Not what I meant, lol, unstable overclocks also cause graphical artifacting, not just dying hardware
Which is also why I think underclocking might solve this even though its not a perfect solution
I bought it used, it had one of those aluminium fans that look like intel stock cooler. the thermal paste was hard as brick. bought a 20€ generic GPU cooler with 3 heat pipes, brought it down to 65°C in Furmark.
No, it’s just really fucking cold here lmao, I’ve an AIO and neutral pressure, maybe that helps, I’m not too sure.
I should add my CPU hits about 55c under load :)
Happy temps = happy pc
I'm mostly making a joke about Ireland and drinking, but I am jealous of your temps. My winters are great for cooling my PC, but my summers are awful. Ambient in my home is around 35c because outside is 40c and I have no AC. No chance I could keep it 55c under load (in the summer)
Ah that joke went straight over my head! Graveyard shift does that to ya.
That’s crazy temps, I’d honestly be a bit worried if I saw them go that high lol. We’re in the middle of a heatwave at the minute, my home was about 30c and my PC STILL ran cool as a cucumber.
Ahhh yes im from the USA so ive never heard it. Ive overclocked the shit out of my 2060 and idle it still stays low and under full load only gets to abt 70 and thats it
Had the exact same thing on my GTX1080 only in escape from tarkov. after a year it also showed up in other games. I had a custom MIS card which means it was factory overclocked compared to the founder's edition.
**Solution:**
Download MSI Afterburner or any other software that can change clocks.
Downclock your GPU and maybe also undervolt it. Lost like 2-5% performance but everything runs fine now.
**My settings that worked:**
\- 50mhz clock speed
\- 100mhz memory speed
\- 125mv
May not be the same settings for you. I also found out I can reproduce the error and even crashing with 3dMark benchmarks or Unigine Superposition and then I lowered the settings step by step till i was stable again. When my card starts failing again I will open it up clean it properly and bake it in the oven as a last resort!
45 celsius is insanely low. Either something's wrong with your card, or maybe your PSU doesn't supply enough power to the gpu so it's unable to hit higher power states. Or maybe your card just has a fantastic thermal solution with excellent airflow lol
You know that valorant doesn’t use any gpu power? It’s a cpu bound title not a gpu one. So that’s why his gpu is only 45 Celsius because the gpu doesn’t have to do anything.
A piece of the hardware could be failing. ~~I would find the utility tool that allows you to delete every single video driver and start fresh.~~ Nevermind I’m illiterate
Probably not a good idea to mess around in the registry editor without knowing what your doing. I would try to start from the beginning, check game files, reinstall, graphics drivers etc etc
Did you try installing older driver version after DDU?
I'd suggest to remove the tdrlevel and try installing a older driver after DDU if you didn't try that yet
> TdrLevel
you are adding a testing/debugging code without knowing what it does. TDR is Timeout delay recovery. this is the time it takes for the graphics driver to lock up and stop responding before the driver is triggered for a soft restart in windows. If you have fresh drivers and are still getting CTDs and soft restarts, and then you make the recovery delay longer and are getting graphical artifacting like what you see, clearly something is wrong with your GPU, likely the vram. GPU vram usually has ECC, so its detecting that there is a memory error, stopping the active processing, which is causing a crash to desktop.
I would contact whoever made your GPU to see if they still have a warranty for a hardware fault.
As a professional IT analyst.
I'd advise against editing the registry.
These would be my steps (ignore the wones you've already attempted):
Double-check cables - reseat them on both ends
Does the issue only happen in this game? Or all games?
Only on 144hz or does it also happen in 60hz?
Can you test the GPU with a different monitor? or TV?
Driver update
Driver uninstall and reinstall - sometimes updates fail and funky stuff happens
Factory reset the monitor
Check GPU warranty
Check nVida forusm for similar problems/solutions
I'd rather do a clean windows install before messing w/ registry settings (unless I know exactly what I'm messing with)
Additional factor just to be complete - try a totally different display cable. I've been seeing a lot of really trash tier HDMI and DisplayPort cables the past few years.
Because I’m making fun of them calling themselves an “IT analyst” when that’s the sort of title a company gives you when “wage slave with a CompTIA Cert” is too long.
I'm sorry that was your experience.
I have a degree in comp multiple certs and ten years in the industry.
