Hi so I got a brand new pc recently, I’m running a RX6950XT and while the card handles all games I throw at it with ease,
I’m having this one weird problem with World of Warcraft whenever I move my cursor out of the game window to look at something on one of my secondary monitors.
I get this weird GFX artifacts along the bottom of all my secondary screens, this ONLY happens in wow and I have no idea why, and it’s really annoying me.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? It’s my first time in over 20 years I decided to go with team red.
So is there like a setting I need to turn off in their drivers or something?
I have already tried turning all the built-in GPU GFX settings off making sure the GPU is running in default mode, I also tried resetting my in game settings.
As well as disabling all add-ons I also got a brand-new set of VESA certified display port cables for all my monitors just in case, but it’s still acting up I have no idea what might be causing this, and it’s only happening in wow all other games and applications runs fine.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Dual monitor setups are not supported by Blizzard for WoW. Or at least, they never used to be, that might have changed.
“Not supported” doesn’t mean they won’t work, it just means that they won’t offer any support for any problems that arise as a result of using a dual monitor setup.
I hope for your sake that they have changed that policy, but I don’t expect that they have.
I’m pretty sure that is just for running wow across multiple monitors at the same time.
Not just running the game on one screen and using the others for multitasking.
I’m pretty sure, at this point, there are more people running multiple displays then they are people running a single monitor I also had 0 issues running multiple displays before I got my new pc
I figured out what’s causing if it’s the direct x 12 version that blizzard games use it does not play well with AMD for whatever reason, just wish I did not have to take a performance hit to have the game run properly cause the hardware can handle it with ease
thats artifacting. you got a bad graphics card. drop your memory clocks and see if it stops. if not then drop the gpu core clock 50Mhz and see if it stops. the reason DX11 stops the issue is because DX12 uses low level hardware access.
dont know. maybe its not clocking fully or your drivers are bad. i have played wow on several AMD and Nvidia card ranging from 2009-2019 and not a single one did that.
Yeah, it’s so weird considering both me and my friend are running the same model GPU from a different manufacturer both of them have the exact same problem it makes no sense and the fact that it only happens in blizzard games primary wow and D4
try backing down your GPU core clock 50Mhz and see what it does. just because it doesnt happen in other games doesnt mean its not faulty. i had a GTX 1080 Ti that would only crash in doom 2016 but no other game. and it did turn out to be faulty.
well windows 10 has forced VSYNC on the desktop and it is a known issue, try knocking down your primary to 60Hz and see if it still happens. ive not seen that artifacting but i have had driver crashes and random weird issues because i was running a 144Hz primary and a 60Hz secondary.
unfortunately no. its hardcoded into the DWM (desktop Windows Manager) it’s just another thing that you have to put up with if you use windows 10 or higher.
