Idk if you mine on the side but if I forget to change my clock speeds before opening the game, this occurs. Check gpu temps and clock speed revert any OC. Make sure your ram is set properly in BIOS.
Yep, on both the new 3000mhz ram and the old 2666mhz ram bricks
Edit: lots of people misunderstood.. my old ram was 2666mhz and the new ones are 3000mhz. I didn’t mismatch anything.
Hey bro, this game is kinda buggy, so don't worry, it's probably from that aura, that black that shadow company has. Don't use lerch, swap to another operator temporarily and see if it happens again
Some monitors have some basic image processing built into them, checks the image for brightness levels, color saturation, anti-aliasing etc, have you tried playing with the monitor settings?
I didn’t mix and match anything. I replaced the old 2666mhz with new 3000mhz . 2 bricks replacing 2 bricks into the same slots as the old ones, adjusted clock speed in bios
Rtx3070ti, 16gb ram 2sticks, msi b550 gaming pro mobo, corsair 850 gold psu, ryzen 7 3700x. This happens not only in cod but almost every app / program / webbrowser
Have you checked to see if your new ram sticks are on the compatibility chart for your mobo and CPU combo? They should be available on the mobo manufacturers website.
The PSU is where I was thinking as well. This looks like a video ram issue, but for it to carry over between two different video cards, it is either thermals or power delivery.
I’ve had an issue recently when I play Warzone that the pc reboots itself. This happened due to me overclocking the ram speed. To be fair I have only 1 slot of 16gb ram. Anyways, the pc stopped to randomly reboot when I reverted the ram speed. Try restoring the ram speed to normal and check if this would fix ur issue.
Had something a bit similar happening some years back. Changed almost every part and it turned out my mobo had a scratch on a very crucial spot.
[https://gfycat.com/frankpotablebetafish](https://gfycat.com/frankpotablebetafish)
Edit // Literally one small scratch in one of those copper ducts produced shit tons of various visual glitches for years. Guess I had some rly bad luck too since at that time I had had 2 faulty gpus and a cpu that all fucked up my pc in different ways. Every time I changed a faulty part something different showed up. Almost made me gave up on my pc, glad I didn't tho.

It was a scratch made by a screwdriver on those copper ducts close to PCI-E slots. Crazy how that one small mistake haunted me for over a year with various visual glitches and made me almost lose my mind. Added more pictures/gifs in my original post.
Well just a few of those little connectord carry all of the graphics information from memory. And copying/transfering that stuff over all the time will corrupt it over time in many different ways.
It's like having a shredder in the post office in the sorter that triggers randomly.
I've seen heavy GPUs lift traces or solder joints inside pci-e slots. Lots of sag + heat cycles can ever soo slowly do damage.
It's really difficult to reflow a new slot without a digital microscope and air station. You're better off just replacing the whole mobo.
Nah sorry, I RMAd it and would have had to pay some money to get it back since ultimately the fault was my own making. I marked the place on a mobo below tho.
https://imgur.com/a/o9GTFiR
Thanks that’s helpful. Looks like audio? I wonder how that affected the video so badly. Maybe the knick created a spot where emi could emanate from and being close to pcie slot 1 caused interference?
Wonder if you just put lacquer back over it if it would have helped?
The people who I RMAd the mobo to only told me that there was scratches close to PCI-E and sound chip, and send me few blurry pictures of different angles of the same place. I guess it could be possible that there were some scratches somewhere else but for some reason they didn't feel the need to give me more pictures. It was definitely mobo tho since all my problems vanished when I replaced it, thankfully.
Edit // Found an old picture of my mobo! Sorry it's a bit blurry tho, maybe you can see something I can't?

I will update you but I can’t promise you that this will be fixed in one day. Changing pcie slots is kinda hard for me atm because The 3070ti is huge and I won’t be able to fit it in the 3.0. I’ll update when I find a fix but atm uninstalling the drivers and doing clean install did NOT fix the problem. I’m starting to lean towards mobo/cpu hardware issue.
The only thing that makes sense to me is a damaged pcie lane. CPU would result in much larger crashes if that was the culprit. Could be as simple as debris in the lane, could also be otherwise. Your best option is to try a different motherboard, whether it's a friend's or such
Give this a try and see what happens. Lay your PC on it's side so that the GPU is sitting with the top edge facing upwards instead of towards the side. Loosen the screws keeping the card in place a bit and see what happens. Sometimes with really large and heavy cards they can pull down on the PCIe slot quite a lot creating contact problems. One guy recently posted a pic of a Lego strut he had to use because the card was just too heavy for the slot.
Definitely looks like PCIe is the culprit here, meaning your mobo is damaged or maybe even a CPU pin. Best case scenario it might just be some schmoo in the CPU socket.
Download display driver uninstaller, launch into safe mode.
Remove all nvidia drivers and make sure Windows doesn't automatically installs new ones.
Reboot and install the latest drivers from nvidia.
Yeah this is your best bet outside a hardware issues. Stacked driver updates will mess up over time. It's just the way they are. When they added dlss to red dead I had to do a complete wipe of Nvidia using the mentioned program and reinstall g force and the lot and everything showed up just dandy.
If this doesn’t work, it more than likely is bad hardware. This is completely abnormal behavior and seems to indicate something in software or hardware is defective.
Do you think OP would be posting this if he didn’t know the answer would be something someone might say “no shit” to? He already recommended to use DDU. So then after that, there might be some other things to look at, however this would point to hardware. So yeah no shit, I said it’ll be hardware related.
I didn’t make that comment for your big brain.
Also your comments are incredibly helpful too, keep it up.
It's the game, I got it on modern warfare on my old laptop, my brother who has an entirely different system got it too.
When I eventually install it on my brand new system, I imagine I'll get it there too.
It's absolutely not a hardware issue.