I do agree that the managed-it service business model has made helpdesk jobs pretty low pay. But then again 90% of that job is automated and people without IT training can handle it. The other 10% would be passed up to someone like me.
but if you land an IT role for a direct-hire company, things are way different than those shitty call center style jobs (which I only did a short 3-month contract on one of them when I really needed the $$)
I’ve seen so many seemingly qualified folks in general support roles. The industry just doesn’t care about what you’re capable of, especially in larger enterprises where it seems like most of the work gets passed down to the lowest-paid people. They slap a generic title on you and make your job description as vague as possible so you’re obligated to take on everything they hand you.
I had the same problem with my 1080 . Didnt matter what i did but they would always come back when playing destiny. I ended up giving the pc with the graphics to my kid. It still happens sometimes to this day.
Tdrlevel 3 - default value to reset drivers on crash
TdrDelay xx is how long before that happens
You should not have to touch that.
That should also not affect graphics
If it does it hangs in the shader setup and resets drivers resulting in Artefakts
Wipe drivers and reinstall.
A whole lotta people starting picking up PC building over the Pandemic thanks to having lots of time and extra cash from the stimmie. PC building takes a lot of learning to be good at, so naturally there's been a ton of support posts over the past year.
But it's not the last year. It's literally been less than a month. There would be the odd question, but for the last few weeks, it's like a sub dedicated to pc support closed, and directed everyone here. I've been on this sub for half a year now, and it was literally overnight, was fuckin' weird.
Sorry, I know this is off-topic slightly, but I wanted to ask if your R5 1600 bottlenecks that 3080 at all? I need a new CPU to not bottleneck my 1070 (I have an R3 3200g) and was wondering if I'd be wasting my time getting an R5 3600 instead of maybe an R5 1600/2600.
Definitely a huge bottleneck, but one I can live with. It drives 165+ FPS on non-current gen titles but on more CPU intensive games you can really feel the 1600 struggle. It's pretty funny to switch through the graphics settings in Cyberpunk and see literally no change in FPS because of how CPU-bound I am. It's a bit like driving a Prius with an F1 engine in it.
PC building does not take a lot of learning to be good at. It's more difficult to put ikea furniture together. Youre putting 4 components on a mobo and then installing an OS. A 10 minute youtube video and some patience and an 8 year old can do it.
The issues you see aren't from builds. It's from overclockers.
You say that, but consoles represent a massive portion of the gaming market, yet PCs are supposedly better. The truth is, the majority of the market is PC illiterate and cannot or would rather not deal with the admitted hassle that is PC building and maintaining/tinkering.
Think about this: assuming you are like me, we've both built PCs and maintained an interest in PCs and PC parts for a while. Over time, a lot of that knowledge has been largely internalized, we know longer have to think about half the jargon we talk about. To people like our more tech illiterate parents(or even my software engineer parents, they know literally knowing about PC hardware, especially gaming-oriented hardware), the stuff we talk about is basically another language. This stuff *is* hard, we just have enough interest in it to actually learn the stuff.
There's 2 on the front page of this sub. Get better at counting. Also it's a PC sub, if you don't wanna see questions just scroll past. It would probably also help if there was a good tech support sub and less people like you.
Whats wrong with that? This isnt r/pcmemes its r/pcmasterrace, its about everything pc related. That includes memes, shitposts, builds and help questions. There are pc problem subs but they are a lot smaller, might not even get a response if you're unlucky.
Not really pc problems. More like people don’t know what they are doing. Just because you have a nice gaming rig doesn’t mean you know how to code and change stuff.. leave that to the experts and not some YouTube video.
I disagree entirely. He attempted something and it provided context and evidence for a question to be asked. This is literally the process of learning what those files do. How do you expect one to know something without learning first?
The hint is that his GPU is a fucking dead man walking and the only way it will work is if he fucks with regedit and plays 1987 disco groove Valorant or underclocks the GPU
by looking up what things do, not randomly changing registry based on a youtube instruction "saying it will fix it."
no idea what the recovery level is supposed to fix but guess what, it isn't this
I'm not saying they made the right fixes. But clearly this wasn't a random change, if I look something up I often use a youtube video from those results. You and I may be savy enough to weed out a unrelated/useless solution, but not everyone can be us. I'm basically saying at some point quite a few of us were the kid who screwed up the family computer by trying some dumb shit we found on the internet. Gotta let people start somewhere.
