I didn't use DDU because I didn't know that was a thing until now, I will try it out thanks

and I did it and still the same issue😢

so it 100% the gpu fault and not the windows 11 or something?

You could give running DISM and sfc a shot, but i've doubts it'll help based on that artifacting, do the commands in this order from an admin command prompt:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
sfc /SCANNOW
afterwards, reboot and see if it helped

hey can somebody confirm that if I buy a new gpu it will work for sure?
silk geyser
Oof it does look pretty bad.
When in doubt, reset bios. That's about the only thing you can still try at this point.
But it does look like you might need a new graphics card, you should try and see if you can borrow a different graphics card from someone or somewhere. Even if it's like a dusty old one from a prebuilt.
If your problems disappear then it pretty much just confirms it.
lunar shore
Oof it does look pretty bad.
I mean like its like that only when Im trying to play a game
when Im on the browser or smth like that it runs perfectly
silk geyser
It's true, I
*I'd expect it to be artifcating and stuff all the time if it was dying
near rune
Because if it were the gpu, everything on screen would be strange, not just the characters
silk geyser
But I still suspect that the issue might be with the GPU
Best way to eliminate it is by trying a different GPU in it
near rune
Yup
silk geyser
if the problem is still there, we know for sure that the issue is somewhere else
But like I said, when in doubt reset bios
near rune
Maybe running a VRAM test could reveal something?
silk geyser
You'd be surprised by how many problems a single BIOS reset has fixed over the years I've worked with computers

True
silk geyser
But yeah, definitely do not buy a new graphics card before we're sure it actually is the problem
near rune
Agreed, don’t send things to the landfill when they don’t need to be
silk geyser
let us know how it goes
lunar shore
@silk geyserbruh idk what is happning I took my brother gtx 1050 ti and put it in and it spinning
but it doesn't show up in the task manager
silk geyser
Interesting... So it does display an image, but your PC doesn't even recognise it's there?
lunar shore
and im pretty sure it works because the ryzen 9 5900x does have integrated graphics

yep
silk geyser
Fascinating
silk geyser
It should still show up in the taskmanager even if you had no driver installed whatsoever
lunar shore
im cursed for real wtf
silk geyser
Yeah it's pretty weird. What about stuff like the chipset drivers for your motherboard and such, do you have them installed?
lunar shore
yep
silk geyser
Okay. Is there a different PCI-E port you could try?
silk geyser
I know it's a wild goose chase at this point but it could literally be anything.
But I think we've ruled out graphics card at this point.

but it doesn't show up in the task manager
This is semi-normal for windows, i've always had intermittent issues with the gpu showing in windows task manager.. as long as you've got the display plugged into it and you've got output, it's working (5900x does not have integrated btw)
Using DDU to uninstall old drivers and installing fresh for the new gpu in the system should fix wonky issues like that but it is windows so might not
Most important thing to test, is whether or not the same issues you were having before are persisting
silk geyser
Yeah, I figured Gits already did that. My bad.
median notch
it still on the rtx 2070 super drivers
They even said they didn't smh 
silk geyser
Well... Let's just see how it turns out
lunar shore
Idk why but the pc just sometimes restart like once in a while
Happened with the rtx 2070 super as well
median notch
Like all the sudden black screen and it reboots, or wha
lunar shore
Yeah just reboots suddenly
median notch
Next time it happens, check event viewer > system and look for any error level events, may hint to what's happening..
Considering it's actually restarting, and not just cold powering off.. i have vibes it might not be PSU
silk geyser
Also, check that all your cables are correctly seated in place.
lunar shore
okay now it shows up in the task manager
after the drivers
lets check csgo again
to be honest I hope the problem is with the gpu and not cpu
okay I got my answer
not even a little artifact
silk geyser
So you've installed fresh drivers and you're using a GTX1050Ti in a secondary PCI-E slot, correct?
lunar shore
yes indeed
I dont think it connected to the PCI-E slot
because i had the same problem first when I connected it to the second one
the drivers where the problem in this one
silk geyser
If you had the same problem with GTX1050Ti before doing a fresh driver install, the issue was definitely just driver related.
lunar shore
No no
The driver in rtx 2070 super were perfect for it
I did fresh install for it as well before
silk geyser
Well, let's just see how it goes
silk geyser
it doesn't really matter, since the graphics card is the cluprit
honestly trying to figure out how to fix it is just another can of worms that I wouldn't dig into at this point
you could try reflashing the gpu bios but I don't know...
lunar shore
hmmm if it was something about the bios the bios reset wouldn't have solved that already
but thank you very much for your help
you guys helped a lot
silk geyser
Uhh no, I was talking about the graphics card's bios
two different things
but no problem, good luck hunting a new graphics card
lunar shore
I didn't even know that was a thing lol
But that only means I didn't touch it and I shouldn't
silk geyser
Well you can still make some money by putting it up for sale as a broken one.

Are all games like that?
near rune
and right now I heard my gpu doing weird sounds
Coil whine?
lunar shore
Are all games like that?
yes
lunar shore
Coil whine?
yes I think so
silk geyser
If that was the case, replacing the graphics card wouldn't have worked.
Also, the drivers got uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times here, it's pretty clear that the issue is with the graphics card itself.
near rune
🤔
silk geyser
There just isn't much else to it. Like unless the 2070 suddenly starts working just fine in a different system, it's clear that the graphics card is broken.
I did suggest flashing the vbios, but it seems like Gits isn't comfortable doing it.

People do it all the time. Yes there is a risk but the card is basically useless now 🤷🏻♂️
silk geyser
@lunar shore
lunar shore
?
silk geyser
So how about it? Try reflashing the graphics card bios?
lunar shore
I can try but I don't know how to do it
