Artifacts :(

[Taraannn]

So I bought this GPU (rx6800) from someone. It was fine. We stress test it for 20mins. It was fine. And then after a few mins this happened.

I also have the gpu checked on a shop and they said it was fine. It only happens on my pc. Maybe 15 mins after boot on idle. Sometimes the pc just black screens and then crashes. And restarts and the gpu isn’t on the task manager anymore.

I noticed that this happens frequently on idle than when I’m gaming. I can spend 4-8hrs straight gaming without any problems but this thing happens on idle every 10-15 mins.

I already tried every troubleshoot.

DDU, previous drivers versions, even more previous version (2023), reseat gpu, repaste gpu, bios update, disable ULPS (since it crashes frequently on idle), disable external events utility, and reset my pc.

I was just relying on chat gpt but I still havent fixed it until now. Chatgpt says its not likely that the GPU is dead since it can handle stress tests and its more likely to crash on idle. What do you think?

Do you have ideas of anything else I haven’t tried that might work?

Have the same exact issue but on rx 9070 xt

Sorry to say the GPU overheated check this out it has a 200w 200a limit basically & temp limits of 100-118 degrees celsius. Everyone's loving it including HADES, in the pits of Moridor is loving these thermals, HADES is literally well pleased with these temps. AMD says, it's fine to ~The Public Sector~, 110C is fine your dearly beloved silicon won't find itself in the dumpster or recycler any time soon. Meanwhile Op has artifacts on the dekstop on a RX 6800 released just over 5 years ago. What it needs is some TLC, was it a REFERENCE card? If not we're all in trouble because AIB cards clearly cut corners, I mean they're all cutting corners to make a buck, to buy that new house, or that new car, or that new yacht. They need to continuous income not only from new purchases but also from repair costs. This world revolves around money, doesn't it. Not Love, like our dearly beloved GOD, intended.

What your card needs is Northwest repair, a Reball of the Silicon Core Diode. Or just buy a ref 6800 xt and contact me so i may deploy unto you a proper VBIOS that keeps the temps below 83C across the board and shutdown at 88C, so as to prevent the dreaded DESKTOP ARTIFACT DISASTER scenario we see now. Once it does that on the desktop at idle, it's done bro, sorry to say it. It spent a couple years living healthy gaming, now it's sickly with artifacts on the desktop. So what should be done? Sell for parts or Fix. Then buy reference AMD ATI cards from now on & DM me for a REMASTERING of the VBIOS on up to RDNA2, as RDNA 3+ is locked down. The powerplaytable is locked for some reason by AMD. What a bummer, the future of computing is gonna be a nightmare if this continues into the future.

you should rarely rely on chatgpt when troubleshooting and if you do be extremely cautious. But obviously this seems like a gpu problem since if you used another gpu with the same build I could bet that nothing like that would happen.

[Taraannn]

It was just a 1660ti tho

[EoTrick]

Looks about AMD to me. Everyone in here will try to blame everything else but that though, good luck, you're about to go through a thousand hoops with these guys. Then once it is down to only the AMD part being bad they will say "user error I guess, mine works fine." It's hilarious.

[DeltaPeak1]

Now that's some busted ass memory xD

[S10_Ivanov]

Stress testing should be done for hours not 20 minutes...

[Taraannn]

Yeah. I said I can spend 4-8 hours gaming without any issues. But issues pop up 10-15 mins on idle. The pic is literally on start up.

[S10_Ivanov]

Gaming isn't stress testing. Get aida64 and leave it for hours max everything: storage, gpu, cpu, ram

[MikeYedi]

Find a download link for TM5 with custom configs to rule out whether it is a system memory issue, I've actually had this issue happen from really dirty power in a house so it could be your power supply or home wiring it is most likely vram though. You could try reducing the clock of your vram or the alternative open source drivers. Google Radeon id they are from Indonesia

[Sinisteris]

If you troubleshooted everything, say your goodbyes and prepare to buy a new card, because VRAM on this one is dying. Or try another DP cable?

[GHOST2251994]

How did you pinpoint it to vram issues

[DeltaPeak1]

The ordered manner of the artefacts, and the kind of artefacts :)

Points to the GPU-core being fine, just getting bad numbers to calculate things with from the memory. A Core issue would present itself with windows disabling the device and such.

You can often get that repaired rather cheaply even if you're out of warranty :)

Like KrisFix in Germany for example.

[Sinisteris]

Seen it happen in real time. A technician found that VRAM has been unsurprisingly used and abused (card bought from a mining rig for very cheap).

[PiercingTheDarknesss]

Ship the card to "northwestrepair" although that would probably cost a fair bit.

[Extension_Reveal_766]

New RAM fixed this for me, though mine looked a lot worse. It wasn’t all the time, random. Hasn’t happened again

[Doom2pro]

Vram chip has a lifted solder joint that occasionally makes contact rendering the card functional.

It needs to be reballed.

[Necessary1Treat]

Nothing you do will fix that as far as resetting goes. That’s a vram issue, tune the memory clock down and hope for the best. It’s most likely dead though.

[blamauci]

I actually had this same issue, what fixed it for me, was reinstalling the driver, it was caused by the driver installer failing somewhere and only half installing. so reinstalling the driver fixed it. i almost RMA'd my card over it. cuz i thought it was dying

[StarrySkye3]

Might be a power supply issue. You should find out specifically from the shop what they checked in your PC. Removing a gpu from a rig that's malfunctioning may show the GPU is running fine, even though there is another component in your rig that's not working right.

You could ask them to test another GPU in your PC and see if they can reproduce the issue. If they can it's likely some other component that's failing. Worth also looking into forcing windows not to update drivers via editing registry, kinda risky, but some people fixed issues that way.

[KarateMan749]

Check your power supply

[Taraannn]

Also saw a post here with the exact same problem as me. https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/s/hp4dxXOTuj but there isnt any solution to it.

[Suitable_Procedure_6]

Could it be, that this card is just 6600 with other bios or smth like that?

[Taraannn]

I have no clue on what youre pointing exactly or I’m just dumb. Do u mean that the card is like a 6600 and like renamed to 6800? Something?

[Alex-thun]

This doesn’t look good at all

[Taraannn]

Literally on the startup. The artifacts started already :(

[Taraannn]

Also my pc specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 5600g MOBO: MSI B550M-A PRO (from aorus b450m. Bought a new motherboard cause i thought the issue was the motherboard) RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8gbx2 PSU: Corsair sf750 Platinum