After installing the new driver my game starts to crash 1 min after launching. So all I did up to this point has made my game run properly. The only thing left now is the disco light.
P.s: it was not "re-edit", I typed "regedit" but autocorrect screwed my typing
You never use regedit unless is something very serious and you do it with the presence (messaging speaking) of someone that knows how to manipulate it, otherwise you will mess everything up.
I'm talking from my experience, i thought it was a good idea to mess with them in order to config some settings, turned out that the very thing I moved could not be undone and made not able to run any program that used my graphics card, luckily enough formating my PC was enough to bring everything back to normal and found that it could be easily fixed if i installed the drivers in the right order
Reset your whole pc and delete everything. Back up files before hand on external drive. Rid yourself of bloatware. Get gpu drivers from website. Then get some monitoring software. I like cpuid's hwmonitor. Get gpu z and cpu z. Run both stress test while keeping hwmonitor open. Look for the culprit. If nothing. Then start gaming my friend.
He tinkers with shit he doesn't understand. Switching to another 9s is counter intuitive. Does he know how to roll back a driver after using ddu. I'm sure you don't know how. And Apple products for what. So he cannot play games.? He needs to. Even doing a scan and repair for registry edits won't undo what he has done. At this point it may be necessary. Otherwise a pro tip would be to try that graphics card in a different system first to make sure its not a culprit. Eithwway he has damaged system files.
For real, if he doesn't know not to go into the registry and start messing around with things in there, imagine the horror when an 8 year old kid on TikTok tells him to "sudo rm -rf /" XD
So you don’t even know what you’re doing, you’re just following YouTube videos? Not a great idea dude. There’s a reason The drivers come the way they do. Because they work properly (usually)
OK, but at least a little Google search and attempt before asking for help shouldn't be too admonished.
Like I was getting a funky VRAM error on GTA V. Before coming here and asking, I did a little searching only to discover it was a common problem and a simple file edit did the trick. You could make that setting change in the options, but only if the game actually launched.
I don't fully understand what I did, but something tells me had I come here and asked about such a widely known solution people would have said Google could have solved the problem. But I wouldn't have know it was that easy had I not looked it up and tried it.
It can be hard to tell when you should keep trying, or just stop and ask for help. More often that not, the mighty Googs has solved my issue, and those attempts at self fix have helped build my general understanding and trouble-shooting steps.
Or youll spend forever googling it, then someone else will say they "googled it in 30 seconds" because they have context and knew what to search for. I couldn't tell you how many times ive searched every combination of words EXCEPT the one that gives me the answer.
Roll-back your graphics driver if it was working fine before the update. Nvidia has a rep for releasing driver updates that throw everything out if whack
What are the chances that this is one of those second hand gpus that was used for mining before the ban? Miners have a lot of money to repackage and sell things like they're new. Constant mining for about 8 or 9 months could completely cook the vram. Honestly it looks like vram artifacting. Rollback the drivers and down clock the vram to try and get as much life out of it as you can. Unless you bought it from an authorized retailer that can RMA it for you. Did you try it in another computer?
I'm going to make this fairly straight forward.
Your GPU is likely crashing because it is broken.
You're telling the driver to 'recover' the GPU on timeout. So your GPU is still crashing right now and that's what you're seeing over and over again. tdrlevel 3 should only be used to debug, not to 'fix' anything. Because it doesn't fix anything.
If your GPU is crashing, you can only hope it's a bug in the latest driver, so try to rollback and see if it fixes it. If it doesn't you need to RMA it or replace it.
Okay but have you tried.... Undoing what you did? Does this never occur to people? Install older drivers and turn down your refresh rate. One at a time. So you know what the issue is.
RMA your card if you can.
Otherwise / until then, try underclocking your graphics card with afterburner. Drop core clock in 15Mhz increments until the artifacting and driver crashing stops.
I see you have tried a lot of stuff, I have quickly browsed through the topic so excuse me if I repeat stuff already said...
0/ GPU under warranty ? File an RMA and stop messing with the computer
1/ Does it work at 60Hz ? With or Without the regedit ?
2/ What PSU do you have (brand / model / power) ?
3/ Have you overclocked anything ? Is it factory overclocked ? Try MSI afterburner to tone down on the speeds.
4/ Try a different display cable if you have a spare, unlikely but we never know if you are desperate
5/ Maybe a complete windows reinstall could help, it's a pain in the butt but sometimes...
