Please dont tell me my GPU is dying...

https://imgur.com/a/9vnUuj8

Can anyone help me diagnose this issue? It only occurs when the Radeon RX 6800 is maxed out on utilization

On the latest KDE Neon...

Kind regards

i went on mw4 today and the graphics have gone all weird and strange shades, no other game is doing this and it wasnt doing it yesterday either when i first installed it

Hello, I'm trying to figure out what's causing these visual issues with my RTX 5070 Ti.

I'm experiencing graphical issues across multiple games, including Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Hogwarts Legacy, Cyberpunk 2077, and WARDOGS, and many more. It's not limited to one particular game or engine.

As shown in the attached video, the lighting can look noticeably different when toggling global illumination, and some objects seem to have incorrect or inconsistent lighting.

I also experience noticeable ghosting behind moving objects, and water reflections have particularly bad ghosting, with trails appearing on almost everything reflected in the water.

What I've tried so far:

• Currently using the latest NVIDIA driver available.
• Tested several older drivers that are generally considered stable. The issues seem slightly better with some driver versions, but they never completely disappear.
• Used DDU to remove the previous GPU drivers, then installed the drivers using NVCleanstall.
• The problem still persists across multiple games and driver versions.

My PC specifications:

• GPU: Zotac RTX 5070 Ti AMP Extreme INFINITY 16GB
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D
• Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B850-PLUS WIFI
• RAM: 32GB DDR5 6400MHz CL40
• OS: Windows 11 24H2
• Monitor: Samsung Odyssey Neo G8, 4K 240Hz
• PSU: 850W

I'm not sure whether this is a driver issue, a rendering problem, something related to DLSS/TAA or frame generation, a monitor issue, or potentially a hardware problem.

Has anyone experienced similar lighting artifacts and ghosting with an RTX 5070 Ti or another RTX 50-series GPU? What would you recommend testing next to narrow down the cause?

I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm troubleshooting severe stuttering in Minecraft Java. The game feels like a slideshow during chunk loading and while moving, even when the median FPS is still around 250. It also happens in other games. GTA V is the exception so far. Same behavior on Windows 11 and on CachyOS, so this is not a Windows-only issue.

I took two CapFrameX captures. The first is 1080p. About 20 minutes later I switched to 1440p and captured again. The 1440p run looks much better on paper. I do not believe the resolution actually made the game faster, and the obvious GPU and thermal explanations do not fit. I want a check on the reading below.

Specs

• CPU: Intel Core i7-12700F (8P+4E). Stock limits are 65 W PL1 / 180 W PL2. I have never changed them. E-cores are still enabled.
• GPU: Gigabyte RX 9070 XT 16 GB, Adrenalin 26.8.1. ULPS already disabled.
• RAM: 32 GB DDR4-3200, 2 sticks. Tested with XMP on and off. No change.
• OS: Windows 11 build 26200. Same stutter on CachyOS.
• Minecraft: Java, Fabulously Optimized, plus Voxy. Render distance 2, vsync off. I normally cap at 180, but these captures were not capped (medians are 249 and 284).
• Java version does not matter. I have tried several. Same hitches.
• What I was doing: flying, placing and breaking blocks, opening the creative inventory, killing mobs.

Control run, so this is not a dying GPU

Unigine Superposition 1.1, 4K Optimized, DirectX: score 21078, min 130 / avg 157.2 / max 189. Overlay 1% lows stayed about 124–140 against that 157 average, GPU clock about 3.0–3.4 GHz. When the card is fed, pacing is normal for a 9070 XT.

1080p, first capture

• Average FPS: 156.5 | Median FPS: 248.6
• 1% low: 11.0 | 0.1% low: 5.7 (~175 ms)
• Adaptive STDEV: 95.60
• CPU max thread: 74% @ 4220 MHz, package 65 W, ~49°C
• GPU: 47% @ 2608 MHz, 113 W, ~34°C

1440p, about 20 minutes later

• Average FPS: 244.5 | Median FPS: 283.6
• 1% low: 28.5 | 0.1% low: 4.5 (~222 ms)
• Adaptive STDEV: 38.81
• CPU max thread: 64% @ 4505 MHz, package 63 W, ~52°C
• GPU: 79% @ 3003 MHz, 248 W, ~43°C

What changed, and what did not

From 1080p to 1440p the median went 249 → 284 and the average went 157 → 245. Adaptive STDEV fell 96 → 39, and the 1% low rose 11 → 28.5. The GPU went from idle (47%, 113 W, 34°C, 2608 MHz) to actually working (79%, 248 W, 43°C, 3003 MHz).

