Pixelated areas on screen

darksiderpt · Jan 16, 2016

Hello,

I'm posting this under the graphic card area because i'm not sure where the problem is, but i'm sure it isnt from the monitor or display. This i noticed when fallout 4 came out, 2 days after a new monitor i ordered arrived, when i started playing the game i noticed several areas of the loading screen having diferent color grading very noticeble, as in, a normal screen would have degrees of dark green to black, and i could see pixelated areas between color gradiants. This however does not happen in all games or images, but weeks ago i came across some facebook photos and noticed an intesse pixelated zone in pictures that had black spots or areas, could be a piece of clothes, could just be a background, and this problem wasn't noticeble before, so i assumed it was the monitor and had it to repair.

It came back with no flaws, and meanwhile i tried my lcd tv with hdmi and still same problem on the dark areas, but i have no other gpu to test if this is the problem, but hdmi or dvi-vga the pixelated zones exist, i have two links of two images i took with my phone and two links of the original ones so you can see the same i see and the difference.

PS: I tried seeing images and pictures on other computers and that problem doesnt exist so picture quality was also ruled out, i'm just no sure if it can be a gpu issue.

looks like wrong color depth

set to 32-bit color

darksiderpt · Jan 16, 2016

I have it 1366 by 768, True Color (32 Bits), 60Hertz

That's why i don't understand it, i dont have a higher depth than that, but i also looked into it :/

The image itself has the compression artifacts and is just being accentuated by display settings.

The thing is this happens not only on facebook pictures, i can see these shadowy pixels only on pictures, but i can see the gradiant change, the color depth, on some games, for example the nvidia logo animation on some games i can see the various tones of green, on a recent game Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen or how it is spelled, i can see the cape of the character which is supposed to be red, in decaying degrees of red and orange..

k1114 · Jan 16, 2016

Yes, colors will change because of display settings. What's your specs?

darksiderpt · Jan 16, 2016

k1114 :

LG Monitor @ 1366x768 (max display)
Asus R9 270x 2gb direct II oc edition
8gb ddr3 1333Hz ram
intel i5 4570 @ 3.2 Ghz

Check all of the color and display settings in crimson. You could also try to use ddu and reinstall the drivers.

k1114 :

all of my color settings on the ccc are by default, and all i could move none worked in the color depth problem. And how could i do a clean uninstall of the drivers? rolling back to the default one i guess

k1114 · Jan 16, 2016

That still leaves residual files which is why ddu is necessary.

darksiderpt · Jan 17, 2016

k1114 :

I'm sorry for the ignorance but ddu is display driver uninstaller right? but each one has one or is it a program that works on any?

k1114 · Jan 17, 2016

http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html Works on any.

darksiderpt · Jan 17, 2016

k1114 :

tried it, reinstalled crimson, even tried the beta drivers, but doesnt seem to have solved anything

k1114 · Jan 17, 2016

Check to see if it's using srgb color profile. Windows also has color options. If it happened after installing fallout, reinstall anything it installed like it might have installed .net, c++ redist, and directx.

darksiderpt · Jan 17, 2016

I'll try it tomorrow in the morning to see if that fixed anything. On the monitor color management in windows, it says something like virtual profile model sRGB, and all other options of profiles bellow have sRGB too selected.

k1114 :

Sorry for the delay, had some exams and study and couldnt come here to reply, i updated all, the only one i had to update was .net, dx and c++ where up to date, and today i found an old gpu to test it, it was in good shape and still i'd get those dark pixelated areas, plus i tried with my lcd tv with the hdmi input and still same so cables and gpu seem to be of the problem, so i was thinking, could it be the pci-e on the mobo causing somewhat bad images?

k1114 · Jan 24, 2016

Corrupt data wouldn't just change the color. Do you have a spare flash drive maybe you can just load up linux and rule out any software related issues.

darksiderpt · Jan 24, 2016

k1114 :

i tried using VMware, installed fresh ubuntu, some images still have some minor pixelization but the ones that were worse, now seem better. but i have all the drivers updated, and already tried the beta drivers, same result.. but i don't see anyone else complaining so it can't be a general problem right?

k1114 · Jan 24, 2016

It's definitely your windows. But like I said, those images have compression artifacts so the pictures themselves are just being accentuated by color settings. Some setting was changed and if you used ddu then it's window's settings.