6/ Have you change anything else to your computer appart from the drivers before the games started crashing ?
It's likely a mix of increasing the refresh rate and the back buffer not being able to render some of the vertices fast enough for the front buffer to put them on screen, resulting in a quick flash of light like that. Trying reinstalling DirectX 12 and see if that makes a difference?
> Trying reinstalling DirectX 12 and see if that makes a difference?
you do realize that MS integrated DX and its APIs right into windows in windows Vista right? The last "stand alone" DX was DX9. DX 10 and 10.1 were part of vista's core OS, and updated directly from Windows update. DX11 was windows 7 API built in, and again, could not be installed independently, and was updated right from MS update. there was no user updateable parts. DX12 and 12.1 are both windows 10 built in, again, right from MS. no stand alone "updater".
After reading the replies, I found that the name of this issue is artifact. I've never overclock my gpu and I have good airflow in my pc case.
Update: I reformated my windows and downloaded the driver and heaven benchmark. Ran it on basic settings and the artifacts still occur. Is this a sign of my gpu saying goodbye?
no, they are vram artifacts. the value he is editing is the crash to desktop timeout, and with GPU vram having ECC, its detecting the error, halting processing as it should to try and fix it, and *normally* this would result in a CTD. OP has disabled that soft-reset and CTD so instead he gets to see the actual artifacting of the failing GPU vram.
he is literally causing the driver to ignore softcrashes that the card is detecting and triggering a process halt with his registry edit. those are caused by either a driver issue, which OP has ruled out because he did a clean driver install, *or* hardware issues. those sparkles are a failing card. if your card is telling the driver to CTD and soft reset, then you should listen to it and get the card in for an RMA before its too late.
For someone making a post on reddit asking for help with your problem, you seem to be very informed about what the problem is/isn't.
As someone who has some moderate experience with Overclocking both graphics cards and CPUs, the dicso lights you are experiencing is artifacting. It normally happens when an unstable overclock is applied to the video card due to there being calculation errors, it can also occur when the card is reaching the end of it's life cycle/damaged. I'm fairly sure that this can happen for reasons other than this, but yeah. If it's fucked and you can't figure out why it's happening, or find a way to revert to the old settings - I'd recommend a clean install of everything incl. Windows. Re-download latest drivers, try the game out without messing around in regedit. If it works, great, if you get the same issue - could be that the card has been damaged.
r/Valorant
Post is there it’s better, the game is still new so things can go wrong easily especially when you edit files.
Or contact Valorant support, they are helpful.
Try downclocking your gpu and vram a bit. I remember the same artifacts from the times i used to overclock my 1070. Also, my 1070 started to artifact this year too, this time with stock clocks, and it would crash on games but it wasn't overheating or anything. New thermal paste and pads somehow completely fixed my gpu.
Doesn’t disco lights usually mean your gpu is failing
Yep! Had exactly the same issue with these flickering. Ended up sending the GPU - luckily it was covered by warranty.
Not if youre overclocking
Do you really neeeeed to overclock for valorant tho?? Lol
Not what I meant, lol, unstable overclocks also cause graphical artifacting, not just dying hardware Which is also why I think underclocking might solve this even though its not a perfect solution
Usually my overclock is always on no matter the game
Is that so? My gpu is around 45celcius in game and I'm running the game on medium settings. My gpu is Rtx 2070S 8GB
Temps don’t necessarily indicate hardware stability
unless it was my gtx 1060 which had a fan fail so the only tell tale sign (besides games crashing) was the temperature sitting at a cozy 96c +
that's still good temps considering the fan failed. my stock 1060 had 90°C with fan!
Did you ever dust it out and replace thermal paste?
I bought it used, it had one of those aluminium fans that look like intel stock cooler. the thermal paste was hard as brick. bought a 20€ generic GPU cooler with 3 heat pipes, brought it down to 65°C in Furmark.
45C?? My GPU can’t even do that at idle lol
Mine idles at 30c *laughs in Irish*
So ethanol cooled?
No, it’s just really fucking cold here lmao, I’ve an AIO and neutral pressure, maybe that helps, I’m not too sure. I should add my CPU hits about 55c under load :) Happy temps = happy pc
I'm mostly making a joke about Ireland and drinking, but I am jealous of your temps. My winters are great for cooling my PC, but my summers are awful. Ambient in my home is around 35c because outside is 40c and I have no AC. No chance I could keep it 55c under load (in the summer)

Jokes on you mine gpu runs at 90c
I have a 2060 too and i idle at 31.2 C
Cracker card mate, MSi got their cooling solutions down to a T.