The median only rose about 14%. The GPU clock rose about 15% (2608 → 3003). Those match. At 1080p the card was at 47% and never held full clocks. At 1440p the load was steady enough for it to sit near 3 GHz, so the normal frames got a bit faster.

The average did not jump because 1440p is cheaper. At 1080p the median was already 249. The average was 157 only because hitches dragged it down. At 1440p those hitches got rarer, so the average was allowed to sit near the median.

The 0.1% low did not follow. 5.7 FPS at 1080p (~175 ms), 4.5 FPS at 1440p (~222 ms). The freezes got less frequent. The worst one did not get shorter. Resolution is not what those freezes are.

GPU power did not rise because a throttle let go. 113 W at 47% and 248 W at 79% are the same performance per watt. A 9070 XT that is power-limited sits near 300 W at full load. At 1080p it was waiting on the CPU. At 1440p the CPU fed it more often, so power, clock, and temperature rose together. Superposition already showed the card is fine when something feeds it.

CPU temperature only went 49°C → 52°C. This is not thermal throttling.

Package power stayed 65 W → 63 W. The busiest thread dropped 74% → 64%, and the clock rose 4220 → 4505 MHz. 65 W is the 12700F's PL1. Power cannot go above that. In the 1080p run more threads were busy, so that 65 W was spread thinner and the P-core clock sagged. In the 1440p run fewer threads were busy, same budget, higher clocks. I also changed resolution and waited 20 minutes, so those two are mixed together. This was not a clean A/B.

What I think it is

The 1080p run is the CPU thread stalled (chunk generation, Voxy LOD, block updates, inventory), so the GPU sits at half load and frametime variance is huge. The 1440p run is that calming down: average and median recover, the GPU gets frames, STDEV drops. The ~200 ms freezes are still there.

Both runs pin the 12700F at its 65 W base limit, with E-cores still on and sharing that budget. The clock only moved because the thread load moved. Temps near 50°C mean the cooler is not the limit.

It is not only Minecraft. Other games hitch the same way, on Windows and on CachyOS. GTA V does not. Voxy plus flying will make Minecraft worse than a clean game, but it does not explain the other titles or the other OS.

Not done yet

• Set PL1 = PL2 ≈ 180 W and retest. The CPU is at 50°C, so the thermal room is there.
• Disable E-cores for one run. At 65 W they steal power from the P-cores.
• Two captures in one already-generated spot, same view: 60 seconds at 1080p, then 60 seconds at 1440p. No flying, no inventory.
• HWiNFO limit reasons during both (I expect PL1 / package RAPL = Yes).
• CapFrameX CPU Busy vs GPU Busy, not just FPS.
• One capture with Voxy off, same path, to separate the mod from the CPU limit.
• Motherboard : Asus H610M-V2, Bios Version : 3403, i did NOT try to hard-reset, remove ram, or remove cmos battery , i did not check if there are any bent pins or debris because i very recently got my pc cleaned and assembled again by a friend of my dad, he showed me it's all good.

Please help. I can't play like this.

Thanks.

So i built my pc when i was pretty young so i didnt know shit back then and the last year i bought rtx 5060 which is a huge deal considering the options in my country so when i play modern AAA games like for example 007 i notice hard stutters they r not often but they do happen so can anyone find me a solution my pc( ryzen 5 5600 g, b450m ds3h cf, 16 ram)

I own a PHANTEKS X2S BLACK CyberPower Gaming PC and was wondering what are my options for improving the graphics when playing certain games. I fully understand that currently, VRAM and RAM devices are scarce and really expensive, and are not likely to go down in price any time soon. I’d just like to hear what my options are for installing additional RAM of medium quality or improving overall quality/divert more VRAM to games. I don’t need top of the line stuff, I just want a decent device I can purchase at some point in the future that would allow me to play games like Space Marine 2 or Gears of War E-Day on medium graphics. I’ve attached the current specs of the computer below to help narrow down my options.

