An unusual blurring of certain surfaces began to occur.
I haven’t played video games for a while, yet today I checked how much RAM different titles require when other programs are running. I noticed some images looked blurry or low quality. After restarting my PC, the issue persisted. For instance, in Diablo Immortal, ghostly figures appeared pixelated. I didn’t adjust GPU settings, and Adrenalin reported the performance is now only average. Radeon Super Resolution was turned off, and I’m unsure how to reactivate it. In Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodhunt, my Nosferatu’s hair looked pixelated too. I don’t recall making any changes except using an overlay, which doesn’t explain the problem. I attempted a factory reset in Adrenalin, but it didn’t help. I enabled virtual super resolution, which differs from Radeon Super Resolution, as suggested by Adrenalin since my monitor uses a DPI converter. I also tried turning on GPU & Integer scaling and following the steps. It asked to lower my resolution to match my monitor’s native settings, but Vampire wouldn’t let me adjust it. A pop-up mentioned RSR was off, yet it didn’t work. I was advised to use FSR if available, so I turned it on with various quality levels. The improvement was minimal and far from what it used to be. The only clue is that a month ago I removed and reinserted the graphics card, which might have affected performance. Could you share my system specifications? Thanks!
For newcomers unfamiliar with Bloodhunt, Saboteur appears bald with sharp ears. This isn't what we or the original creators expect. Start with the standard steps, reinstall GPU drivers carefully (Adrenalin doesn’t always remove them neatly without DDU), and lower the memory speed. I’ve faced a similar problem on my 460, which aids in identifying the issue.
To reinstall GPU drivers, follow your manufacturer’s instructions carefully. For downclocking memory, identify whether you’re adjusting RAM or VRAM and use the appropriate tool. Decide which type of memory you want to change and ensure you have the correct specifications before proceeding.
Start by getting the newest driver installer for your system. AMD usually uploads their own GPU drivers online rather than relying on the standard adapter driver from Microsoft. Next, obtain the Display Driver Uninstaller tool. Disconnect your computer from any network connection to prevent automatic downloads. Launch DDU, which will likely ask you to boot into Safe Mode—do this if prompted. Follow the instructions and select 'Clean' then restart. DDU will remove the GPU drivers cleanly and restart the GPU. Afterward, install the driver as you normally would during initial setup. Adjust the GPU memory settings, especially lowering the VRAM clock speed if needed. This can be done through the Adrenalin Control panel, though it hasn’t been used in a while. It often helps as a troubleshooting step.
It's taking a while because of several tasks I needed to complete. I had to eat, rest (I was very tired when I replied), refresh the operating system multiple times, fix some hardware issues, and then discover how to enter Safe Mode—something I haven't used in more than ten years. Once finished, I'll let you know.
I've finished, though I'm not sure how to lower the VRAM clock speed. Earlier I could enable the resizable BAR, but it's now turned off. Also, after enabling Radeon Super Resolution and loading Vampire, it shut down on its own. No changes to the hair. Please let me know what to do.
