CATALYST DISPLAY DRIVER UPDATE AND NOW MY SCREEN LOOKS LIKE A BROKEN MOSAIC

Sana Q. · 2024-05-13T12:41:30.799Z

So this is new. Artifacts in 3D apps, and only since updating Catalyst Display Driver from AMD. ive alreday rebooted three times. they dont show up on the BIOS screen as far as I can tell, only once Windows loads. is that a meaningful clue? im happy to run tests, I just need to know which ones make sense. I have not overclocked anything on purpose, but I did install a tuning tool a while back. I want to rule out the cheap explanations before I start pricing replacement cards.

do they appear in screenshots, or only on the monitor?

ur BIOS observation is a good clue. If artifacts appear only after Windows loads teh driver, but not in BIOS or in Safe Mode (which uses the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter), that leans towards driver/software. If they show up in BIOS too, think hardware.