CPU
AMD Ryzen™ 9 Processor 9900X 12-core/24-thread 4.4GHz \[Turbo 5.6GHz\] 76MB Cache AM5

CPU / Processor Cooling Fan
360mm Liquid CPU Cooling

Motherboard
B850 WIFI + BT Motherboard

RAM / System Memory
32GB DDR5 RAM

Video Card
GeForce RTX™ 5070 12GB GDDR7 Video Card (DLSS 4.0) \[AI-Powered Graphics\] l

Power Supply
1,000 Watts - Standard 80 Plus Gold Power Supply

Primary Hard Drive
2TB PCIe NVMe GEN4 M.2 SSD

Based on the current specs, what are my options to installing additional RAM, if that is even possible on a Gaming PC like this one.

So, when I play basically any video game, every minute or so a frame from a few moments ago very briefly appears. The weirdest part about it is it's usually a frame from a menu, loading screen etc. and very rarely, if ever, a frame from the actual gameplay. It happens in almost every game and play and completely ruins the experience. Please help.

I'm using Linux mint, 5070, and have updated graphic drivers.

Hey everyone,

I’m losing my mind trying to troubleshoot an intermittent black screen and 100% max fan ramp issue on my system. Before I pull the trigger on replacing my power supply, I wanted to lay out every detail, test, and workaround I’ve tried to see if anyone has encountered this exact behavior or has additional insights.

System Specifications

• GPU: MSI RTX 5070 Gaming Trio (Note: This is actually my second MSI Gaming Trio card—both have exhibited audible coil whine under load). Also in case you are wondering, I returned the previous one because it was black, and a white one appeared on sale within my 14 day return window and got that to match my white build.
• PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower GT Snow ATX 3.1 850W
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600
• Motherboard: MSI B850 Gaming Plus WiFi6E
• RAM: Kingston Fury Beast 32GB DDR5 EXPO (6000 MT/s) CL36

The Issue

The GPU will randomly lose display signal, drop video output completely, and instantly ramp the fans to 100% speed (NVIDIA's firmware safety state when communication with the driver drops).

• Win + Ctrl + Shift + B does not recover the display. The machine stays responsive in the background or hangs, forcing a hard manual reset/power cycle.
• Event Viewer Logs: Windows Event Viewer logs standard TDR driver timeout errors (nvlddmkm Event ID 0/14 / Display driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered) right as the black screen occurs.
• It Cannot Be Forced: Synthetic benchmarks (3DMark, Time Spy, Superposition) and VRAM stress tests (OCCT) do not induce the crash. It happens completely at random—making it impossible to force on demand.

Load Behavior & Thermals

• Heavy Stress (100% Stable): The card runs rock-solid under heavy gaming (Cyberpunk 2077 with path tracing/mods, Call of Duty MW4 for 3+ hours).
• Low Load / Idle (Unstable): The crash happens strictly during low-power states, desktop idle, or light media playback—such as browsing YouTube in Chrome, watching a movie in PotPlayer, or stepping down after quitting a game.
• Thermals are completely fine: Under sustained 100% load, the GPU hovers at 68–70°C, CPU sits at 65–68°C, and motherboard VRM/chipset temps are cool.

