Issues with artifacts, bad loads, and glitched textures in games
Issues with artifacts, bad loads, and glitched textures in games
would it be reasonable to purchase a low-cost 3100x just to test? i haven't cleaned the gpus yet, but i plan to clean the slot next.
If cleaning the slot and gpu connectors doesn't resolve the issue, trying a different cpu might be worth considering. If that doesn't help either, it could point to a problem with your motherboard. This raises the idea of upgrading to a new platform, though.
found a small brush and gently cleaned the pcie slot problems still present. i think the issue might be with the cpu that has been overclocked for years. honestly, i was planning a platform upgrade anyway, which is why i bought the new psu. would it make sense to upgrade to am5? would it be acceptable to sell the motherboard and cpu as working if they're in good condition, or should i mark them defective just to be safe?
AM5 is a robust platform. If you're not keen on further troubleshooting, you might want to consider switching. You should also expect a performance improvement based on the CPU you choose. Regarding your existing components, I’d like to verify whether the problem lies with the CPU or the motherboard. If you decide to sell it, I recommend including a note about this issue in the listing. How would you feel if you purchased something only to find out about this problem?
before you run out of new hardware, try these steps.
limit your framerate to match your monitors' refresh rate; you might be running faster than intended.
if your monitor supports it, cap it to the refresh rate (e.g., 60).
check your monitor specifications.
adjust the settings to match what you're using.
Hp x27q 1440p 165hz
Spiderman remastered with all settings at maximum. Tried adjusting it using Riva Tuner to 165 and 60, but same outcome.
In RDR2 I maxed everything except tree tesselation.
Adjusting game settings didn't improve the issue.
Seems like a hardware problem—no software fixes worked much.
Appreciate all the help.