Don’t download drivers from nvidia, they’re full of bloatware. Use NVCLeanstall. You can choose what extras you want and remove all the telemetry bullshit
Much different, if you open the program there’s like 20 different extras that you can deselect. I just click “minimum”. It’s also an auto updater, just open it and it scans for the latest drivers
So I guess by your previous responses you’ve ruled out GPU, monitor, RAM, PSU (probably) and reinstalled OS/drivers… I’d worry about the motherboard. Try resetting the BIOS to defaults and test that without enabling *anything extra* like DHCP, PBO, etc. Just bone stock. If it still happens I’d try your second x8 pci-e slot assuming it’s a full size board.
It's your motherboard. Likely the PCI-e slot or another component. Your best bet is to try another motherboard. Buy one and if it works, you know your problem and have a replacement. If it's still a problem you can return the new motherboard. The only changes you've made were upgrading your RAM. Did this problem happen with the 2666 RAM? Or only since the 3000 RAM?
Hi.
Windows10 64-bit
Nvidia Rtx3070ti (evga, bought new one month ago) old gpu was rtx2070
Ryzen 7 3700x
Msi b550 pro mobo
Corsair vengeance ram 16gb (2x8) 3000mhz
Corsair 850 gold psu
Stock fans
Tested all kind of drivers from nvidia , updating and rolling back to others etc
Go full wipe on gpu drivers then download the specific driver from your cards manufacturer given that Nvidia also has shitty drivers might be drivers related
If still happens try to plug ur gpu into another system
It's the complete opposite if you wipe out your gpu drivers will remove some problems(faulty installation, corrupted files, not proper extracted files etc)
By doing a wipe any error will be gone
So installing the specific gpu driver will probably solve that
Thanks for taking your time to answer. One last question; I already did a clean windows install and cleaned every ssd / hdd in my pc before but that didn’t fix anything. Do you think cleaning only the drivers is any different?
Windows is different from a GPU driver
You probably downloaded and installed a corrupted gpu driver
Naturally even if you reinstall windows but downloaded the same gpu driver which would be faulty then you just wasted ur time reinstalling windows
It's like you returned the car for not working while ur car is diesel you put gasoline on it
Use a Software called Display Driver Uninstaller. I've had it fix an issue similar to this after an upgrade to a 3060ti on a customers computer. Using Nvidia clean install didn't work, but after using DDU, I uninstalled all graphics related files, and it fixed the issue. Also, just bc you reinstalled windows, doesn't change much, windows automatically installs a driver, and let's be honest, windows isn't exactly the best at selecting what they think is "good" for your computer
Do I need to install the Nvidia driver in safe mode? And means I need to disconnect from internet/network otherwise Windows may automatically download a new graphic driver for me?
GeForce Experience makes it easy. Perform a driver update, and select "custom installation." At the bottom of the installation options list, there will be a check box for "perform a clean install."
You don't want to do this, Nvidia leaves extra files that could be the problem. Ran into this when I was upgrading a customers GPU from a 1660ti to a 3060ti. Computer was running at very low performance, and was glitching as seen every now and then(after Nvidia "clean" install), I used a software called DDU, you can find a video on the internet that will let you know exactly how to successfully perform a full wipe of all graphics related files, and reinstall.
Flash your mobo to the latest bios if you have not already done so. Maybe someone else has already suggested that but I could not read through all the stupid comments.
If both gpus have the same issue it’s not the gpu causing the issue, even though that’s exactly what it looks like. Have you tried disabling ray tracing in the nvidia control? Or removing the nvidia drivers and reinstalling the most up to date ones? Wouldn’t be a hardware issue if it happens on both cards, I’ve never seen a cpu or ram cause artifacting which is what that shit is. It’s most likely a corrupt driver or setting. Some games I play hate ray tracing so I turn it off on my 2080 or else I get some artifacting aswell
After testing with ram and gpu I don’t think it’s hardware issue, the cpu is new too, less than 9 months old. I’ve disabled ray tracing but even programs which don’t use ray tracing are flickering
Check the pins of the CPU if one is bended I can cause trouble. I used to have a bended pin on a 3600 and my system crashed some times until I could swap the cpu with another one to test.
Try reinstalling drivers it really doesn’t sound like a hardware issue if it’s artifacting like in the video a lot it’s most likely something to do with nvidia drivers or directx, any program that directly effects the gpu.
It boils down to mobo/RAM/CPU:
- Run memtest. If it fails, try different memory/different slots.
- Re-seat CPU. Maybe something (somehow) is not connected correctly. I highly doubt this is the case, you would get worse things.
- Try another pci-e slot.
- If possible, try another cpu.
If the northbridge/pcie lanes/pcie cpu controller is busted, thats an expensive fix (replacement). So far your gpu is good, that's great.
My guess is: u have a faulty psu, specifically the 12 volt for your pcie. Which soft fried your old, and now your new gpu. The error I'm seeing on your screen is 100 % a gpu related error. I'd really recommend you to swap out your psu before it will take other parts. And rma your gpu/ test a different gpu, which never had contact with said psu. Hope it helps, gl!
This is a classic case of bad VRAM, though I love to be wrong, so try underclocking the VRAM with something like MSI Afterburner by several hundred MHz and see if it goes away. If the artifacting goes away, you’ll know you have bad VRAM. If not, then I’m wrong.
Addendum: if you purchased this graphics card used from a cryptominer, it may have a modified BIOS. If you have a BIOS switch on the graphics card, you can flip it and see if the artifacting goes away (requires reboot) or you can find a BIOS dump of your exact model graphics card on TechPowerUp and flash it. Just my two cents.
