Weird Graphics Artifacting

[Spoderman!!]

I've been having weird artifacting, which seems to be either AA or Shadow (or both) related.

 

So far i've been unable to find a fix for it as it does this to varying degrees, with RDR2 being the worst offended to the point of being unplayable.

Things i've tried until now is:

Reinstalled Windows

Reset all graphics settings

Tried GFX drivers from the lastest all the way back to 441.41

Reinstalled the affected games

Reseated the card

 

An oddity i've found while testing, is that i'm having no problems in Fallout 4 without any mods. Whoever when i enable any sort of reshade, then i get the problem again.

 

Any help or ideas is appreciated.

What GPU? And do you have other GPU?

Is it covered by warranty still?

 

Tried DDU? though clean install of windows should already mean this is pointless but no harm trying

MSI 2080 Ti and it should still be covered by warranty.

Yes i have a an extra one

 

All the driver reinstalls was done with DDU full clean install

See if it happens on the other GPU

If it doesn't then you can send the faulty one in for RMA

 

Other than that, I haven't seen it heard of such an issue happening before

 

Tried other display? Using any adapters?

Will give the other one a try.

 

I also tried with both my displays which are the same model and the issue persisted (only using direct DP)

Hmm, if you have another display (like a tv) could give that a try too

[FakeNSA]

Man, that's not good!

Something else to try would be switching the output port on the graphics card, and trying a different cable.

Sometimes it helps!

Try testing the GPU with GPUPI 3.3.3,Press Calculate then use the following settings:

32B HWbot GPU

choose your GPU in OpenCL GPU devices

Batch size: 20M

Reduction size: 512

Then press OK to start.

(Press cancel if a message about HPET appears)

 

 

GPUPI 3.3.3 download page:

It's the Prime95 of GPUs.

 

Tell us if you get any errors while testing.

Just tested it with my 1080 and it does the same thing. So that should in theory eliminate the GPU being the problem right?

Could faulty ram maybe mess with the textures like this?

Does it on all the ports sadly

Finished testing and i didn't get any errors.

Yeap, pretty much

Never heard of such an issue

I highly doubt system RAM can cause this though as it's more on the GPU side of things

 

I'm suspecting your monitor's driver is doing some sort of post processing, thus why I asked to try on other displays

Is your game running native res? Any scaling?

If you tested with the settings i said and it passed,then it means that GPU does calculations accurately and is stable.

You could also try taking a screen shot and a photo with your phone and post them here

 

And compare them with your phone, see if there's the artifacts

 

Artifacts shouldn't show in screenshots if it's display side of things causing it

This is taken in-game and as you can see it still shows up.

 

At this point i can only think of either the motherboard or ram being the problem.

Not sure what else to think.

Try testing the CPU with Prime95 with the Small FFTs option for a hour.

Try testing the RAM with Memtest86.

 

Tell us if you get any errors while testing.

r u sure this is not the game engine rendering it as such?

u said it happens in other games, same severity?

 

does other people have the same "issue"?

I'm having the same artifacting happen in RDR2 where the game is basicly unplayable unless i use TAA, but that just blurs the textures to all hell and causes massive ghosting, Hell Let Loose (The one in the image), Fallout 4 if i put shaders on, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, All of the Newer Tomb Raider games and in the newest Wolfenstein.

 

Also i know for a fact one of my friends has the same weird shadow texture problem in Call of duty: Modern Warfare

 

Thanks for the help for now though, i'll try tinker with it some more and if it don't work, then i'll probably just end up getting a new rig whenever Ryzen 5000 get release instead.

i don't believe a new rig will solve the issue

im suspecting some settings somewhere is causing this, or it's just how game engine works

 

i could swear i've seen stuff like that in my games (especially for transparent objects)

but i don't game a lot so i can't really tell if it's normal or not

The problem could be a software problem,not necessarily hardware.

Corrupt drivers or OS may cause that.

I have never had such thing happen to me,the only time i see such artifacts is when i compress images aggressively.

i would agree that OP's case is sort of extreme, though
