Hello, this situation is quite challenging to explain. Please review the images you shared; generally, text and certain assets appear distorted while changing dynamically—shifting from fully clear to blurry to somewhere in between within seconds. In the provided pictures, mostly the NZXT CAM version shows some elements normal but others severely affected. When scrolling, it seems to reset the "fuzziness" briefly, though I’m unsure what that entails. This issue appears only with NZXT's CAM and Figma for desktop. I’ve tested drivers and adjusted scaling settings, but nothing resolved it. One thing to keep in mind is that when capturing screenshots, I used the snip tool shortcut (CRTL+SHIFT+S) since clicking "new" would restore the program’s appearance. My setup includes a 2K monitor as the main display and a secondary 1080p monitor at 144Hz. This isn’t a display panel problem because I can still take screenshots of the issue. Appreciate any advice from others! Your specs are: Intel i7 8700 @3.20GHz, ROG Strix Z370-F MOBO 32GB G.Skill Trident RAM (4 sticks @3200MHz), ROG Strix GTX 1080ti GPU (850W), ROG THOR PSU.

It's possible the quality shifts depending on how you open the app or tab.

Occasionally this occurs when you adjust resolutions or move apps started on one monitor to another with a varying resolution, particularly if their aspect ratios differ.

I notice two issues here. First, the CPU includes integrated graphics, which typically don’t perform well with high-quality video rendering, particularly live streams—even with an i7-2600. Second, the CPU’s RAM speed is listed as 2666 MHz, while you’re using 3200 MHz, which may be causing performance problems. You might want to turn off XMP settings and let the RAM operate at its rated speed of 2666 MHz, or switch to a dedicated GPU if needed. i7-8700 details – Intel

It seems unusual for just these two programs to behave this way, occurring repeatedly right after launch.

It seems this might be the root cause, thank you for sharing. I’ll give it a shot; if it fails, I’ll accept it for now, as long as it stays within those two programs.

It seems you were referring to a 1080ti model, though the RAM problem remains a concern. If the issue persists, inspecting the thermal readings on the card could help—high temps might indicate a need for new paste and pads. @ZILY Added: Recording any device wasn’t a complete waste, but it sometimes caused glitches.
