No, I don't see a way how could motherboard be impacting this either… it was actually a question as I saw some remarks here in the forum that changing motherboard actually made things worse even with exactly the same graphics card. If the answer is it should not, it's great and I'm happy…
If motherboard could be impacting it then my attempt to build a PC without the graphics card and then start the "quest for an eye strain free card" may be in vain…
This has got me thinking though what if the motherboard chipset could affect things as well.
In the example for my laptops, what are the chances the intel CPUs / HD530 are completely different? Why would intel not 'cut and paste' the same HD530 each time etc. The laptop boards though are likely different, I'm not sure how I can check the chipset though.
the cost of testing all this soon mounts up though, new motherbaord, new cpu, graphics, power supplies, case etc…
Business-Eyes I am sorry you mean "will cause" or "will not cause"?
A different motherboard could mean a different OS build / updates / drivers if you are reinstalling the OS which definitely could cause problems. Otherwise I am as skeptical as everyone else.
Maybe different Intel GOP firmware or microcode can affect the Intel integrated graphics? Not sure. For that reason I am suspicious of BIOS updates. Maybe different motherboards come stock with different versions of this firmware and microcode. I don’t really don’t know and am just speculating.
machala will not
Yes, your proposal it is true. I bought two different laptops with the same intel hd 620 videochip. But they have different generation of processor (8 vs 11) and of course different motherboard. And laptop with intel 8 i can use with external display successfully, but i have trouble with other laptop with 11 intel. This shit make me really angry, i have seen that reason could be EVERYTHERE - display, gpu, processor, motherboard - everething else. It makes my tries to figure out with my problem senceless (
I doubt it. I suppose the problem is (OS and/or videodriver+health)-related. For example I can use GTX 970 in win 7 without eyestrain but I can't do it in Win 10/Linux. In win 10 I can use only intel graphics 630 (without any nvidia driver and GPU installed simultaneously). I don't know for sure, but probably even modern video cards can be used in win 7 except for gaming. Essentially it is a health issue. So now I can't stand pc/ps/xbox gaming no matter the videocard and OS. But I could play mobile games before android 12…. And now I have to reset to factory settings my firmware) I wonder what I will do when there is no more device my eyes can stand)
i try my vga in another motherboard and procesor. My previous mb is gigabyte a320m and procesor is ryzen 5 3500x. Then i try in msi mag b660m mortar wifi and intel i5 12400. With same gpu. And not change, still have eye problem exactly same. So the problem is gpu i think
is there anyone here who cant tolerate 1660 Tuf?
ensete Thanks for the reassurance, however I bought a new PC without a graphics card and I'm swapping different graphics cards in it to find the "right" one, tried two so far, no luck. And I was very conservative in my choices: MSI 1660 Super Ventus and a Gigabyte 1050 Ti. I don't even think about trying the 2xxx and 3xxx cards… I'm starting to fear the MB might have some impact after all, although it just makes no sense…
Can I ask you what your latest motherboard is? Mine is a Gigabyte B660 Gaming X…
ludwig Thanks. Too bad that you sold it, I might even be tempted to buy it from you for a good price… I believe I saw in another thread your latest motherboard is a MSI B660M, is that true? I'm starting to fear there might be some issue with the B660 chipset motherboards. Before this PC I have now I had a chance to try out a different build using MSI B660M and an MSI 1650 Ventus…and it was also bad.
On the contrary I have Win 10 laptops, one with a Quadro that are actually good. Not perfect, but quite OK for me… so Win10 can't be the primary problem for me (yes, it's worse than Win7, but still acceptable for me). Moreover I see the issue in BIOS as well…
And I was very conservative in my choices: MSI 1660 Super Ventus and a Gigabyte 1050 Ti.
Not universally known as safe choices. Some more recently reported the 1660 Super as a safe choice, but to be really sure you have a "safe" Nvidia card you need to use a Keper series card or else the highest card you can use is a GTX 970 with earlier VBIOS. Probably these "safe" cards dither as well but with a different less aggravating algorithm as compared to post GTX 970 (or 970 after VBIOS change) cards.
I think it's a good idea to have an old cheap Kepler card like Quadro K4000 or other as a reference.