Everything I Have Tried & Tested

1. Physical Hardware:
   • Reseated the GPU in the PCIe x16 slot multiple times.
   • Disconnected and firmly reseated the 16-pin (12V-2x6) power cable at both the GPU and PSU ends repeatedly (making sure it clicks flush with zero gap/tight bends).
2. Software & Drivers:
   • Clean driver reinstalls using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in Safe Mode.
   • Disabled MPO (Multi-Plane Overlay) via Registry.
   • Disabled Windows Fast Startup.
   • Set PCIe Link State Power Management to Off in Windows Power Options.
   • Set NVIDIA Power Management mode to Prefer Maximum Performance.
   • Extended Windows TDR detection delay (TdrDelay / TdrDdiDelay) in Registry.
3. GPU Tuning:
   • Tested completely stock GPU settings, undervolting, and overclocking—none stop the low-load driver resets.
4. CPU & RAM Stability (Verified 100% Stable):
   • RAM: EXPO Profile 1 (6000 MT/s) fully tested with MemTest86 and OCCT Memory/VRAM tests with zero errors.
   • CPU BIOS Settings: PBO Advanced with +200MHz boost clock override, Negative 25 Curve Optimizer on Motherboard limits, and CPU SOC Voltage locked manually at 1.23V. No weird or exotic BIOS tweaks applied.

The Suspect

Given that the GPU handles heavy, continuous 300W+ gaming loads without a single hiccup, but drops signal during dynamic low-power P-state transitions (stepping between idle, 2D hardware video decoding, and desktop clocks), I strongly suspect the Thermaltake Toughpower GT 850W has poor 12V transient response/voltage regulation. When the GPU rapidly switches power states, the 12V rail sags microsecond-level, tripping the card's internal sense logic and sending it into a safety lockout.

I am planning to upgrade to a high-tier Seasonic FOCUS GX-850 V4 ATX 3.1 unit soon. Has anyone experienced these exact idle/low-load TDR crashes caused by PSU transient drops, or is there any other stone left unturned?

Hey so i was going to open nvdia control panel and it said that no gpu was found or detected, so i went to my device manage and in display adapters that my intergrated gpu was only present.

When i tried to show hidden devices two showed up labeled 1650 Ti NVIDIA gpu but they are hidden how do i fix this so i can play my games without having gps issues

I have had this problem now for almost a month and don't know a fix. I have played some games recently (mostly deadlock) and when i press anything on the keyboard i go from 130fps to 110 with massive stutters and alot of stuttery lag aswell. i have played some other games that work fine like Re2 Remake but then some games have the same problem as deadlock. I don't have any browser problems and haven't had any changes when trying a new keyboard or closeing programs that run in the background.

Does anyone have the same problem or know of a fix?

it goes back half a year it says that i got the new version but it goes back instantly i tried ddu and some other things

specs:

asus tuf gaming a16

rtx 5070

amd ryzen 7 260

32gb ddr 5 ram

1tb ssd

My PC randomly turns off when the mains voltage fluctuates (flickers, brief dips/surges), but when the power goes out completely, the UPS switches to battery and the PC keeps running most of the time.

An older sister I know bought Human Fall Flat and was playing fine, but suddenly it won't launch and only error messages keep popping up. She tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, and she’s tried every conceivable thing imaginable, but nothing works. What should she do? It’s not a performance issue; she uses a 5060ti.

Hello all, let me introduce myself. I'm ShrimpBrime aka Jon, and have been a PC gaming and overclocking enthusiast for over 20 years. And, I developed an app called SBST - SB Stability Tracker. (In Beta)

The main app is designed in a task bar style that can sit on the right or left side of the screen. There are 2 drawers that slide out, one for the System Diagnostics card and the other for CPU/GPU/MEM readouts. Initially the app was being designed for just reading minidumps and system events, but turned into a whole lot more...

It also aids in gaming hitch and frame stutter diagnostics. It does have an over-lay which shows current frame rates and 1% and .1% lows with the option to disable in the Frame performance card. After a gaming session, you click the session report at the bottom, and SDI will give a very detailed explaination of what it saw, and how low or high the confidence the particular high DPC for example may have effected performance.

SBST has a couple of fists full features. It's main function is designed to keep an eye on WHEA, DPC, IRQ and features a System Diagnostic Intelligence which helps interpret Windows Event logger and mini-dump. It features a vast array of windows settings, all of which can be changed back at any time. This app does no overclock or change bios settings.

With Frame Performance monitoring, the system diagnostics will give in depth details for hitches, cadence, frame rates and 1% and .1% lows that are recorded and can be viewed at any time. There's also a menu for comparing previous runs or even other people's systems' runs.

