artifact Rendering Artifact in Some Games

[sisto90]

I’ve noticed that this grid-looking artifact appears in games, mostly on textures like bushes and trees, but also occasionally on shadows and characters. It is noticable both close-up and from a distance, but mostly if you are closer to the object as seen in the attached photo. 

 

The attached photo in this post is taken within a bush from The Witcher 3, as I noticed it appearing quite often in that particular game. I’ve also tested GTA, Forza and other games where this occurs on gras, trees and bushes. Is this a normal artifact in todays games or should I be worried that there is something wrong with my GPU? 

 

All games I’ve tested so far are with Nvidia Control Panel tweaks to prefer maximum quality and everything in-game is set to ULTRA - the artifact still appears.

 

GPU: 2080 Ti

CPU: i9 9900K

Monitor: Samsung CRG9

How are your temps?

 

Also can you run kombustor, with artifact scan on and post the results?

Temps are well within range, 60c-70c after hours of gaming.

 

I’ll run Kombustor with HWinfo (to check temps) and come back with the results!

Also before we get to deep that grid aka if you are referring to the perfect pattern of dots that is normal.

It is normally used to fade objects in and out at distance. I don't know why its happening so close for you.

Yes, that was what I was referring to! What is it exactly? I haven’t really noticed it before I started to invest in high-end gaming systems..!

Just a form of optimization, the idea is to remove objects that you can't see or that are far away.

Just fired up Witcher 3, I get the same thing nearby trees fade so you can see yourself. No need to worry about anything.

That is reassuring, even though I wish there was a way to remove it. Takes away the immersion from time to time, especially on a screen this big. Thank you nonetheless!

Just an end note: I ran Kombustor stress test on a 5120x1440 costum resolution for 10 minutes with a steady 70 fps, 0/0 artifacts and a max temp of 60c. I will probably have to do a few more tests for a longer period of time, but I’m guessing this is a good start!