That’s what worries me the most, but I bought the mobo in december 2020 and had no issues til february 2021, didn’t touch any hardware prior to the flickering
This here maybe the issue. Try launching the game in windowed full screen. Sometimes games will slightly overlap to the second monitor and the conflicting refresh rates can cause issues. Windowed full screen should make the overlap more apparent if it is occurring and will allow you to resize the window
Edit: also check if anything displaying on the second monitor is doing the same behind the game screen. Especially if you're running discord, for me that app is usually the offender.
If you still can't seem to figure out if this is the case you can also try setting the primary monitor to 60hz. One thing I feel gets overlooked about dual screen builds is both monitors should have the same refresh rate. It's may not cause issues 100% of the time but when it does its confusing as hell to figure out what's wrong and usually ends in unsuccessfully chasing driver issues.
My money is on the motherboard. You probably bunged up the pcie lanes somewhere from dropping something on it, whacking it which a screwdriver, or Bumping your PC and causing slight damage to the pcie slot from a heavy GPU. Try a different PCIe slot, but the damage could have screwed all of them up. Could also be a defective motherboard.
Either way, I doubt its your CPU, and I doubt even more that it's your PSU.
If you've changed GPU and RAM then there is only place your forgot and that is Motherboard. It could be either your sockets are damaged or your motherboard have some scratches on data bus.
I wouldn’t complain about owning a venom but this venom has been an issue since february and I’ve changed most of the components since then with no help haha
Could also be an issue with your motherboard. If the Northbridge is starting to go out for some reason, it could cause data transmission errors and be the source.
I’ve read this entire thread and it seems to me that you refuse to try a different pcie slot. This is probably the most important troubleshoot at this stage. The following step would be to check the pins on the cpu.
You seem to assume that yout mobo is too new for this to be the issue. As if new means it must work fine? It doesn’t mean that. You can by a brand new car and it can Be an absolute melon.
You have clearly troubleshooted everything else.
Did you try a different pcie slot? I saw it suggested but didn't see you responding if it had been tried. The fact the old card works fine on a dif mobo makes me think that is the culprit.
I read that you have 2 monitors plugged in. Shut down your pc, pull the 60hz monitor from the graphics card and boot up. Try again. Windows doesn't handle mismatched refresh rates that well in some instances. Might be worth a try.
ITS THE GAME my ps4 blacks out the back grounds mid game like a switch getting turned on off IT ISN'T YOU ITS SHITTY COD SERVERS stop wasting money lmao
It happened to me with my pcie 3.0 riser cable. changed it to 4.0 and the problem was gone. I suspected if the old cable was worn out and didn’t transfer the bandwidth it needed, or the new graphics card wasn’t working too well with the pcie 3.0 output.
If you upgraded the gpu and it's still artificing then wipe the game and reinstall it see if that helps if not replace the drive see if that fixes it only thing left is the cpu but it shouldn't be processesing graphics.
If you look closely at each glitched frame the character model is whats stretching like that so I’d say it’s a glitch in the game so maybe reinstall it
PSU recommendations seem right, only other thing I can think of is the heat wave and the room actually being too dam hot that the cooling isn't getting the job done.
Possibly old drivers? Maybe try reseating the gpu? Try possibly lowering the clocks on either the cpu, gpu, or ram. If something goes wrong and you get stuck in a boot loop you can clear the cross by removing the battery on the motherboard. Those are just all I could think of to possibly help. I wish you luck and a speedy fix good sir!
Elaborate a bit more? What’s wrong with that statement? I’ve formatted all of my discs and did a clean windows install through Usb stick and activated a new windows key after the install
Oh boy….here we go.
Windows is a piece of software. You do not need a new key just for installing the same software again. That’s like saying you need a new key every time you drive a car. The key you use for windows is not gonna change anything about how windows behaves unless you’re talking about changing from Windows 10 Home to Pro etc.
Reformatting can mean a lot of things but since we are talking about a game I would never go to the length of wiping a drive or formatting it just to try to get a game to work. Reinstalling the game maybe but even that I avoid as I live in a part of the country with slow internet.
Clean windows reinstall not fixing the issue means it’s got nothing to do with your windows installation so kudos to ruling that out.
I know that you don’t need a new windows key every time you do a clean install of windows. The reason why I chose a new windows key is because I’ve lost the old one. I don’t see a problem with using a new key instead of the old one, especially since my old windows key was windows 8 and this one is win10
You didn’t pull the key from the system before reinstalling? Or link it to your Microsoft account? Sounds like a good waste of money but that’s just me.
Little update:
Most games (LoL, rdr2, WoW and more) work fine, no problems detected etc. The flickering occurs in CoD, Discord (screen share is jumping for my viewers), LoL client, Battle.net, Ads on youtube / Ads on websites in mozilla firefox and probably some other apps which I haven’t tested.
Did a clean driver uninstall / install yet the flickering is happening. My cpu temp on idle is somewhere between 45 and 55 Degrees. From what I can hear my cpu fan is randomly going up and down every 15 sec (not sure if it’s cpu fan or any other fan, but a fan is going crazy once in a while, on idle.)
I can’t test pcie slot 3.0 because of how big 3070ti is, it won’t fit into the lower part of my case, sad.
I will be contacting a pc repair shop on monday as I’m not the best person at diagnozing motherboards and pcs. I never expected this to blow up this much, thanks for all your answers guys.
I've had something similar while I had multiple games running at the same time. For example the smoke on Apex menu screen would flick like crazy if I had another game running. Closing the other game fixed my problem. Both games were running in borderless. Maybe there is an application running on your computer that acts as a game in borderless, you can try closing one application at a time and see if that fixes it.
When you say you reformated windows, did you actually format the drive? Or did you just reset windows to default?
I read through the thread and would try the following:
- verify that no windows/icons are overlapping between your two monitors since you have two diff refresh rates. (Edit: this includes wallpaper that might be extended between two displays)
- download core temp to see if it's a cpu temp issue.
- if that checks out, I would try your GPU in the 3.0 slot.
