) - huge CPU bottleneck (3,3,2) - slight to no CPU bottleneck (3,3,3) - no CPU bottleneck A huge CPU bottleneck means a terrible time gaming (the GPU might enter low power states, having frametime spikes, ...) and a CPU upgrade is needed. A slight CPU bottleneck means a CPU upgrade would be preferable. Or a monitor upgrade (higher resolution increases the GPU load). And no, in 99.9% of the games a GPU does not do stuff that the CPU has to wait on. So, NO, in gaming a GPU CAN NOT BOTTLENECK A CPU. PSA: Online bottleneck calculators are usually made by people who do not understand how bottlenecks work. Made purely to get money from advertisements and people who browse the page. Clickbait. Worse than useless because it's better not having information than working with false information.

Hey! For the last 2 years or so I've been struggling with some graphical issues occuring in my playthroughs of various video games on my new PC. Jagged edges, pixelated hair, water, sometimes reflections. I tried many fixes that I found on the internet but none of them helped. That includes: - Updating, Downgrading, Reinstalling drivers - Messing with Antialiasing options in the NVidia Control Panel - Using NVidia's overlay to sharpen or desharpen visuals - Messing with In-Game AA Options (I was able to make it look better in some cases, but wouldn't count it as a FIX) - Cleaning the Graphics card, removing it, putting it back again - Checking how it looks on different monitors (1366x768 Samsung, 4K Philips TV) - Changing HDMI to DisplayPort with different cables - more which I don't exactly remember now At first I thought that it was due to my old monitor not working well together with a newer graphics card, so I upgraded and got the 1080p treatment I finally deserved. Got dissapointed though, as the issues still occured. Seems like every game I play has this noisy overlay on top of it that somehow jaggs (if that's a term) the edges of the games, over-sharpens it. They just don't render right. What could be the cause? How do I fix this? If I change my graphics card will the issue still occur? I attached some screenshots & videos. I need help!! Here's a list of some games I had these issues with: - RDR2 - Stray - GTA 4 & V - Marvel's Spider-Man (& Miles Morales) - Mount & Blade II Bannerlord - Final Fantasy XV - No Man's Sky - Dying Light - Shadow Warrior 2&3 - Skyrim - Minecraft - Cyberpunk 2077 - Rainbow Six Siege And here's my machine: AORUS B450 ELITE AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Gigabyte GTX 1660 6GB 32GB RAM G.Skill Aegis DDR4 3000Mhz (4x8GB) Monitor: Acer VG240YS 165Hz

So here is the laptop, it has Nvidia Geforce 980M, but I opened Device Manager and there is just showing Microsoft Basic Driver.

Recently I've been having this strange graphical glitch (for a lack of a better term) with some applications where they won't display properly. I'm not even sure how to describe the issue, but it's often on programs where you highlight a button or text and it glitches it out, displays black squares on top of it or text disappears as shown on the screenshots attached. Games and web browser seem to run no problems, watching videos etc. Is also fine. It ran fine before, and the only thing I can think of that I've changed was plugging in a 2nd monitor but even when having one plugged in the issue persists. I've tried alot of different things from completely disassembling and reassembling the PC, trying a different video card, different monitor, new DP cable, reinstalling literally every driver I can think of, clean windows install, tried both 10 and 11, firmware update on my monitor, swapping the RAM, ran windows memory diagnostic, SFC scan and nothing seems to do the trick - I've ran out of ideas and kindly ask for your help as to what could be the cause of this problem.

I have an reoccurring issue In certain (seemingly random yet consistent) games / applications at seemingly random times (more likely as the game gets more graphically intensive), and I'm like 80% sure its to due with my 3060. Specs : -OS/BIOS : Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit (19041.1348) -Motherboard : MSI Z390-A PRO -CPU : Intel Core i7-9700K with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo -RAM : 4x8 Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200 CL16 -GPU (the bastard) : GIGABYTE AORUS Elite RTX 3060 -PSU : EVGA 850 GQ 850W 80+ Gold Cert.

At worst, suddenly the game will freeze, then a few seconds later all audio will freeze and graphics will cut entirely (black screen), then the game will crash and my desktop will flash a couple times as if to blink from being flashbanged. This happens most commonly in games like Cult of The Lamb and COD : Cold War, I even have a folder of 16 separate screenshots I took of error messages the latter spat out (Attached one). 2. The game will freeze, graphics will come back for a couple frames, then freeze again, but audio and game functionality will return entirely and I'll simply be blinded by the last frame rendered until I restart the program. This happens most commonly in CS:GO. 3. The game freezes, and just stays frozen, but in a state where I can't ALT + TAB away, and most normal methods of closing a window are unsuccessful (X button, ALT + F4, etc.). This happens most commonly in Payday 2. In cases like this, I use a program called "SuperF4" which closes the currently active window regardless of its state if I press CTRL + ALT + F4, doing this while a game is frozen guarantees my desktop will blink however. 4. At best, the game freezes, and after a few seconds manages to unfreeze and I can continue playing normally. This happens most commonly in Left 4 Dead 2. 5. (Specifically with video files in file explorer) Randomly the video and player UI will freeze during playback. If I close the player too soon after it freezes, my entire desktop including CTRL + ALT + DELETE and Windows + R freezes as well and I have to restart my whole PC. If I wait a few seconds however and let the video player itself have a hiccup before closing it, I'm fine. I'm at a roadblock. I tried everything I could think of (and could reasonably do), I swapped out my PSU for a better one when I thought I was maxing out my wattage. I DDU'd my GPU drivers and did a completely fresh install. I installed more RAM. I reseated the GPU and blew out every crevice it interacted with canned air. And nothing. I've attached msinfo32 as well, and can provide other specs if need be. msinfo32.txt

A friend asked me way back on the Philippines about this aisurix rx 580 as i know nothing about this type as i never heard of it nor my friend. Some say on internet it's a 570 in rx 580 skin.
