Artifacting and Coloured Pixels - ARC B580 - Driver 32.0.101.6256

P0LAR0 — Fri, 10 Jan 2025 13:14:04 GMT

Hello

I've been having issues with textures in certain games (namely WarThunder, the only game that I've tested so far) on my LE Intel ARC B580. I assumed it was simply an issue with the game as it's notoriously buggy, but then I noticed the strange Pink Pixels occasionally popping up on my screen which made me believe it was a bigger issue. I'll attach my screenshot of the artifacts from WarThunder and the Graphics Config File too.

Also, the Pink pixels happen on the desktop and in discord regardless of whether I have a game open or not, and they also don't always happen (they go away if I resize/minimize the window for example)

The texture corruption/artifact Is hard to notice in the 2nd picture (Screenshot 2025-01-10 190959) because it was at a distance, the texture was supposed to be dirt particles but was instead square strips. The first image I'm not even sure what it was supposed to be

Sincerely

P0LAR

Hey Michael,

Firstly, Thank you for the response
1. it's quite difficult to capture, as it happens very sporadically and randomly, however if I can I will record it
2. My power supply is an MSI MAG A550BN 550Watt Power supply (https://www.msi.com/Power-Supply/MAG-A550BN)

3. I am using the Gaijin Launcher for WarThunder

4. I've attached the SSU Log to this reply

I've also noticed that Minecraft Java edition runs quite poorly (my old AMD rx6600xt and RX570 have better frame rates) could that be an issue as well?

Sincerely

P0LAR0

Hello P0LAR0,

Thank you for the update.

Before we proceed, let me say that the recommended PSU wattage is at least 600 W. Kindly refer to the link below:

Hey Michael

Thanks for the response
I'll buy a new powersupply ASAP, would using a lower wattage PSU deal any permanent damage?

I believe this could be the cause of all my pc's issues...

Hey Michael
I've managed to capture some footage of some related issues, I've attached them to this message, the video is of an unusual texture/shadow issue which has just started today, and the image is of an issue I've been having since the beginning

note in the image the purple pixels, the red is just for privacy of my friends

I've also captured another image of the shader issue however it's too large to upload, so let me know how I should upload it and if it's needed at all
