machala "And the 1660 Super is OK in your ryzen 1700 system?"

Unfortunately, no. This system gives me problems connected to all monitors I have (an old benq 1920*1200 CCFL that I can use with Accenture laptop and my alienware 240hz) and to all GPUs (the 7900's integrated, RX 480 and 1660 super).

The old motherboard is a crosshair vi hero (X370 chipset) and the current one is still an asus rog B650A. The bios has the same graphics and menus but the new motherboard has horrendous output on my monitor, already from the bios! it seems to me there is something wrong! I also updated it last night to the latest version but nothing has changed.

I will give it one last try this weekend installing W10 1809 and if it doesn't work out I will try to sell the PC to someone.

Can you give me your exact model of motherboard? I could buy your MB and a 13700K so much they should be compatible!

      Indeed I might try to buy an already assembled PC from ZNXT and in case make the return.

      But first I want to try to change monitors to an LG 27GR95QE OLED 2K 240HZ monitor! My dream and I've never had any problems with OLED devices except for the iphone 14 pro, so I'm pretty optimistic!

      Lauda89 Why would you be getting the same motherboard as I have when I'm telling you it's already bad! It's a GIGABYTE B660 GAMING X, the large one with 3x M.2 slots.

      I am also not sure we understood each other with the graphics card… is the 1660 super bad too when you install it in your old motherboard (crosshair vi hero with ryzen 1700)?

          machala Sorry, I understood that with the gigabyte you were able to solve the situation.

          I only tried the 1660 in the new PC with the Ryzen 7900! I don't want to try it on the old PC.. it's the only problem-free PC I have and I don't want to risk it.

              Lauda89 You know what? I totally understand what you mean… I am in the same situation with my old intel haswell-based system with a 660…

              and again, no the Gigabyte motherboard is bad, very similar symptoms to what you describe with your AMD system. That's why I believe there's no guarantees you would be good with a 13xxx intel system.

                Lauda89 Can you please tell me what type exactly is your new motherboard? Name and manufacturer… Many thanks.

                    JTL have you tried radeon 5700? seeing them for $200

                        reaganry No, but while I'm still performing more research I have reason to believe that conventional Radeon cards may not be equivalent to the workstation variants.

                            I try steam deck 64gb and found that steam deck very please for my eyes. Zero eye strain. Steam deck is no dithering.

                            Lauda89 Just an update..

                            I installed W11 with the latest updates and am using the 1660 SUPER with the DVI --> HDMI output of the monitor.

                            With the DVI output, the situation has improved, and it gets even better by setting limited RGB. Let's say that with DVI + limited RGB I can use the PC. It's not perfect because I can't stay relaxed, but for playing with it 2/3h is ok.

                            Unfortunately with this setting, the monitor colors suck and I am limited to 120hz (my monitor is 240hz).

                                Received a Gigabyte 6650XT Eagle. Immediate eyestrain with both Windows 10 22H2 and Linux. Connected via Displayport. Super Resolution enabled. Patching my non-dominant right eyes results in no eyestrain. Will get an eye exam and possibly prism glasses this week. If that fails do make it better I will try the new Intel Arc GPU then W5700 then W5500.

                                I don't believe font rendering to be an issue for me. I suspect dithering.

                                  Yes the 6000 series has dithering always on.

                                    At least one person also reported eyestrain with an RX5000 card also…I only hold out hope for the 5000 workstation cards.
