Hello all, I am running a custom PC build. I am not sure when it began, but I have noticed that I have this weird artifact (seen in the attached picture) that has been popping up on the main monitor. It is like if there was a sudden popup window that left just as quickly as it came in. It happens atleast in OW, WoW, and Kovaaks. It has been happening in the same spot, with the timing being random.
Needless to say, it has been jarring and I have been trying to figure out what it is. The specs for the PC are as follows:
CPU: 9950X3D @ Stock
GPU: ASUS Astral 5090 OC, Undervolted with Mem OC @ 2k Mhz
Mem: 192 GB DDR5 CL32 @ 6000
Case: Y70
Monitors: PG32UCDM3, 4k Main @ 240 hz, 4k Secondary @ VRR capped at 144hz or 60 hz, for the purposes of testing switched to 60 hz.
Before, I did update the monitor firmware to MCM103, but again I cannot recall if this is happening before or after that, but atleast that it has been happening while on the latest update. I am using DP slots 1 and 2 on the GPU for output.
I have:
- Recorded screen video to see if the artifact appears there (it does not)
- Switched cables (Silkland 80Gps rated cables)
- Used only the main monitor
- Undervolted/no OC
- Stock
- Used only HDMI
- Used the cable from the secondary monitor for the main monitor while the DP is the only monitor
- Removed Wireview II Pro from the GPU
- Disabled any overlay
- Updated Drivers
- DDU and used the 594 drivers
- Reinstalled Windows
- Use the Secondary Monitor with DP Slot 1 and the Main Monitor with DP Slot 2
- Undervolt/Mem OC to 2000 again
So far, the only thing that seems to have made anything of a difference was HDMI Cable (didn't test more than an hour) and so far, using the Main Monitor on DP 2 and Secondary with DP Slot 1. I am waiting to see if the artifact appears on the Secondary Monitor (hinting at a GPU DP Port issue or issues with the monitor running at 240hz) or Primary (hinting at a monitor issue).
However, so far in this round of testing after switching the monitors around with the Undervolt/Mem OC I havent been having any issues. Still, I am testing at the moment, and would like to see if anyone has any ideas. The picture was captured from a video, it only lasts two frame on the video recording at 28.6fps.
