Changed GPU

Mad_hand

Hello everybody!

Have read a lot of topics, but cause i am really stressed of the situation, decided to start a new discussion.

For last two years ive been using rtx 3080 asus tuf paired with 32 samsung odyssey g65b. Everything was ok, i could sit by this for hours. But then i jumped from 3080 to 5070ti and reinstalled windows plus upgraded bios. And problems have arrived. I got really hard eeye pressure and strain cause of new setup, half an hour equals for me 5-6 hours with old setup.

Ive changed dp1.4 to hdmi 2.1. Tried lots of configs for monitor and color settings, no success.

I would really appreciate telling me a short list of the most effective solutions in this situation. Or should i change the GPU?

Mad_hand Sorry to hear about this. Do you still have the old GPU laying around and if yes - does changing it back help go back to previous state? If yes - you have the culprit and the solution, at least for now while you search for a way to run this new or other new GPU. If not - it's either BIOS upgrade or other things that you've updated (which is Windows and potentially drivers?) or all of them. If you could clarify that, it'd be easier to think of some possible things to try.

Mad_hand I would downgrade back to the 3080 and start testing 40 and 50 series cards with a safe card as a backup. Did you jump from Windows 10 to 11? My guess is you were already on an updated version of windows and only did a small incremental change in bios version.

randomboolean for a pity i dont have the old gpu. Drivers are the newest for the gpu from nvidia.

Do you think i should downgrade bios? Or drivers for 5070ti? Or find older OS version?

Mad_hand Maybe @ensete @simplex @JTL @Staycalmsyndrome or others could help on this one, as I have much less experience with OS version and driver downgrades and no experience with BIOS downgrades (which has some risks) or GPUs. You can also look at posts like this as this is the very usual advice that is given here: https://ledstrain.org/d/3008-ditherigexe-and-color-control-do-they-work/15

All you can - recreate "comforty" configuration (incl driver, bios, win version). All this impact flickering patterns which your brain adapted for 🙂

p.s. idk how to brake this adaptation
