Hey guys,
I'm getting some ugly graphical artefacts when gaming in fullscreen. The effect applies on most of my games, and has been present for maybe a year or so. Updating GPU drivers have not been helpful. Don't know when exactly it started appearing or why. So the thing is, when I'm gaming in fullscreen-mode (does not matter if it's exclusive fullscreen or not) moving objects get this odd black edge/shadow around them, almost like motion blur but just black. Check out the screenshot below from Shadow of the Tomb Raider. It's taken as I moved the camera from right to left, and as you can see, all objects get this black smudge/shadow that drags along. If I alt-tab out of the game and back in, the effect is gone for a brief moment, then the screen makes a tiny flicker and the black smudge/shadow effect kicks in again. This makes me suspect this might related to some sort of software issue? The effect is not present if I play in windowed mode. This is really annoying, has been bothering me for a long time, but I just don't know how to fix this. Can anyone help me?
For the record, my GPU is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070, driver version 441.66.
Screenshot showing black shadows/smudge, see the man's hat and the very visible black shadow to its right.
Screenshot while in windowed mode. No black smudge/shadows. Nice and smooth.
In-game graphics settings.
Nvidia global and game settings (apologize for the Norwegian text, hopefully most of it is reasonably understandable (av = off, på = on).
Thanks,
Ole