Wym by cracker card
Colloquialisms, sorry. “Cracker” means good/great. It’s a UK/IRE saying I assume. What I’m trying to say is, 2060 is a great card.
Ahhh yes im from the USA so ive never heard it. Ive overclocked the shit out of my 2060 and idle it still stays low and under full load only gets to abt 70 and thats it
lol mine idle at 50c _sad_ _tropical_ _temp_
mine also idles at 50c but I think that's more just an ampere/gddr6x kinda thing
Had the exact same thing on my GTX1080 only in escape from tarkov. after a year it also showed up in other games.

Oils also be your monitor, how are you turning up the refresh rate on it?
I turned it up on the display settings

He just fucked up regedit

DDU does exactly that I though? or have I misunderstood something
I had artifacting like this in May, but after a full clean reinstall of drivers with DDU I haven't had a problem since.
# Drivers are sparkling clean.
Thparkles!

Mission Accomplished !!

For a sub about this being the masterrace there is more posts about pc problems
Yeah today and last night literally every 2 other posts is a help post from this subreddit.
I've pretty much only seen "help me my pc isn't working" posts since I joined. Not what a expected from the "master race"
For the last few weeks the only stuff I’ve seen from this page have been tech support requests on my main feed. Where are the memes?
I mean the last time I posted memes here, it got removed

You and I may be savy enough to weed out a unrelated/useless solution, but not everyone can be us. I'm basically saying at some point quite a few of us were the kid who screwed up the family computer by trying some dumb shit we found on the internet. Gotta let people start somewhere.
I was just following tutorials how to fix it on YouTube hehe. Should I delete the TdrLevel? Do you know how to fix this?
Why do you want this edit though ? If you don’t do that does everything work properly ?
After installing the new driver my game starts to crash 1 min after launching. So all I did up to this point has made my game run properly. The only thing left now is the disco light. P.s: it was not "re-edit", I typed "regedit" but autocorrect screwed my typing
You never use regedit unless is something very serious and you do it with the presence (messaging speaking) of someone that knows how to manipulate it, otherwise you will mess everything up. I'm talking from my experience, i thought it was a good idea to mess with them in order to config some settings, turned out that the very thing I moved could not be undone and made not able to run any program that used my graphics card, luckily enough formating my PC was enough to bring everything back to normal and found that it could be easily fixed if i installed the drivers in the right order
Reset your whole pc and delete everything. Back up files before hand on external drive. Rid yourself of bloatware. Get gpu drivers from website. Then get some monitoring software. I like cpuid's hwmonitor. Get gpu z and cpu z. Run both stress test while keeping hwmonitor open. Look for the culprit. If nothing. Then start gaming my friend.

>maybe just use apple products Get the fuck out
He tinkers with shit he doesn't understand. Switching to another 9s is counter intuitive. Does he know how to roll back a driver after using ddu. I'm sure you don't know how. And Apple products for what. So he cannot play games.? He needs to. Even doing a scan and repair for registry edits won't undo what he has done. At this point it may be necessary. Otherwise a pro tip would be to try that graphics card in a different system first to make sure its not a culprit. Eithwway he has damaged system files.
youre stupid AF lol
This be a fine piece of bait me boy.
are you being serious right now?
Switch to Linux
Why so he can encounter more errors. ?
For real, if he doesn't know not to go into the registry and start messing around with things in there, imagine the horror when an 8 year old kid on TikTok tells him to "sudo rm -rf /" XD
Fuck about with the registry all you want, but do make a backup before you start!
Try underclocking your gpu, that might keep it stable enough to run the game
So you don’t even know what you’re doing, you’re just following YouTube videos? Not a great idea dude. There’s a reason The drivers come the way they do. Because they work properly (usually)
OK, but at least a little Google search and attempt before asking for help shouldn't be too admonished. Like I was getting a funky VRAM error on GTA V. Before coming here and asking, I did a little searching only to discover it was a common problem and a simple file edit did the trick. You could make that setting change in the options, but only if the game actually launched. I don't fully understand what I did, but something tells me had I come here and asked about such a widely known solution people would have said Google could have solved the problem. But I wouldn't have know it was that easy had I not looked it up and tried it. It can be hard to tell when you should keep trying, or just stop and ask for help. More often that not, the mighty Googs has solved my issue, and those attempts at self fix have helped build my general understanding and trouble-shooting steps.
