My Display is Grainy/Compressed, now I know what most will say gpu etc, however, it is not. Bought all parts from a supplier and changed everything apart from the cpu . MSI B550 tomahawk mobo Ryzen 75800X 32gb Ram 4000mhz Nvidia 3090TI Gigabyte 1000w Psu 1Tb Samsung ssd LG 1440P 850 Monitor I have exchanged all the above parts apart from the cpu as the supplier's techintian could not make out the issue. Before the TI I had a 6700XT and it was the same issue. I am suspecting that it is a cpu problem. However I have stressed out the CPU and results are fine. If I take a screenshot and view it on my Laptop its crystal clear. I have done all the troubleshooting possible, installed fresh clean windows, Icc profiles etc. Did all the monitor settings and nothing changes. Games look horrible, for example clouds look grainy and pixelated, if I look into the distance on an Apex map it looks kind of distorted like there is some fort of grain/ compression. If I switch the Hdr on its even worse it lloks like blocks on the monitor. If I plug the laptop to the monitor its crystal clear. Dunno what to do anymore.
You might be using Intel drivers or safe mode. The drivers you’re running will appear in the Device Manager. If you installed new drivers and the system didn’t update automatically, they could be damaged. A tool named DDU can completely clear driver files without a full reinstall (which can be tricky), allowing you to reload them. It’s recommended to use it in safe mode. Download it, install the zipped file, verify it works, then note its location or save a link to the desktop. Create a backup before proceeding. Updated October 28, 2022 by Bombastinator
The issue stems from a lack of concentration. It appears to be an optical effect. Lower your f-stop or the camera is trying to mimic photography by adding simulated lens flare or shutter reflections. I especially appreciate those white dots in anime eyes to replicate studio lighting—they’re not always precise and can seem random.
I actually discovered the issue today. I purchased this system from a parts supplier, and part of the warranty states they assembled it themselves. I never took out the CPU, but a technician from my workplace told me the CPU likely wasn’t providing enough data for the system to function correctly. He mentioned he’d seen similar problems before—like incorrect ICC profiles or faulty CPUs. I removed the CPU, but it didn’t seat properly; only about 75% was seated, with around 15 bent pins. I’m planning to return to the supplier next Monday, hoping they won’t blame me since I never actually removed it. They seem familiar with my repeated contacts.
It was quite an unusual situation. I wouldn’t have taken the chance unless it seemed safe, but with that many issues?! It reminds me of a WWII fighter plane landing with over a thousand bullet holes—it looked terrible, but I didn’t think it would happen here. Maybe it could… Just wow! Getting those pins right was a big deal. I used a very thin sewing needle and a jeweler’s loupe. There could have been some soldering or new pins involved. Metal fatigue is real; you might break them trying to fix them. Edited October 29, 2022 by Bombastinator
I'm bringing it back, but I only had issues because of this build. I spent a lot of money on it too, and it was a long back-and-forth process. Their technician is not great—he should have known better, especially since he replaced two boards. I was surprised how well it handled Ryzen chips, running smoothly with overclocks and hitting 5GHz. The only downside was the 720p quality and some artifacts.
