6900XT everything in windows is considerably more jagged than my 1080ti

[candymancan21]

So ive had this 6900xt for a few weeks, and its driving me crazy, i thought it might be the new Dell 2722DGM 27 inch 1440p curved monitor i got. I messed with the sharpness on the monitor and it seems to help but Icons letters, eeverything is jagged..

Like for example if i watch hardware unoboxed on youtube, their LOGO is jagged like AA is turned off in a video game... Nvidias LOGO on a review i just read on this website is JAGGED, my VIDEO i just made of my system my memory and everything looks is jagged like AA is off lol... Its odd... I decided to plug my old monitor back... same issue... I switched back to my 1080ti.... issue gone.

So is there some setting in the AMD drivers i can tweak to fix this ? It reminds me of how gpu makers in the past would cheat by tuning down the graphics in the driver itself to get more fps for reviews and benchmarks lol... Im tired of seeing jagged everything. It shouldnt be doing this on a 1440p 27 inch monitor the PPI and Pixel Pitch is pretty high

Check if you have this option enabled

DDU drivers properly before you install radeon drivers. Make sure you have sufficient PSU power and my advice is to use two separate cables to feed power to the GPU.
Maybe there is something wrong with the settings. have you tried games and all was OK? Which browser you are using? Have you considered browser settings and GPU acceleration for video encoding?
Consider putting in your specs which will help to see what hardware you are using.

edit hardware acceleration is on in the browser, but with it on when watching youtube videos i get scroll lagg which is unbearable to my eyes

yes i checked that is on

here is my video, ignore the video reason i figured out that issue, just look at the memory does it look jagged to you guys ? It looks horribly jagged to me

The picture in the video does look quite jagged, memory, graphics card (cooler borders), basically all the outlines, as if there are two highly contrasting tones on each object border.

I'd set everything back to factory defaults: graphics card drivers and monitor too. Then I'd only lower brightness and contrast in the monitor menu (because factory they come way too bright),
brightness from 100 to 63 and contrast from 50 to 45. I found that to be just right on my Philips and on my Samsung monitor.

Very good looking setup, by the way.

Go to chrome://flags/ -> Choose ANGLE graphics backend -> choose D3D9.

About the "jagged" thing, can't you just post a screenshot or something to let us see what it actually looks like ?

Is the monitor connected correctly and set up properly?

Displayport if possible, HDMI if not
Is the native resolution chosen? RGB? 10 bit colour?

Pixel format is the most important one here, if you're using a low bandwidth HDMI cable or a 4K30hz TV or something you'll be running in something other than RGB mode and they're ass for text

Show a screenshot of the monitor settings in the AMD control panel



People are focusing on some weird things here, no it's not going to be a browser issue or a windows setting - this is a config problem between the monitor and the video card, with 99% of the relevant options in the video cards control panel software

I don't see any jaggies in that video. Are you running that monitor at its native resolution? Running it lower will definitely produce them and the picture quality will be poor from the anti aliasing it does, too.

Thanks here it is as a whole. Built it in 2017 Most ppl seem to go hard tubing . i prefer soft tubing as its easier to take blocks off etc without draining. And thats just what im used too ovwr 23 years doing it.tried to go with a resident evil virus anti virus theme but i think ill take the sticker off and change the coolant and rgb lighting color..

Ok so then maybe it isnt my video card if youre seeing jagged stuff on the video.. but i sware when i lut the 1080ti back in its much smoother looking overall.

Yes 2560x1440. Does it on my other 27 inch 1440 as well. You dont see jaggies on the outline of the memory etc.. its very bad there.. thats why i think its AMD.. but i did uograde to windows 11 at the same time i got the 6900xt. So i dinno.. i just dont remember seeing everything so dang jagged even in windows

All those settings look the same as mine.. 8 bit color (its a va panel) and rgb 4x4x4 poxel f9rmat standard.. i tried all the other options. No change. Using the DP cable that came with the monitor. Going to bed soon.. ill snap pics tomorrow

The monitor is DP 1.2. Video card is 1.4

We need a screenshot of what yours looks like
the other settings on that panel matter

That video has nothing "jagged" here so something has definitely been set incorrectly either on the AMD control panel or the monitor itself
If the monitor is fine on other hardware, then it's the AMD settings that are off somehow

Those top fans are backwards and that's a dangerously low amount of coolant



We're gunna find something like DPI Scaling at 300%, or you've held ctrl while scrolling the mousewheel adjusting the zoom in a browser, or virtual resolution stuff in the AMD settings, or the monitors going to have something set other than the default setting for scaling so it's stretching/condensing/altering the image

There are so, so many things that can cause this visual weirdness and you've missed it - so please dont tell us "yeah its fine" - SHOW us, because you've missed something - hence asking for help

Do you still have your 1080 Ti to compare? If possible, install W10 on a different SSD / HDD, install the video driver and see if it looks the same and then check with the 1080 Ti too. If ok, try upgrading to W11 again and see if it goes bad again. That will help to narrow it down.

Might be a good idea to take a close-up photo of the screen with a camera to show the problem better.

Hw acceleration never worked properly in webbrowsers, turn it off, the cpu can handle web tasks fine. And this is for both AMD and nvidia

Did you put a fresh OS build in? Nvdrivers tend to sabotage files when other cards are inserted.

 

[pavle]

I must say I've never had any problems with the hardware acceleration in browsers, nor with changing between display drivers on the same computer without using any driver cleaner.
That video does look off but I don't have any RX 6xxx card to test.
I really like the colors of that setup, they just go together.
The top fans, looks like, are blowing hot air from the radiator into the compute case though; that's not optimal.

This hw accel problem has dated back to the first version of Internet Explorer. I just turn it off because the CPUs as of the K6 2 can handle multimedia without needing gou resources

I have windows 10 on two other drives . I did forget about that.. ill go check. Sadly no i had to mail it out yezturday but i did compare it looks better with the 1080ti

Actually yes it is. The case is a Thermaltake View 71. So its almost like an open air case. It came out in like 2017/2018 i believe. All its glass panels that are spaced an inch out so with positive airflow which the case needs to keep dust out. It will actually blow hot air out of every panel. If i suck hot air out im essentually sucking radiating hot air from the gpu memory motherboard and Nvme and the front radiator exhaust back into itself.

Sucking hit air from the first radiator negates thr point of the 2nd radiator. Gamers nexus and i believe Jayz2cents tested this back when the case was new. Plus it makes sense. Hot air rises but it reacts acts differently when moving fast. So sucking in cold air from both radiators actually keeps the loop cooler. And keeps my open panel case dust free. Now if this was a closed panel case. Yes the case would insufferably suffer from hot air inside of it from this

During gaming my pwm is set to 100% at 65c. So my fsns and pump run 100%. If i open the panel i feel 0 hot air sitting inside due to it being push out all the panels from the air pressure. If the fans run at say 50% with full load then the case suffers from hot air. But also the loop itself actually gets hot/warm to the touch and it cant cool itself down at 50% when the gpu snd cpu are at load. But 100% fans are running at 1600rpm and the loop is cool snd case is cool.

I've never had an issue with this, on any of my systems - AMD, intel and Nvidia. It has always worked perfectly, except for very very rare driver bugs on launch products (8800GTX had some, and some AMD cards back in the XP days)


OP decided to go overboard with threats of violence in other threads, so i'll just get this one locked - he doesn't want help, he wants someone to fix his problems because it would prove he didn't know something and made a mistake to cause it