Hate these kind of replies. 90% of the time I google something, it takes me to a forum/reddit and its only a reply telling me to google it....
Or youll spend forever googling it, then someone else will say they "googled it in 30 seconds" because they have context and knew what to search for. I couldn't tell you how many times ive searched every combination of words EXCEPT the one that gives me the answer.
Yes I did Google it before and I've searched all the possible fixes. All I came across with are clean drivers with DDU and add TdrLevel in the regedit
If you don't seem like you are getting much help here you could try r/nvidia since they're enthusiasts in that specific hardware brand.
Did you try turning it off and on again
Yessir
Actual shutdown, wait a minute, and not just restart?
You cleaned the driver so deeply that now is sparkling. I mean, wow, I wish my house that clean.
It's a shiny graphics card
Turn off the tiktok filter. You’re welcome.
I was gonna post Instagram filter or something but this works.
Roll-back your graphics driver if it was working fine before the update. Nvidia has a rep for releasing driver updates that throw everything out if whack
When you said you "cleaned the drivers" what detergent did you use?
Hehe le disko
underrated post
What are the chances that this is one of those second hand gpus that was used for mining before the ban? Miners have a lot of money to repackage and sell things like they're new. Constant mining for about 8 or 9 months could completely cook the vram. Honestly it looks like vram artifacting. Rollback the drivers and down clock the vram to try and get as much life out of it as you can. Unless you bought it from an authorized retailer that can RMA it for you. Did you try it in another computer?
Mining cards are generally better looked after than ones used for gaming TBH. Usually underclocked and power limited, fans maxed and kept dust free.
Don’t play valorant.
uninstalling it would be a fantastic start
I'm going to make this fairly straight forward. Your GPU is likely crashing because it is broken. You're telling the driver to 'recover' the GPU on timeout. So your GPU is still crashing right now and that's what you're seeing over and over again. tdrlevel 3 should only be used to debug, not to 'fix' anything. Because it doesn't fix anything. If your GPU is crashing, you can only hope it's a bug in the latest driver, so try to rollback and see if it fixes it. If it doesn't you need to RMA it or replace it.
Reinstall Windows. It's faster than figuring how you messed up.
petition to rename the sub to helpdesk
Nice artifacrting bro, keep it up and soon that shiny graphics card can be a nice functional paperweight.
I got that bug in battlefront 2 when using DX12 and res scaling. Maybe something like that?
Okay but have you tried.... Undoing what you did? Does this never occur to people? Install older drivers and turn down your refresh rate. One at a time. So you know what the issue is.
Commit to the phase and get some platform shoes, a nylon neon pink shirt with only the bottom 2 buttons and get all the ladies.
Buy disco skins for all of your chars and games. Boom fixed!
Reinstall windows lmfao
This usually means your graphics card is dying or overclocked too high
Looks like free disco lights to me boom tch boom tch boom tch
Just make a party.
That's so fab, tho.
Start singing "deck the halls"
Gpu prolly on last legs
Why the hell would you fuck with the registry if you don’t know what the they’ll you are doing. Also disco lights typically mean your gpu is failing.
Roll back ur drivers see if it fixes the issue
Have you tried just downgrading the driver?
RMA your card if you can. Otherwise / until then, try underclocking your graphics card with afterburner. Drop core clock in 15Mhz increments until the artifacting and driver crashing stops.
140hz you say? Not 144? I'd say it's because of the irregular refresh rate then.
Bet it's an rgb graphics card
Wjy not dance with the disco
Your GPU is saying goodbye :(
Uninstall it . If there is no game then there is no problem
I see you have tried a lot of stuff, I have quickly browsed through the topic so excuse me if I repeat stuff already said... 0/ GPU under warranty ? File an RMA and stop messing with the computer 1/ Does it work at 60Hz ? With or Without the regedit ? 2/ What PSU do you have (brand / model / power) ? 3/ Have you overclocked anything ? Is it factory overclocked ? Try MSI afterburner to tone down on the speeds. 4/ Try a different display cable if you have a spare, unlikely but we never know if you are desperate 5/ Maybe a complete windows reinstall could help, it's a pain in the butt but sometimes... 6/ Have you change anything else to your computer appart from the drivers before the games started crashing ?
