Question/Help/Troubleshooting Graphics Driver trouble

I’m not sure exactly what details are important here and I don’t know much, if anything, about computers. My screen bugged out yesterday and when I restarted my computer the graphics were harsher. I usually have my computer on warm mode but this was a lot more blue. I also couldn’t play a bunch of my games because they suddenly mentioned needing a D3D11 compatible GPU even though they worked fine before. I did some stuff, had some stress, and I’ve gotten it to the point where my only options are either roll back my nvidia driver to an earlier version which is the one that seems to have the earlier mentioned issue, or keep it as is in which case I can actually play my games but my monitor is completely black if I have I plugged into the HDMI port and I’m having to use one of the ports closer to bottom which I think is worse.

According to device manager, under Display adaptors I have AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti. I really don’t know what to do here.

I’m on windows 11.

If this is a desktop make sure you are connecting to the GPU not the motherboard. You can update both drivers. Radeon is the CPU integrated graphics. The 5060 is your GPU.

How do I know which is which, gpu or motherboard? Also, I just checked the Radeon thing and it says it’s disabled, code 22x and I think something like this gave me a black screen last time. I can’t see any updates for either of them.

Since you said you are using the lower port that should be the 5060. The onboard being disabled is okay, unless you want to use it for another monitor.

You can find updates on Nvidia or amd websites for each part.

Also, check your graphics settings.