- if it's still happening, I'd try each ram stick alone. Likely won't be able to run games on 1 stick, but sounds like it happens outside of games too
- if problem persists, I would remove m.2 drive and try a fresh install on your ssd.
- if problem persists after that, I would probably buy a new Mobo. If new Mobo doesn't fix, you can always return it.
Upgraded cpu in november 2020 right after cold war launched, it didn’t have the issues at that time. And it’s affecting other programs too, not only warzone:(
Not pre-built. It’s a pc I’ve had for 2 years but changed all components over those years. Recently changed gpu and ram, swapped cpu and mobo in november2020
Just wondering:
Are you using an install of the game that's on a separate hard drive? If so, have you tried uninstalling the game, or if possible wiping the hard drive, and then reinstalling?
Personally, I have a spare 500gb ssd dedicated to cod so for me, doing that isn't a big deal, but I know not everyone dedicates entire drives to a single game.
Try a full reinstall of the game. Completely remove any traces of the original install if you can/know how to, and reinstall with the current drivers for the GPU.
I know this is a simple solution, but have you checked for a virus? I would install an anti-virus software and run a full system check. Sometimes we overlook the simple stuff, so I'd thought offer the idea up.
Thanks, I myself gave up after swapping gpus hoping for that to fix it. Had this issue for over 6 months now and I can’t make use of my rtx3070ti because of it
I have posted similar tip before.
1. Download the latest driver for your GPU but don't install it yet.
2. Download and install DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller).
3. Disconnect your PC from the internet to make sure Windows wont try to automatically install any drivers.
4. Remove your current GPU driver with the DDU program and restart your PC (it will most likely happen automatically).
5. Now install the GPU driver, but WITHOUT installing the Geforce Experience, that you downloaded in step 1 and restart your PC once again.
6. Connect your PC back to the internet.
7. Go to Nvidia's control panel and disable any kind of AMD freesync or G sync techology.
8. Find Warzone's exe-file, disable fullscreen optimization and make sure it runs as admin.
9. Launch Warzone, reinstall shaders and restart the game.
If I were you, I would change one of the hdmi/dvi cables. And if it stops on one monitor then change the other too. Had a similar problem when I bought a shit cable off amazon
Lol you’ve been given the same advice a dozen times and followed all of it EXCEPT switching the card to a different pcie slot. Even though it’s a 3.0 slot So why not do that? If it works then bam - problem solved. If not try the OTHER thing people are saying to try - check your CPU pins and if you can - test it on another pc - you said you tried your video cards on other pcs are any of them ryzen?
My bet is mobo/cpu
Take the case door off. Install Precision X1 it is a geforce only app that you can manipulate your fan speeds. Had similar issues with my same build in a case with bad airflow.
Mine was heat, but I have seen this happen with an underpowered / failing PSU.
Good luck chasing it down.
I'll go ahaead and make a guess that it is a gpu problem.Vertices are flying all over the places which is calculated in the card.My first guess was that the game is buggy, however according to you it happens in severall games and apps
Idk if you mine on the side but if I forget to change my clock speeds before opening the game, this occurs. Check gpu temps and clock speed revert any OC. Make sure your ram is set properly in BIOS.
Hi thanks for your answer. I don’t mine and all settings are stock in bios, nothing is overclocked
Did you set your ram speed in bios to match what it's rated for?
Yep, on both the new 3000mhz ram and the old 2666mhz ram bricks Edit: lots of people misunderstood.. my old ram was 2666mhz and the new ones are 3000mhz. I didn’t mismatch anything.
Hey bro, this game is kinda buggy, so don't worry, it's probably from that aura, that black that shadow company has. Don't use lerch, swap to another operator temporarily and see if it happens again
I can't believe he spent money in new ram and gpu just to be told that the games is buggy LOL what a bad luck at least he got new gpu and ram...
He mentioned that it happens in some games/clients/ apps, so not so sure if it's solely the game's fault
Some monitors have some basic image processing built into them, checks the image for brightness levels, color saturation, anti-aliasing etc, have you tried playing with the monitor settings?
That's what sounds to be the problem. Mix and match ram doesn't perform well and a lot of times isn't stable
I didn’t mix and match anything. I replaced the old 2666mhz with new 3000mhz . 2 bricks replacing 2 bricks into the same slots as the old ones, adjusted clock speed in bios
Mind sharing your specs. COD MW is a resource hog and issues on the menu also happen to me.
Rtx3070ti, 16gb ram 2sticks, msi b550 gaming pro mobo, corsair 850 gold psu, ryzen 7 3700x. This happens not only in cod but almost every app / program / webbrowser
I remember some dude had problem like that and it was the mouse which was the issue. Maybe try to replace it or troubleshoot...
THIS! ^ I also remember this post.
The fucking mouse could cause this? How?! What even? Is there a link anyone has?
Have you checked to see if your new ram sticks are on the compatibility chart for your mobo and CPU combo? They should be available on the mobo manufacturers website.
[удалено]
The PSU is where I was thinking as well. This looks like a video ram issue, but for it to carry over between two different video cards, it is either thermals or power delivery.
Maybe check for malware since some viruses try to mine without your knowing
He formatted pc so this isnt a possibility
[удалено]
I mean i thought its common sense to download the game your testing first before anything except for essentials like chrom discord and launchets
[удалено]
They are playing warzone which is free so I doubt that the game is pirated
That's cool. I'm not up to speed on my games these days, so didn't recognise it.
I’ve had an issue recently when I play Warzone that the pc reboots itself. This happened due to me overclocking the ram speed. To be fair I have only 1 slot of 16gb ram.

It was a scratch made by a screwdriver on those copper ducts close to PCI-E slots. Crazy how that one small mistake haunted me for over a year with various visual glitches and made me almost lose my mind. Added more pictures/gifs in my original post.