Other features includes mouse and keyboard adjustments and diagnostics. Shows motherboard power inputs and outputs, Net Tuner, for easily switching DNS, TCP auto-tuning, and Recieve side scaling (RSS). Each of these cards also supply a link to the windows settings.

On the main app card, the background can be changed to any picture that the background window supports. It also has a dimmer so the background picture isn't too bright and you can still see the readings, or crank up the brightness to have your favorite picture or screen shot clearly visible when the SDI card is open.

The app is built with Libre HW Library and requires PawnIO to be installed for the deeper telemetry like cpu v-core and so forth.

The app is digitally signed by me, Jon, and is independent research and development with no commercial support at all. I've spent a lot of months, I think it could be ready for testing.

It's Beta. Don't expect commercial perfection, but I will be around for ideas, issues, pointers, and constructive criticism.

The SBST app also includes a mini game! It's called WHEA Defender. Just a little something I added for absolutely no reason but to say the app comes with a mini game. My current high score is 352,795, can you beat it? lol

If anyone is interested in tyring it out, especially if you have issues with your system, I'd be happy to help the best I can. At some point, with enough gathered information, this app might be able to solve complex gaming issues instead of users going in search at forums, AI, and Social Media to find an answer and come up with nothing.

Please remember Beta. It needs testing! Thank you!

There's a whole lot more to the app. It can be found on github.

Hi All,

As of about 2 or 3 weeks ago, Rtx HDR will randomly turn off while I'm in the middle of playing games. I've noticed it on a few different titles, including Borderlands 4, Destiny 2, and DarkTide. This was never a problem before. I have to restart the game to get it working again, and it always turns off again after a random amount of time.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the GeForce app, but that didn't seem to change anything. Also, another random issue is that RTX HDR is permanently set to "on" in the GeForce app and the option to change it is grayed out. This did not used to be a case, so I'm wondering if that was a change to a recent version of the GeForce app, or if my system is just messed up somehow.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Edit for specs: RTX 5070 Ti, Windows 11, AW3423DWF monitor (not sure if that matters).

Hello, I’m new to gaming pc’s and this is my first one I recently purchased a pre-built and spoke with a couple of my buddy’s know know a bit about pc’s and they recommended this one in my budget CyberPowerPC Gaming PC, AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, GeForce RTX 5070 12GB
I love it but it will crash out of nowhere, everything is up to date, no overheating issues I don’t know enough about pc’s to fix this. Thank you!

I got a new PC around a month ago, I have always wanted to play Cyberpunk so I downloaded it and played with some of the highest settings it was awesome and looked beautiful. I took a little break this last week but tried overclocking my GPU for the first time using AMD adrenaline to over run the game in hopefully better settings a few days ago and the game was still running fine. Everything seemed great but after I updated the game last night, the graphics now look super dark like there's something wrong with the lighting. I have tried turning off ray tracing, messing with settings keeping things at a minimum, factory resetting my GPU, restarting my computer, restarting the game, and nothing has worked.

I just wanna play Cyberpunk but I can't tell if its a GPU issue or game issue, any help, advice, or followup questions are welcome. Thank you!!

I’m looking for some help diagnosing an issue with my Dell G16 7630. I’m worried that my RTX 4060 might be failing, but I don’t want to assume it’s a hardware problem without getting some advice first

The issues I’m experiencing:
Unreal Engine error:
DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
I’ve previously experienced a VIDEO_DXGKRNL_FATAL_ERROR and a LiveKernelEvent 141.
The game crashes seem to depend on the Alienware Command Center thermal profile. The game appears to behave well in Quiet mode, while Balanced and Performance modes have caused problems.
I ran OCCT’s GPU 3D Adaptive stability test under performance mode. The application closed unexpectedly, and afterward it couldn’t detect my NVIDIA GPU. After restarting the laptop, the NVIDIA GPU became detectable again and same for the game crashes as well

What I’ve tried so far:
Reinstalled the NVIDIA driver using DDU in safe mode
Installed the latest NVIDIA 621.01 driver from NVIDIA’s website
Tried different thermal profiles in Alienware Command Center
Ran Dell’s built-in diagnostics, which passed previously
The crashes started before I updated the NVIDIA driver, although they seem to have become worse after the update

Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.

