Question RX 7900 XTX Grainy Graphics

[giffintg]

Good Morning Everyone!

I recently upgraded my PC from a GTX 1080 to an RX 7900 XTX. The performance boost is massive however the graphics / shaders are very grainy and I'm hoping to get help finding a solution. The grainy look is visible on every game I have played on (Satisfactory, Boulders Gate 3, FFXIV, Cyber Punk, Starfield, MSFS). And though the gameplay has been really nice, the graphics and grainy look has been distracting me and feels bad. I appreciate any assistance!

This I have tried already:
1) DDU and clean reinstall of the driver

System Specs:
Monitor: Samsung Odyssey G7 LC27G75TQSNXZA 27" Quad HD 2560x1440 2K
MB: ASUS TUF Gaming Z-690 Plus
CPU: Intel Core i9-12900KF
GPU: SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 7900 XTX
RAM: T-Force Vulcan 32GB (2x16GB)
Power: Rosewill SMG 1050W

I had this with the rx 6700 xt as well what i found was that windows zooms everything in go into display at 150 percent on my monitor

go into display in settings and drop it down to 125 or 100 percent

see if that fixes your issue personally i think its the way amd uses rasterization as i went back to my 2060 super as some of the games i played didnt play ball well with it

on my nvidia display i was at 125. on the amd this went up to 150 percent

make you turn off image sharpening and try running it in vulkan vs direct x 12. rdna 2 doesnt like direct x9 titles .

Thank you for the response!

I went into display settings and it was set at 100% (Recommended). No changes made.
Turned off Image Sharpening in the Radeon Panel. No differences noticed.
Used Vulkan on two games but my computer didn't response well to it. Intense lag spikes.

In the game settings I am altering sharpness and Anti Aliasing and that is having the biggest impact on these grainy graphics / shaders.

MSFS was able to look nice, Boulders Gate 3 blue screened my computer. =[

also in games turn off fsr this drops your resolution down you want it to be native only

no dlss or any other crap (2560x1440 native only with anti alias)

see if SSAA is usable

you may have to do a clean install otherwise. but if its possible id personally return it.

as i suspect its just the way amd gpu handles rendering games if you google your issue youll find forums of people saying the exact same thing with rdna cards. or its a bug in the drivers with anti aliasing. you can try forcing it in the radeon software as well.

games i had issues with was cyber punk 2077/ outer worlds/ tales of arise.

Thanks for all the replies and support. Its requiring alot of tinkering but it is definitely a combination of FSR, Sharpening, and Anti Aliasing.

I'm happy my GPU is okay and its just internal settings. But super frustrated I have to youtube how to set my graphic settings for video games and cant just set it to "ultra" and be g2g. =[

its kind of the trade of with radeon gpus alot of tinkering vs nvidias set up and go amds driver support team is small compared to nvidia
