Hello TechPowerUp Community,
I'm writing to seek some advice on a persistent issue I'm experiencing with a newly built PC. I'm starting to doubt it's a graphics card problem, despite initially suspecting it.
My System Specifications:Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080Processor: Intel Core Ultra 7 356KRAM: 32GB DDR5 (5200MHz Kignston)Motherboard: (Gigabyte Z890 EAGLE WIFI7)Storage: (x2 NVMe Kingston KC3000, x1 NVMe Samsung)Power Supply: (CORSAIR Fuente RM1000e)Operating System: Tested with Windows 10 and Windows 11
The Problem: I'm encountering that many textures take longer than what would be considered normal to load to their full resolution, often only when I am practically face-to-face with them. Similarly, I am experiencing issues with objects appearing very abruptly and almost out of nowhere – the well-known graphical 'pop-in' effect for many objects, as if the LOD (Level of Detail) configuration were set to its minimum.
Troubleshooting Steps Already Taken:
Clean Graphics Driver Reinstallation: I have completely uninstalled the graphics drivers using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in Safe Mode and reinstalled the latest NVIDIA drivers from scratch. I have also tried older driver versions.
Operating System Reinstallation: I have performed a full format and fresh installation of both Windows 10 and, subsequently, Windows 11. The issue persists across both operating systems.Alternative
Graphics Card Tested: To rule out the new RTX 5080, I installed a known-good RTX 3090 into the system. Unfortunately, the exact same problem occurred with the RTX 3090.System Monitoring: I have run various stress tests and monitoring software (e.g., HWMonitor, MSI Afterburner, Cinebench, 3DMark etc.).
Throughout all tests, the system shows: No CPU or GPU overheating. No signs of CPU or GPU bottlenecks. No component appears to be overutilized or hitting 100% usage in an abnormal way leading up to the issue. Voltages appear stable. Given that the issue persists even with a different GPU and across fresh OS installs, I am now highly skeptical that the RTX 5080 is the culprit.
Has anyone in the community experienced similar elusive problems with a new build, particularly with comparable high-end components? After all the standard troubleshooting, I'm at a loss as to what could be causing this, especially since the system isn't flagging any obvious errors like overheating or clear bottlenecks.
Any insights or suggestions for further troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