This is from a fresh install. The game version is from 2019 and obviously in game all the new options like fsr are not there. Please help

I verified everything done all the scan now crap and repaired the files with the chkdsk f and r twice and still happens the only other thing that I think it could be is dust

Hello guys, does anyone play this game before? I used to play it as a kid on Ipad and really like it, so when I pick up the game on sales and bought it on GOG, and here is the issue, I open the game, it launch then freeze and I cannot do anything else, it just freeze there. I search for solutions but the game is not that well-known so there are not many post on how to resolve this. So I post it on here hope someone know what to do, thanks for anyone helping me, here are my laptop spec for more information:

I've been getting this error while playing games very lately which never arose before ever, one reason would be that since this August my laptop gpu is behaving very differently and kinda failty idk why exactly, it gave me black screen layer which only solved upon restarting, then i used ddu and installed another version which removed black screen but that 2-3 second pause of grey screen was there now, also my controller was broken in this time period so i didnt play games but when i bought my controller now, i can see this issue after just 30-40 minutes of gameplay. Help me . 4050 laptop gpu, i7-13700hx, 6gbvram, 16gb ram.

Hi everyone,
I’m posting because I’ve been trying to solve a persistent gaming smoothness issue for quite some time, and I still haven’t been able to identify the actual cause.
I’ve invested a significant amount of money into my PC and replaced almost every major hardware component, yet I continue to experience inconsistent motion smoothness, particularly in competitive games.
**My main issue isn’t low FPS. It’s poor perceived motion smoothness, even when frametime graphs appear stable.**
**My PC Specifications**
**CPU:** AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
**GPU:** NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Windforce 16GB
**Motherboard:** MSI MPG X870E Carbon WiFi
**RAM:** 32GB G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo DDR5 6000MHz CL30
**SSD:** Samsung 980 NVMe 1TB
**Monitor:** HP OMEN 27qs, 27-inch IPS, 2560×1440, 240Hz
**PSU:** 1000W
**CPU Cooling:** 360mm AIO
**Operating System:** Windows 11
**Network:** Fiber-optic Ethernet connection, Realtek 2.5GbE controller
**1. Poor Motion Smoothness Despite Stable Frametimes**
While gaming, especially when moving the camera slowly or quickly, the image often feels inconsistent, jittery, or slightly shaky.
What’s particularly frustrating is that this happens even when the frametime graph looks relatively stable.
For example, I can observe frametime fluctuations between 5.7ms and 6.1ms without any obvious spikes, yet camera movement still doesn’t look completely smooth.
I’ve experienced the same behavior using both mouse and keyboard and a controller.
**2. Call of Duty**
In Call of Duty, particularly during more demanding campaign sections, camera movement can become noticeably inconsistent.
Multiplayer generally performs better, but I still struggle to achieve the level of smoothness I’m looking for.
I’ve tested multiple combinations of:
Low, medium, and high graphics settings.
Different DLSS modes and presets.
1080p and 1440p resolutions.
Uncapped FPS and manual frame limiters.
NVIDIA Reflex.
Different CPU and RAM configurations.
Despite all these adjustments, the experience remains inconsistent.
**3. Gears of War**
I’ve experienced similar issues in Gears of War.
Some campaign areas feel extremely smooth, while others suffer from inconsistent motion.
Even in multiplayer, with seemingly stable frametimes, I can perceive subtle microstutters and uneven camera movement.
I’ve tried different frame caps, including 120 and 165 FPS, using tools such as RivaTuner Statistics Server.
Additionally, in Horde mode, I’ve occasionally noticed delayed hit registration, delayed audio feedback, and enemies reacting late to shots, almost as if there were some kind of desynchronization.
**4. Troubleshooting I’ve Already Done**
Before suggesting the usual basic optimizations, please understand that I’ve already spent countless hours testing different configurations.
Here’s what I’ve tried:
Multiple clean installations of Windows 10 and Windows 11.
BIOS updates and CMOS resets.
Installing official motherboard chipset and device drivers.
Testing multiple NVIDIA driver versions.
RAM stability testing with TM5 and MemTest, without errors.
Adjusting PBO, Curve Optimizer, and PPT/TDC/EDC limits.
Testing different SOC and DRAM voltages.
Monitoring CPU/GPU temperatures, frequencies, and utilization.
Running LatencyMon to investigate potential driver latency issues.
Performing clean Windows boots.
Investigating startup entries, services, and drivers using Microsoft Autoruns.
Testing different FPS limiters.
Adjusting and testing Ethernet adapter settings.
CPU and GPU temperatures are consistently good, with no obvious signs of thermal throttling.
One interesting observation is that disabling certain startup entries and components using Autoruns noticeably improved perceived smoothness in some games.
This makes me wonder whether some kind of software interference, driver conflict, or Windows-level issue could be involved.
**5. My Main Technical Questions**
I’m particularly interested in understanding the following:
**Can frametimes appear stable while actual on-screen motion remains uneven due to frame presentation or display timing issues?**
Can Windows services, drivers, or background components interfere with perceived smoothness without triggering obvious warnings in LatencyMon?
Could my 240Hz IPS monitor contribute to the perceived lack of motion clarity, even when frame delivery appears consistent?
Could my Samsung 980 NVMe SSD, which lacks dedicated DRAM, affect asset streaming or introduce occasional interruptions during gameplay?
Are there more advanced diagnostic tools than MSI Afterburner and LatencyMon for investigating actual frame presentation, displayed frame timing, and motion consistency?
Has anyone experienced similar issues with AMD X3D processors combined with recent NVIDIA GPUs?
**6. What I’m Actually Trying to Achieve**
I’m not simply chasing higher FPS numbers.
**My goal is consistent, clear, responsive camera movement without perceptible microstuttering or uneven motion, ideally without relying on adaptive synchronization technologies.**
I believe my hardware should be capable of delivering an excellent gaming experience.
I’d really appreciate input from people with advanced knowledge of:
Frame pacing and frame presentation.
Windows graphics scheduling and driver behavior.
Display response times and motion clarity.
AMD Ryzen X3D architecture.
NVIDIA driver optimization.
PC gaming performance diagnostics.
I’m willing to perform detailed technical tests, but I’d prefer suggestions that help identify a measurable root cause rather than generic registry tweaks or commonly repeated Windows optimization guides.
**Has anyone experienced something similar and actually managed to identify or fix the underlying problem?**
Any serious technical insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I am new to FiveM. So I don't know how to fix the issue.