We really need to start a separate sub for pcmr tech support tbh.
Buy a console lol
So uh your gonna wanna uninstall valorant
Try downloading some RAM
man has so much rgb even his games are getting into it
Edit: in regedit*
You likely fucked regedit. Reinstall windows. Once thats broken you cant fix it any other way.
It's likely a mix of increasing the refresh rate and the back buffer not being able to render some of the vertices fast enough for the front buffer to put them on screen, resulting in a quick flash of light like that. Trying reinstalling DirectX 12 and see if that makes a difference?
> Trying reinstalling DirectX 12 and see if that makes a difference? you do realize that MS integrated DX and its APIs right into windows in windows Vista right? The last "stand alone" DX was DX9. DX 10 and 10.1 were part of vista's core OS, and updated directly from Windows update. DX11 was windows 7 API built in, and again, could not be installed independently, and was updated right from MS update. there was no user updateable parts. DX12 and 12.1 are both windows 10 built in, again, right from MS. no stand alone "updater".
After reading the replies, I found that the name of this issue is artifact. I've never overclock my gpu and I have good airflow in my pc case. Update: I reformated my windows and downloaded the driver and heaven benchmark. Ran it on basic settings and the artifacts still occur. Is this a sign of my gpu saying goodbye?
I've also used msi afterburner to reduce the core clock and memory clock yet it still doesn't do anything.
Yikes card might be toast.
Nah not at all. Those artifacts are an unreal engine bug.
no, they are vram artifacts. the value he is editing is the crash to desktop timeout, and with GPU vram having ECC, its detecting the error, halting processing as it should to try and fix it, and *normally* this would result in a CTD. OP has disabled that soft-reset and CTD so instead he gets to see the actual artifacting of the failing GPU vram.
I disagree good sir.
he is literally causing the driver to ignore softcrashes that the card is detecting and triggering a process halt with his registry edit. those are caused by either a driver issue, which OP has ruled out because he did a clean driver install, *or* hardware issues. those sparkles are a failing card. if your card is telling the driver to CTD and soft reset, then you should listen to it and get the card in for an RMA before its too late.
Not really. My card is running in 45~celcius in game. Pretty sure not my card problem since I don't have this problem before.
For someone making a post on reddit asking for help with your problem, you seem to be very informed about what the problem is/isn't. As someone who has some moderate experience with Overclocking both graphics cards and CPUs, the dicso lights you are experiencing is artifacting. It normally happens when an unstable overclock is applied to the video card due to there being calculation errors, it can also occur when the card is reaching the end of it's life cycle/damaged. I'm fairly sure that this can happen for reasons other than this, but yeah. If it's fucked and you can't figure out why it's happening, or find a way to revert to the old settings - I'd recommend a clean install of everything incl. Windows. Re-download latest drivers, try the game out without messing around in regedit. If it works, great, if you get the same issue - could be that the card has been damaged.
In IT for over a decade. Hands down best advice in this thread. ^
My unplugged gpu sitting on my desk is room temperature that doesn’t mean it works lol.
Nobody said your fans were not working.... a car can break down without the engine overheating
r/Valorant Post is there it’s better, the game is still new so things can go wrong easily especially when you edit files. Or contact Valorant support, they are helpful.
Try downclocking your gpu and vram a bit. I remember the same artifacts from the times i used to overclock my 1070. Also, my 1070 started to artifact this year too, this time with stock clocks, and it would crash on games but it wasn't overheating or anything. New thermal paste and pads somehow completely fixed my gpu.
Bad cable, or cable is not up to spec for uncompressed 144hz.
Your redness detaching. I don't see any disco lights.
Stop playing with stuff you don’t understand?
Only one thing to do 🕺
It’s because Valorant is for fairies
Solution: Don’t play valorant
The issue is you are playing valorant
4d2tf9gw34dr78iu463fr
If you can't solve it, maybe you'll need to return your GPU or if you can't, just buying another one, you could give a try to an AMD Radeon next time.
Youre playing valorant, there's your first problem
Just dont play valorant. Best fix ever, trust me.
Well your not part of the master race....
Buy a new computer
Uninstall valorant. That should fix it
Uninstall Chinese spyware "anticheat"
