lines appear randomly while working but on certain conditions, such as some amount of black on a background, in light conditions seen less or not seen.
GPU artifacts?
Ryzen 7 3700x
Nvidia RTX 2070 Super from Gigabyte
32gb RAM 3200mhz
Aourus b450-m

Do you have access to another computer? My instinct is monitor going bad.

cursive vapor
#

yea. i totaly do

cursive vapor
brazen arch
#

If the problem doesnt show up, then my other guess is overheating gpu

#

In my past when I had screen issues, I looked at my gpu and fan had stopped spining

cursive vapor
#

also have another monitor, old syncmaster from samsung

#

fan on gpu is working

#

not on load, but still there

brazen arch
#

then that isnt the likely issue 🙂

cursive vapor
#

artifacts on benchmark are not seen.
but perfomance is way lower than expected

brazen arch
#

Can you explain better, I am hearing like 2 things

cursive vapor
dapper flint
#

can we get a pic of the artifact?

cursive vapor
#

sure

#

it was like the most agressive it got

brazen arch
#

if I saw that on my own monitor I would think someone dropped it

cursive vapor
brazen arch
#

oh

#

try pushing in the hdmi cable

#

could be a loose wire

cursive vapor
#

could it be a bad port?

brazen arch
#

sure, even dirty

cursive vapor
brazen arch
#

I am no expert, just trying to think of posibilties like ya

cursive vapor
#

could a bad port drop perfomance?

brazen arch
#

Have you tried using a different port

cursive vapor
#

it's same

brazen arch
#

or a different cable

cursive vapor
#

bought diffrent cables, good, bad, bought a dp cable for 50 bucks, still same

brazen arch
#

did you say you tried a dif monitor

cursive vapor
#

yea

#

still same, on some it did turn off and on randomly

brazen arch
#

so dif monitor does the same thing

#

gotchya

#

driver issue or gpu, that is all i have left for ideas

dapper flint
brazen arch
#

hes tried dif cables he says

cursive vapor
brazen arch
#

the only thing you havent tried is a dif gpu

cursive vapor
#

i was thinking of buying a new gpu

brazen arch
#

thats why its usefull to hold onto an old gpu that still works

#

or a friend!

cursive vapor
#

it's my first decent pc

#

it's 5 years old

brazen arch
#

my system is from the same family

cursive vapor
#

i was thinking of turning this machine into a server, and building a new one

brazen arch
#

If you got the will and funds, that is a great idea

cursive vapor
#

i mean, kinda

#

any good gpu's right now?

#

i was thinking of 7900xtx

#

is it good?

brazen arch
#

give me a sec

#

good? yes. good for the money? thats up to your value judgment

#

laucnhed at 1k$

cursive vapor
#

what is good for money then?

#

i want to play top of the line games and future proofing

brazen arch
#

what do you consider a price that doesnt make you cringe lol

cursive vapor
#

like stalker 2

brazen arch
#

if money is no object

#

rtx 4090 or that rx7900 xtx

cursive vapor
#

ah wait

brazen arch
#

there ya go, I agree with my own quick price check vs published benchmarks

#

looks like 4080 super is neck and neck with the 7900xtx

cursive vapor
#

it just costs 2431.23 in my country

#

kinda expensive

brazen arch
#

avg price seems 1800 here so its not kinda, it IS lol

cursive vapor
#

so nah id pass the 4090

brazen arch
#

I spent 450 on my 2060super from best buy a few years ago

#

still happy 😛

cursive vapor
#

sure you do, my 2070 is kinda shy of it's quality

#

as it is from gigabyte

#

so i was thinking that is the problem that causing it

brazen arch
#

thats usually a good brand around here

#

and some things just wear out, regardless og ultimate quality. just might have been unlucky if it IS the gpu

#

ive had at least 2 gpus where the fan wore out

#

one was brought back to new with a friend who replaced it

cursive vapor
#

you may be right, still it will find a new home in a server

#

now the question is amd or nvidia

#

and a model

brazen arch
#

aye, that is the question

#

I went with nvida this last time because amd was kinda behind at the time

#

but now it looks like they both have simliar tiers

cursive vapor
#

i see

This looks like G-Sync/Freesync artifacts. If the main monitor uses G-Sync or Freesync.

#

And the secondary monitor is the one with issues?

cursive vapor
#

Works from hdmi to dvi connection

tiny sage
#

Oh, you are using an adapter

#

165Hz is also too much for DVI

#

(Unless that was the other monitor)

cursive vapor
#

60hz on that one

tiny sage
#

Ok, it's the monitor your screenshotted that has issues?

cursive vapor
#

Yea

tiny sage
#

Try a different cable.

cursive vapor
#

Same problem

tiny sage
#

Did you try lowering the refresh rate to 120Hz? HDMI cables are often not made to specifications.

#

(In case both are bad)

cursive vapor
tiny sage
#

Ok, DP cables are rarely made as badly as HDMI so probably not the cable.

#

@cursive vapor Last thing I can think of. Open Nvidia Control Panel → Display → Set up G-Sync and check the DVI monitor.

#

In case it for some reason got enabled on it

cursive vapor
tiny sage
#

Huh

#

It should because at least one monitor supports it

#

Maybe because it's off in the monitor settings

#

But that crosses it off the list.

#

You could try DDU, but I don't feel like it's related

#

I don't have anything else other than faulty monitor.

cursive vapor
#

so quick update.
i plugged off the tv from graphics card, and the problem seems gone

cursive vapor
#

Nope