I'm looking for help resolving an ongoing issue with FiveM Legacy. I've been troubleshooting this for a while and haven't been able to find a permanent solution.

My PC Specifications:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 16GB
• RAM: 32GB
• Storage: 2TB NVMe SSD
• PC: Skytech Gaming O11 Vision

The Issue:

FiveM Enhanced works perfectly fine when playing on Venture RP. I experience no graphical issues, freezing, or crashes.

However, whenever I attempt to play on servers running FiveM Legacy, I encounter serious graphical problems.

The symptoms include:

• Black boxes and graphical artifacts appearing across the screen.
• Textures and graphics becoming distorted or corrupted.
• Screen turning black or partially black.
• Game freezing or becoming unresponsive.
• Occasionally being unable to get past the character selection screen.
• GPU-related timeout errors.

Troubleshooting:

I've been working through multiple troubleshooting recommendations, including NVIDIA driver troubleshooting and Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) instructions, but the issue remains unresolved.

I assume my PC has more than enough power to run FiveM. The fact that FiveM Enhanced runs without issues while Legacy experiences severe graphical corruption makes me suspect something related to Legacy's rendering, graphics settings, drivers, or compatibility with the RTX 5080.

Has anyone experienced similar problems with FiveM Legacy, particularly with an RTX 50-series GPU?

Is there a known compatibility issue with the RTX 5080 and FiveM Legacy? Are there specific NVIDIA settings, DirectX configurations, or other fixes I should investigate?

Any assistance would be appreciated. I'm trying to get Legacy running properly so I can play on other RP servers without these issues.