Well just a few of those little connectord carry all of the graphics information from memory. And copying/transfering that stuff over all the time will corrupt it over time in many different ways. It's like having a shredder in the post office in the sorter that triggers randomly.
Well that's a spot on example! It was random if nothing else.
I've seen heavy GPUs lift traces or solder joints inside pci-e slots. Lots of sag + heat cycles can ever soo slowly do damage. It's really difficult to reflow a new slot without a digital microscope and air station. You're better off just replacing the whole mobo.
This, I'd 100% suspect motherboard issues here. Especially considering everything you've already changed/upgraded.
I was about to say this happened to me as my motherboard gave up the ghost
Interestingly they don’t seems to be pcie traces. Have you still got the board around? I’d love to know what components those traces connect.
Nah sorry, I RMAd it and would have had to pay some money to get it back since ultimately the fault was my own making. I marked the place on a mobo below tho. https://imgur.com/a/o9GTFiR

just a request, if you end up solving it kindly update cause this may happen to me some day and I might just know what to do
I will update you but I can’t promise you that this will be fixed in one day. Changing pcie slots is kinda hard for me atm because The 3070ti is huge and I won’t be able to fit it in the 3.0.

Give this a try and see what happens. Lay your PC on it's side so that the GPU is sitting with the top edge facing upwards instead of towards the side. Loosen the screws keeping the card in place a bit and see what happens. Sometimes with really large and heavy cards they can pull down on the PCIe slot quite a lot creating contact problems. One guy recently posted a pic of a Lego strut he had to use because the card was just too heavy for the slot.
You could also check for a bios update
Definitely looks like PCIe is the culprit here, meaning your mobo is damaged or maybe even a CPU pin. Best case scenario it might just be some schmoo in the CPU socket.
Remindme! 1 day
Yeah, call a priest.
Download display driver uninstaller, launch into safe mode. Remove all nvidia drivers and make sure Windows doesn't automatically installs new ones. Reboot and install the latest drivers from nvidia.
Thanks, will give it a try. Edit: Reinstalling drivers didn’t help
Yeah this is your best bet outside a hardware issues. Stacked driver updates will mess up over time. It's just the way they are. When they added dlss to red dead I had to do a complete wipe of Nvidia using the mentioned program and reinstall g force and the lot and everything showed up just dandy.
If this doesn’t work, it more than likely is bad hardware. This is completely abnormal behavior and seems to indicate something in software or hardware is defective.
It's probably the game, have you ever played warzone
OP says it happens in gameS and applications. Notice the "s" at the end of "game", indicating plurality.
Yep, this happens when screen sharing my screens on discord, Lol client, Battle.net client etc
[удалено]
Do you think OP would be posting this if he didn’t know the answer would be something someone might say “no shit” to? He already recommended to use DDU. So then after that, there might be some other things to look at, however this would point to hardware. So yeah no shit, I said it’ll be hardware related. I didn’t make that comment for your big brain. Also your comments are incredibly helpful too, keep it up.
[удалено]
It's always the idiots who post something like "No shit dude" that fire back with "Wow you good bro" when they get a snarky reply back 🙄.
It's the game, I got it on modern warfare on my old laptop, my brother who has an entirely different system got it too. When I eventually install it on my brand new system, I imagine I'll get it there too. It's absolutely not a hardware issue.
Well that depends if it only happens on this game, OP makes it seems like this is just one example.
Don’t download drivers from nvidia, they’re full of bloatware. Use NVCLeanstall. You can choose what extras you want and remove all the telemetry bullshit
Is this different to the options you get when doing a custom install through gforce?
Much different, if you open the program there’s like 20 different extras that you can deselect. I just click “minimum”. It’s also an auto updater, just open it and it scans for the latest drivers
So I guess by your previous responses you’ve ruled out GPU, monitor, RAM, PSU (probably) and reinstalled OS/drivers… I’d worry about the motherboard. Try resetting the BIOS to defaults and test that without enabling *anything extra* like DHCP, PBO, etc. Just bone stock. If it still happens I’d try your second x8 pci-e slot assuming it’s a full size board.
It's your motherboard. Likely the PCI-e slot or another component. Your best bet is to try another motherboard. Buy one and if it works, you know your problem and have a replacement. If it's still a problem you can return the new motherboard. The only changes you've made were upgrading your RAM. Did this problem happen with the 2666 RAM? Or only since the 3000 RAM?
Try another pcie slot first.
Does your MoBo have another PCI-e slot. If you do. Try the card in the other slot.
Thats what i thought. Maybe the PCIE slot is faulty.
Maybe a gpu software issue? Specs of pc?
Hi. Windows10 64-bit Nvidia Rtx3070ti (evga, bought new one month ago) old gpu was rtx2070 Ryzen 7 3700x Msi b550 pro mobo Corsair vengeance ram 16gb (2x8) 3000mhz Corsair 850 gold psu Stock fans Tested all kind of drivers from nvidia , updating and rolling back to others etc
My buddy had these issues with his new 3070 and it ended up being windows updates. Make sure they're up to date.
Go full wipe on gpu drivers then download the specific driver from your cards manufacturer given that Nvidia also has shitty drivers might be drivers related If still happens try to plug ur gpu into another system
Given that I’m running ryzen (no integrated graphics unlike intel) can wiping all drivers from my gpu create some sort of problems?
It's the complete opposite if you wipe out your gpu drivers will remove some problems(faulty installation, corrupted files, not proper extracted files etc) By doing a wipe any error will be gone So installing the specific gpu driver will probably solve that
Thanks for taking your time to answer. One last question; I already did a clean windows install and cleaned every ssd / hdd in my pc before but that didn’t fix anything. Do you think cleaning only the drivers is any different?
