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.

        RX 580 ARMOR 8G. I used Dvi only. I had an LG wtp227pf. I had never eye pain with it. Never noticed dithering, but perhaps it was there. Not sure.

        JTL Could you elaborate on that, the reasons? I am thinking of trying out a Radeon Pro W5700 as think it should be similar in output to your tried and tested W5500.

            Allekss I posted this elsewhere in the past, but glad more people can see what is going in. Looking at the slowed down temporal dithering animation makes me feel as if I was watching a current iPad or the old OLED tv I returned years ago.

              I went from Nvidia to AMD 6700 because I saw something online where someone said they got a PC with a 6600 and it was ok, I couldnt find a 6600 so got a 6700 instead.

              Good Nvidia:

              1060, 1660s,

              Bad Nvidia (so far no setting changes could make these usable on 4 different monitors)

              2060, 3060ti

              1050ti (possibly bad hardly any use)

              The 6700 using display port with AMD software slightly reduced brightness, contrast and saturation (talking default is 100 took it down to 90 sort of thing) and it OK on desktop and some applications.

              Example, on my 1660s everything is ok apart from some games.

              On the 6700 some common games are ok, but ones that were not on the 1660s are now ok, but ones that were ok on the 1660s are now not.

              I do not know why this is. the 6700 must be processing some things differently with newer game engines perhaps.

                reaganry Tested an AMD HP W5700 Pro Card under Linux and Windows 11, both configurations unfortunately gave me eyestrain. Even with an Old Firepro 2460 off Ebay I experienced eyestrain. Patching my right eye eliminates it.

                Only my laptop with an HD4000 gives me no eyestrain even without patching.

                  A few months have passed, unfortuantely I made the mistake of updating drivers and it immediately was bad, caused migraine like symptoms.

                  I reverted back to previous drivers / backups but I didnt take a proper full image of the working setup so its back to how it was before even at desktop it causes me issues.

                  I dont know what setting I was able to change, I have been through all my notes but I may have to try another card now.

                      HAL9000 Any idea of the driver / software version before and after the update? Probably worthwhile to check the changelog, and email them about if there are any internal changelog on what might have changed
