Please help me for the love of god

[-hamish-]

Hey, i don't know if i changed any stupid settings or something but all my games suddenly are running with a really low LOD bias (around 5 feet infront of me it goes to low textures or completely disappears if it is small) and shadows do the same thing. I've reinstalled drivers to no avail. The games i've tried are Garry's Mod, The Outerworlds, GTA 5, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019.) Here is an example:  [https://streamable.com/fu908](https://streamable.com/fu908) 

I have reinstalled the games

I have reinstalled windows

I have reinstalled drivers

Please save me.  

Specs:  
Intel i5-4460  
AMD RX 580 8GB  
16 GB DDR3  
Msi Krait Motherboard  
1TB Seagate  
225gb m.2 Seagate

I have no idea why that would continue to happen after reinstalling windows.

 

What storage drive are you loading the games from? Maybe try only the SSD?

You can make an ubunutu USB and run it without installing it to test steam and some games under linux.

I kinda expect a title like that to be followed with “my family is being held hostage and the kidnappers cut off my mothers hand and mailed it to me” and not “my games are being dumb”

 

Check the global graphical configuration settings in the AMD catalyst control panel, if it’s in every game then it’s probably a global setting with the hardware.

my family is being held hostage but that’s not important rn. i can’t seem to find a global setting that could cause this, reset them all to default in the gaming section and nothing happened

I mean like unplug one drive or the other and only use one drive

 

or use neither with the linux USB and unplug them from the system

 

that's the only thing I can think of that would cause such an issue.

i don’t see how unplugging a drive would fix the issue

Have you taken apart your GPU? I was replacing the thermal paste on mine and accidentally ripped off a resister, never gotten the same frame rates since.

contact the manufacturer of the card. I don't know what you would do if they couldn't help.

A broken hard drive or SSD could just be very slow at loading in assets, or be messing with the system in some other way.

I've seen a DVD drive slow down an entire system, unplugging it fixed it straight away.

 

Just see what happens with an ubuntu USB and running games from that without the hard drive or SSD plugged in.

IMO that look like driver related. Happened in all game?

 

Try check Disk Activity Response Time in Resource Monitor for any I/O bottleneck. 

[-hamish-]

still no solution, checked my drives and they are fine... this has been going on for weeks with no solutions and i’m kind of getting sick of it

bump

GTA:V actually have pretty shit LOD especially the shadows. 

 

Did you accidentally locked Aniso Filter to x0 or something? Try force it to x16 in Radeon Settings.