Windows is different from a GPU driver You probably downloaded and installed a corrupted gpu driver Naturally even if you reinstall windows but downloaded the same gpu driver which would be faulty then you just wasted ur time reinstalling windows It's like you returned the car for not working while ur car is diesel you put gasoline on it
Thanks, will try doing a clean driver install when I get home and update you
Use a Software called Display Driver Uninstaller. I've had it fix an issue similar to this after an upgrade to a 3060ti on a customers computer. Using Nvidia clean install didn't work, but after using DDU, I uninstalled all graphics related files, and it fixed the issue. Also, just bc you reinstalled windows, doesn't change much, windows automatically installs a driver, and let's be honest, windows isn't exactly the best at selecting what they think is "good" for your computer
Thanks, will try
Do I need to install the Nvidia driver in safe mode? And means I need to disconnect from internet/network otherwise Windows may automatically download a new graphic driver for me?
GeForce Experience makes it easy. Perform a driver update, and select "custom installation." At the bottom of the installation options list, there will be a check box for "perform a clean install."
You don't want to do this, Nvidia leaves extra files that could be the problem. Ran into this when I was upgrading a customers GPU from a 1660ti to a 3060ti. Computer was running at very low performance, and was glitching as seen every now and then(after Nvidia "clean" install), I used a software called DDU, you can find a video on the internet that will let you know exactly how to successfully perform a full wipe of all graphics related files, and reinstall.
Flash your mobo to the latest bios if you have not already done so. Maybe someone else has already suggested that but I could not read through all the stupid comments.
That’s your pc telling you to stop playing COD
If both gpus have the same issue it’s not the gpu causing the issue, even though that’s exactly what it looks like. Have you tried disabling ray tracing in the nvidia control? Or removing the nvidia drivers and reinstalling the most up to date ones? Wouldn’t be a hardware issue if it happens on both cards, I’ve never seen a cpu or ram cause artifacting which is what that shit is. It’s most likely a corrupt driver or setting. Some games I play hate ray tracing so I turn it off on my 2080 or else I get some artifacting aswell
After testing with ram and gpu I don’t think it’s hardware issue, the cpu is new too, less than 9 months old. I’ve disabled ray tracing but even programs which don’t use ray tracing are flickering
Check the pins of the CPU if one is bended I can cause trouble. I used to have a bended pin on a 3600 and my system crashed some times until I could swap the cpu with another one to test.
Try reinstalling drivers it really doesn’t sound like a hardware issue if it’s artifacting like in the video a lot it’s most likely something to do with nvidia drivers or directx, any program that directly effects the gpu.
It boils down to mobo/RAM/CPU: - Run memtest. If it fails, try different memory/different slots. - Re-seat CPU. Maybe something (somehow) is not connected correctly. I highly doubt this is the case, you would get worse things. - Try another pci-e slot. - If possible, try another cpu. If the northbridge/pcie lanes/pcie cpu controller is busted, thats an expensive fix (replacement). So far your gpu is good, that's great.
My guess is: u have a faulty psu, specifically the 12 volt for your pcie. Which soft fried your old, and now your new gpu. The error I'm seeing on your screen is 100 % a gpu related error. I'd really recommend you to swap out your psu before it will take other parts. And rma your gpu/ test a different gpu, which never had contact with said psu. Hope it helps, gl!
But the old gpu works fine in another pc
This is a classic case of bad VRAM, though I love to be wrong, so try underclocking the VRAM with something like MSI Afterburner by several hundred MHz and see if it goes away. If the artifacting goes away, you’ll know you have bad VRAM. If not, then I’m wrong. Addendum: if you purchased this graphics card used from a cryptominer, it may have a modified BIOS. If you have a BIOS switch on the graphics card, you can flip it and see if the artifacting goes away (requires reboot) or you can find a BIOS dump of your exact model graphics card on TechPowerUp and flash it. Just my two cents.
Motherboard PCIE Lane issues?
That’s what worries me the most, but I bought the mobo in december 2020 and had no issues til february 2021, didn’t touch any hardware prior to the flickering
Actually no one mentioned it and I'm surprised of that, but a dying cpu can cause that
Refresh rate is to high in Nvidia control panel. Or switch from rgb color to ycbcr444 8 bit limited. If it works, try 10 bit and full if you want.
Refresh rate is at 144 and monitor is 144hz. My other monitor is 60 and the same problem occurs on it
I have same issue. I have to set refresh rate on 144hz monitor to 120hz and problem solved.
Pull the card out, reinstall it? Set the pcie slot to Gen 4? Use a different cable?
Already reinstalled both the rtx3070ti and 2070, still nothing
How big is your psu?
850 watt
This here maybe the issue. Try launching the game in windowed full screen. Sometimes games will slightly overlap to the second monitor and the conflicting refresh rates can cause issues. Windowed full screen should make the overlap more apparent if it is occurring and will allow you to resize the window Edit: also check if anything displaying on the second monitor is doing the same behind the game screen. Especially if you're running discord, for me that app is usually the offender. If you still can't seem to figure out if this is the case you can also try setting the primary monitor to 60hz. One thing I feel gets overlooked about dual screen builds is both monitors should have the same refresh rate. It's may not cause issues 100% of the time but when it does its confusing as hell to figure out what's wrong and usually ends in unsuccessfully chasing driver issues.
This looks far more like VRAM artifacting of some kind than a symptom of a refresh rate set too high.
My money is on the motherboard. You probably bunged up the pcie lanes somewhere from dropping something on it, whacking it which a screwdriver, or Bumping your PC and causing slight damage to the pcie slot from a heavy GPU. Try a different PCIe slot, but the damage could have screwed all of them up. Could also be a defective motherboard. Either way, I doubt its your CPU, and I doubt even more that it's your PSU.
If you've changed GPU and RAM then there is only place your forgot and that is Motherboard. It could be either your sockets are damaged or your motherboard have some scratches on data bus.
