Brixton Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) HEY GUYS! Its Brixton! I help a lot of you now its time for one or some of you to help me! While IN GAME only, every 5-15 minutes usually every 5 or so my screen will turn black when im driving or running around. I feel like this is a graphics issue. It cant be my drivers because I just uninstalled all my graphical drivers and reinstalled them. i7-3770 (Will upgrade this eventually to a 9700k) Radeon RX 580 16GB DDR3 25X 144HZ Monitor (X2 Additional Monitors currently offline to fix graphical errors) Vsync Off, FreeSync on - Graphical settings all set to "High" DirectX11 1920x1080 Res with 16:9 Aspect Ratio GPU overclocked - testing CPU overlclock but no difference noticable from that and issue till Constantine. Does anyone have any clue as to why my game would turn black and back on every so often? Only happens IN GAME. The game is still very smooth and playable with 75-95 FPS but still blackscreen issues. Usual FPS is up to 200 without Vsync and Freesync FPS Normally around 75-95 with FreeSync on 50-85 with Vsync and Freesync on. Ive googled this issue for days and tried everything I could, Time to ask some real pros... GAMERS! Thanks for anything!!

Emulsify Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Hey man, does this happen on every game or just GTA? If it is just GTA try it on single-player and let us know if it is the same. Also what is your cooling like? What temps does your GPU get up to when gaming? Also check if your power pins are plugged into your GPU fully. Edited September 12, 2019 by Emulsify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimo Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Hey, I believe I had a similar issue and it was happening in other games as well. I'm pretty sure this can be resolved in your Power Options on your Windows PC. I think by default Balanced is selected so if power is needed else where it'll take it from somewhere else.. in this case your monitor display. Try changing this to High Performance then change the plan settings so both options in there are set to Never. Give it a test run and see if this has sorted it for you.

Emulsify Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Also try disabling your overclock, i think that may be the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out I never even overclocked my CPU, thought I did but never saved so that wont be it either. Happens overclocked or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emulsify Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Your GPU overclock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xypint Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Try having 2 monitors, one with task manager open and see what spikes when the screen goes black. Try using a different cable as well. Could also be your monitor, hook something else up and see if the same issue occurs. (Ex. Another computer/gaming console) Try using a different monitor port and/or output port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiorgosK Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Hello . RX 580 has temp problems i use the same card for eclipse . This is the temp with full graphics and fan duty on 100% http://prntscr.com/p5b80u imagine now playing 10-15 mins with fan on 25-40% (fan default settings sucks) download an overclock program and make the fan spin faster when it reached 60C 65C and 70C max speed . Screen goes black and sometimes windows cant recover the card and the pc needs to be restarted , Keep you graphics card cool with more fans there is nothing else you can do! http://prntscr.com/p5bb43 Edited September 12, 2019 by GiorgosK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brixton Posted September 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 I think I fixed this by ramping my GPU overclock by extending the fan speed and making the power limit +50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asiantator Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 I had this issue with a brand new 1070 and it took me months to finally figure it out. Bad PCIe cable. Had my card vertically mounted and the cable was bad causing flickering. direct mounted to MB and havent had an issue since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if this specifically would of been the issue and why would this have caused it? I tested this IG for 10 minutes with no issue. So I willl say it’s probably fixed but not 100 percent certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emulsify Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Your problem may have been fixed with overclock. It may have not been getting enough power to begin with and therefore flickering black. It could have also been the fans with the temperature but that is less likely. My recommendation is too raise the power limit to as far as it can go, this won’t effect every day power use or the overclock, it just ensures that it won’t happen again. With the bad pcie slot, that may just have been a bad cable which can cause problems usually further down the line of constant use or right after adjustment. This all happened to me awhile ago and it was due to me not plugging one of the power connectors into my GPU fully hence the similar experience in general. Best of luck and I hope it stays fixed.

Nah legit nothing any of us tried works. You wanna know what it was? Should I tell ya? Ok I will tell ya! It was Freesync! Who would of thought....Freesync was causing this issue the hole time.... And I baught this expensive ass monitor for freesync specifically and the 144hz. Well at least I can still enjoy the 144 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
