I'm having trouble accessing Reddit, but I need to know if your GPU is functioning properly.
I'm having trouble accessing Reddit, but I need to know if your GPU is functioning properly.
So far I've experienced some crashes and freezes, but nothing severe. The diagnosis looks pretty serious, right? Important parts: MSI B550 Gaming Plus (latest BIOS for first-gen Ryzen), Ryzen 1700x 32gb Corsair Vengeance RGB Gigabyte rx5700 gaming OC, Elgato HD60 internal capture card. Everything else is running normally, except possibly the RAM—though I suspect I might have turned off XMP to be cautious. It's been a while. As you can see, I was attempting to play WoW, but once I reached a place full of fire, my GPU suddenly said "hey, great idea!" and everything went haywire. Full glitch city. It felt like Missingn0 and Diaboromon threw a party and invited my PC. Just missing textures and shadows flickering everywhere, audio skipping, lights flashing like the most cursed rave you've ever seen. (I have video but the forums thought my 15-second clip was too big, so I won’t go into detail). Background: I think I might be cursed. This is my second GPU so far; my Vega 56 also froze and crashed games before. I play at 1440/144, switching between WoW, Warframe, Cyberpunk, and Minecraft. (Interestingly, WoW and Minecraft are the ones causing the most trouble. I can run Cyberpunk on medium/high settings, and Warframe on full power, but that game is optimized well.) The only components I haven’t changed since building this machine are the CPU, the NZXT RGB fan housing, and my boot drive. Not sure what else might matter.
These are clear indicators that the graphics card is beginning to fail.
Wow, adjusting to the forums is taking some time. Thanks for your support!