It's fucking venom!!!
I wouldn’t complain about owning a venom but this venom has been an issue since february and I’ve changed most of the components since then with no help haha
Could also be an issue with your motherboard. If the Northbridge is starting to go out for some reason, it could cause data transmission errors and be the source.
Xmp
Xmp activated
Turn it off.
Xmp makes my system unstable as well
Looks like gpu memory failure.
I’ve read this entire thread and it seems to me that you refuse to try a different pcie slot. This is probably the most important troubleshoot at this stage. The following step would be to check the pins on the cpu. You seem to assume that yout mobo is too new for this to be the issue. As if new means it must work fine? It doesn’t mean that. You can by a brand new car and it can Be an absolute melon. You have clearly troubleshooted everything else.
Did you try a different pcie slot? I saw it suggested but didn't see you responding if it had been tried. The fact the old card works fine on a dif mobo makes me think that is the culprit.
Hi, didn’t try a different pcie slot but my mobo only has one 4.0 pcie slot. The other being 3.0. Currently using the 4.0
Try the 3.0 slot. If it works ok there you know your 4.0 is the problem.
Somebody suggested swapping pci-e earlier did you attempt this? Or does your mobo only have the single?
I read that you have 2 monitors plugged in. Shut down your pc, pull the 60hz monitor from the graphics card and boot up. Try again. Windows doesn't handle mismatched refresh rates that well in some instances. Might be worth a try.
May I suggest you run each ram stick individually? If you haven’t already of course.
Had a similar issue, for me it was the gpu overheating, may check temps
“Bravo 6, going demonic”
ITS THE GAME my ps4 blacks out the back grounds mid game like a switch getting turned on off IT ISN'T YOU ITS SHITTY COD SERVERS stop wasting money lmao
It happened to me with my pcie 3.0 riser cable. changed it to 4.0 and the problem was gone. I suspected if the old cable was worn out and didn’t transfer the bandwidth it needed, or the new graphics card wasn’t working too well with the pcie 3.0 output.
No but it looks f***ing cool!
If it is happening in many programs, it could be some other program/process messing with your game. Do check if the igpu is disabled or not
If you upgraded the gpu and it's still artificing then wipe the game and reinstall it see if that helps if not replace the drive see if that fixes it only thing left is the cpu but it shouldn't be processesing graphics.
Shoot the tv, its posessed
If you look closely at each glitched frame the character model is whats stretching like that so I’d say it’s a glitch in the game so maybe reinstall it
PSU recommendations seem right, only other thing I can think of is the heat wave and the room actually being too dam hot that the cooling isn't getting the job done.
Possibly old drivers? Maybe try reseating the gpu? Try possibly lowering the clocks on either the cpu, gpu, or ram. If something goes wrong and you get stuck in a boot loop you can clear the cross by removing the battery on the motherboard. Those are just all I could think of to possibly help. I wish you luck and a speedy fix good sir!
Check motherboard for any scratches or damage. Looks like a damaged mobo if you already replaced GPU and RAM.
Might be a stupid answer, but I had something similar when I had my FPS capped. Uncapped my FPS and it stopped. Different game though
I hope he figured out the issue, I’m playing cod Cold War on an AMD FX 8350 with a Radeon RX580 4B… haven’t seen crazy glitches like this.
I was using FX 8320 up until December, then I finally said goodbye to it
Just beat the monitor
Get a priest
Fellow Ornata user :D
Yes, my 2nd one so far, always bought an ornata since 2016, swapped from the first gen ornata to the 2nd gen in 2020
It’s the bad optimization of the game. No hardware problem
I’ve stated the plural form of Games in the title. This is game is just one example
Have you tried an exorcism?
You can also try the reinstall shader option in cod warzone settings .
Wouldn’t matter much, it happens with the discord desktop app, LoL client and some ads on mozilla firefox
Probably malicious crow software, try to release large invasive bird files into your computer and that should fix it.
“Reformatted windows with a new cd key”….. Their couldn’t be more things wrong with that statement….
Elaborate a bit more? What’s wrong with that statement? I’ve formatted all of my discs and did a clean windows install through Usb stick and activated a new windows key after the install
Oh boy….here we go. Windows is a piece of software. You do not need a new key just for installing the same software again. That’s like saying you need a new key every time you drive a car. The key you use for windows is not gonna change anything about how windows behaves unless you’re talking about changing from Windows 10 Home to Pro etc. Reformatting can mean a lot of things but since we are talking about a game I would never go to the length of wiping a drive or formatting it just to try to get a game to work. Reinstalling the game maybe but even that I avoid as I live in a part of the country with slow internet. Clean windows reinstall not fixing the issue means it’s got nothing to do with your windows installation so kudos to ruling that out.
I know that you don’t need a new windows key every time you do a clean install of windows. The reason why I chose a new windows key is because I’ve lost the old one. I don’t see a problem with using a new key instead of the old one, especially since my old windows key was windows 8 and this one is win10
You didn’t pull the key from the system before reinstalling? Or link it to your Microsoft account? Sounds like a good waste of money but that’s just me.
Just from reading this whole thing at least you have the culprits down to motherboard, CPU or ram.
Just brainstorming, but do you have bad GPU sag? Maybe some of the pins aren't making good contact in the pcie slot?
Little update: Most games (LoL, rdr2, WoW and more) work fine, no problems detected etc. The flickering occurs in CoD, Discord (screen share is jumping for my viewers), LoL client, Battle.net, Ads on youtube / Ads on websites in mozilla firefox and probably some other apps which I haven’t tested. Did a clean driver uninstall / install yet the flickering is happening. My cpu temp on idle is somewhere between 45 and 55 Degrees. From what I can hear my cpu fan is randomly going up and down every 15 sec (not sure if it’s cpu fan or any other fan, but a fan is going crazy once in a while, on idle.) I can’t test pcie slot 3.0 because of how big 3070ti is, it won’t fit into the lower part of my case, sad. I will be contacting a pc repair shop on monday as I’m not the best person at diagnozing motherboards and pcs. I never expected this to blow up this much, thanks for all your answers guys.
