Question 7900xtx with weird artifacts

Here's a rundown of everything I've tried before and recently, in no particular order. If anyone has any idea what else to try let me know. I plan to keep trying new games until I find enough where it happens consistently and then I can send it back because all the stress and benchmarks are fine. If I send it now as is, they'll just run stress test, benchmark or game and say it works fine and send it back, and I'll be without gpu for weeks or months.



Tried integrated GPU and older GPU card I have (nvidia 1070) no artifacts

Tried HDMI 2.1 from PS5

Tried two different dpi cables and 2 HDMI cables

Tried 3 different monitors(or well 2 plus tv)

Installed fresh win11 without anything and tried there

Freshly installed various drivers

Underclocked

Overclocked

Tried all the stress tests and benchmarks I could find

I even recorded in-game footage and it shows these artifacts in the video

Tried different resolutions in-game and in Windows settings

Tried different refresh rates

Fixed card sagging

Expo (for RAM) is disabled in bios

I don't have another PCIe port to test, or I do but gpu can't fit there

Removed drivers through DDU between testings

No remaining PCIE cables from the PSU but no place to plug it in in PSU even if I had it

I switched cables around a bit inside between things

It might have worked in the end when I tried running it without any drivers but the game was so choppy and lagging I couldn't test more times and CPU was maxing so maybe it was running off it.

Installed the driver only from March 2023, for a moment I thought it worked but after a restart same old, not to say the restart made it worse it's just that it's not consistent.

I reinstalled the newest drivers

Overlock and underclock didn't help from either afterburner or amd software, same with some gaming profile t hat does things.

Can't run memory clock under 2500



As for the games, I haven't really been playing much but I did notice it originally in Honkai Star Rail, which is a mobile game and I thought oh it's flashy and unpolished maybe it's just the game and it wasn't much and at random places.

Later, ESO - older mmo it would show up a lot and in all different colours and places.

Wanted to play two mirror but noticed it right away in the menu, noticed it in the game too but it's a bit more discreet there.

Started playing kingdom come deliverence and it only shows in certain cutscenees and just in a black spot above the cutscene though I think it went down a few times as well.

I noticed it in discord as well but this might just be down to hardware acceleration there.

Warframe I just ran once to test and I could see it popping up here and there when paying attention to it.



Oh and this is how the card is powered, it's not dusty or dirty the camera just went into night mode and messed up the colors.

https://streamable.com/wkqbar - here I was recording it around discord but saw it behind in game too (honkai)

https://streamable.com/ct1qmz - cutscene from kingdom come, mostly on top and top left but it goes down too

Welcome tot he forums, newcomer!

MOBO:ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F
What BIOS version are you on for your motherboard?

Removed drivers through DDU between testings
If I were you, I'd run DDU in an elevated command, i.e, Right click extension>Run as Administrator, then remove all GPU drivers(Intel, Nvidia and AMD) then manually reinstall with the latest GPU drivers sourced from AMD's support site, in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.

Bios is latest from the website, and I did use ddu like that in safe mode, im investigating if i can get 16 pin to 2x8 pin cable as that also could be a culprit as im using 1 8pin and 1 2x8pin to supply power and that might not be ideal

Just an update, recently got my warranty claim fulfilled and got a new card, no issues whatsoever like before! On the one hand, I'm so pleased but on the other it sucks I had to do all this research to be sure (and not even 100%) they'll accept it in the end but oh well :)
