Artifacting on secondary monitors in Blizzard games only DX12 Only

[Kirah]

Right so I’m about to MC freaking lose it with this, I keep getting artifacting on my secondary monitors while playing wow in DX12 mode.

Keep in mind this Only happens in wow and some other blizzard titles, it does not happen in other games nor in benchmarks.

Things I have already tried
Uninstall GFX card drivers using DDU to get a clean install
Tried doing a clean installation of Windows 11
Tried replacing all monitor cables as well as moved them around.
I have RMA’d two rx6950 xt’s already primary due to coil whine but also to see if it fixed it and it did not.
Tried Plugging my GPU in to another PCIe slot.
Enabling / disabling windows windowed application optimization
Enable / disable triple buffering
Enable / disable vsync
Enable / disable FidelityFX
Tried running the game in normal windowed mode

Has anyone Any idea what else I can try to crush this gremlin

Have you tried another monitor?

If it was a monitor problem, surely it would not just affect a single game, no?

[Zomeguy]

Are both monitors the same refresh rate? I've heard of that happening a lot when the monitors are different refresh rates.

 

Other than that trying a different monitor to see what happens like JeffreyLF suggested.

Oh, forgot to mention, setting them all to the same refresh rate also has no effect tried plugging in my monitor I use for my server just as a sanity check still the same problems

yes and no, also you said its several games? 

 

to be clear this *is* most likely a monitor/ driver issue. 

 

So it doesn't happen with DX11?

I'd try anything else, maybe even a tv to see if the issue replicates, then you would know for sure it isn't an issue with the monitor

Edit: Nevermind, I just saw your above post about trying another monitor. Honestly, this is such a weird issue I wouldn't even know where to begin troubleshooting it beyond a new monitor.

Does it show up in screenshots? If yes, it's not the monitor. 

 

And if it does, post the screenshot so we can see what it looks like.

I tried a monitor I had for my server as well as my TV for a sanity check, and it still happens on those

yeah, does not happen with DX11, and it primarily happens in blizzard games like WoW, Hearthstone and D3

 

it also does not happen in games like cyberpunk 2077 for example

I have not been able to take a screenshot as It's so fast and random, but it's like a green line at the bottom of my monitor going in a cross horizontally

I've tried to find any info of this ever happening before and I can't, maybe try updating your motherboard bios if you can and see if that helps, otherwise I am unfortunately out of ideas

Oh that. I have seen that but not in a very long time. I think the last time was when I first got my 5700xt which was late 2019. I fixed it but I can't remember what I did to do so.

Recordings work equally well (Not sure if AMD has anything similar to Shadowplay's instant replay), though it sounds like a Freesync bug if you use that.

[Robchil]