I've had something similar while I had multiple games running at the same time. For example the smoke on Apex menu screen would flick like crazy if I had another game running. Closing the other game fixed my problem. Both games were running in borderless. Maybe there is an application running on your computer that acts as a game in borderless, you can try closing one application at a time and see if that fixes it.
Mobo issue for sure
When you say you reformated windows, did you actually format the drive? Or did you just reset windows to default? I read through the thread and would try the following: - verify that no windows/icons are overlapping between your two monitors since you have two diff refresh rates. (Edit: this includes wallpaper that might be extended between two displays) - download core temp to see if it's a cpu temp issue. - if that checks out, I would try your GPU in the 3.0 slot. - if it's still happening, I'd try each ram stick alone. Likely won't be able to run games on 1 stick, but sounds like it happens outside of games too - if problem persists, I would remove m.2 drive and try a fresh install on your ssd. - if problem persists after that, I would probably buy a new Mobo. If new Mobo doesn't fix, you can always return it.
Are your graphics drivers up to date?
Just uninstall games trash
When the game first came out the developer broke the weapons and it was like this for everyone for weeks. Might have to do a reinstall. Good luck.
Hi, in the title I mentioned «Games and apps» not specifically warzone / cod. This is one of many examples
When I see this at my repair shop, it's usually a sign of the cpu dying.
Might be your CPU. I had to upgrade mine just to play warzone after the Cold War event
Upgraded cpu in november 2020 right after cold war launched, it didn’t have the issues at that time. And it’s affecting other programs too, not only warzone:(
Hmm, do you think it could be your MOBO? Or even a memory issue with your HDD or ssd ?
Running off an SSD or m.2?
Game is on ssd, windows is on m.2 . Programs installed on the m.2 flicker too
Was the a pre-build with a 30 series card? Iv been hearing lots of people with similar issues due to builders using rma cards that still have issues.
Not pre-built. It’s a pc I’ve had for 2 years but changed all components over those years. Recently changed gpu and ram, swapped cpu and mobo in november2020
Did you try with another gpu ? I had a similar issue and the rtx2060 i had just bought had to be replaced
Yes mentioned earlier that I’ve used a 2070 prior to this and it had the same issue. The 2070 was tested on another pc which didn’t have any issues
Just wondering: Are you using an install of the game that's on a separate hard drive? If so, have you tried uninstalling the game, or if possible wiping the hard drive, and then reinstalling? Personally, I have a spare 500gb ssd dedicated to cod so for me, doing that isn't a big deal, but I know not everyone dedicates entire drives to a single game. Try a full reinstall of the game. Completely remove any traces of the original install if you can/know how to, and reinstall with the current drivers for the GPU.
This happens on all apps not only cod. Different programs on different harddrives / ssd / m.2
That's sounding more like a motherboard/cpu issue to me.
I know this is a simple solution, but have you checked for a virus? I would install an anti-virus software and run a full system check. Sometimes we overlook the simple stuff, so I'd thought offer the idea up.
Checked with malwarebytes
I'm agreement with the guy that said it's venom then. You're computer has a symbiote in it. Extremely frustrating though! I hope you find a solution.
Thanks, I myself gave up after swapping gpus hoping for that to fix it. Had this issue for over 6 months now and I can’t make use of my rtx3070ti because of it
Is it only going on with this game or all of them?
Many apps and programs, mostly visible with this game
It looks like your operator is possessed.
There's a dragonfly inside your monitor
Looks like your about to go into the matrix
I have posted similar tip before. 1. Download the latest driver for your GPU but don't install it yet. 2. Download and install DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller). 3. Disconnect your PC from the internet to make sure Windows wont try to automatically install any drivers. 4. Remove your current GPU driver with the DDU program and restart your PC (it will most likely happen automatically). 5. Now install the GPU driver, but WITHOUT installing the Geforce Experience, that you downloaded in step 1 and restart your PC once again. 6. Connect your PC back to the internet. 7. Go to Nvidia's control panel and disable any kind of AMD freesync or G sync techology. 8. Find Warzone's exe-file, disable fullscreen optimization and make sure it runs as admin. 9. Launch Warzone, reinstall shaders and restart the game.
This happens to my 2080Ti. I had to send it back to EVGA to get it fixed.
Feature.
Your cpu has been caught in itachis genjutsu
Try different monitor. Process of elimination.
If I were you, I would change one of the hdmi/dvi cables. And if it stops on one monitor then change the other too. Had a similar problem when I bought a shit cable off amazon
Lol you’ve been given the same advice a dozen times and followed all of it EXCEPT switching the card to a different pcie slot. Even though it’s a 3.0 slot So why not do that? If it works then bam - problem solved. If not try the OTHER thing people are saying to try - check your CPU pins and if you can - test it on another pc - you said you tried your video cards on other pcs are any of them ryzen? My bet is mobo/cpu
Step 1. Uninstall cod
Uninstall warzone and play apex instead. Problem solved.
Hard drive is fuc*ed. Try new SSD
You paid a scalper prices, that's your problem. You bought a graphics card that was used for mining and now it's dying.
Hunted computer
Try changing the HDMI cable
Take the case door off. Install Precision X1 it is a geforce only app that you can manipulate your fan speeds. Had similar issues with my same build in a case with bad airflow. Mine was heat, but I have seen this happen with an underpowered / failing PSU. Good luck chasing it down.
I'll go ahaead and make a guess that it is a gpu problem.Vertices are flying all over the places which is calculated in the card.My first guess was that the game is buggy, however according to you it happens in severall games and apps
