Hi, this is just a minor irritation but I would like to solve it and know the cause.

 

A few weeks ago, I bought a new Graphics Card (Palit Geforce RTX 2070 Dual 8GB. It works fine, but I noticed something that had not occurred before getting the card. Paused images, in YouTube for instance, acquire a white fuzzy covering, as in screen grab 1.

 

Grab 2 shows it, not on the actual video being paused, but at the browser edges. I have also just noticed it happen on opening this site too.

 

I am presuming that this is a setting but obviously not sure. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello Ste,

 

Possibly something to do with the internet connection.

 

Do you do any offline gaming that you could pause and grab a screenshot that you could upload for us.

Hi, thanks for the response. I only have one game and no way to pause it on or off line (the screen changes to a menu) but it has never been an issue with the game. It is only browser images that I have noticed.

The above supports what was suggested in that this is related to the internet in some way and that I`m afraid is beyond your control, keep in mind that you are freezing a signal that is being sent to your computer so there would be expected to be some sort of imperfection in the display.

 

You can download and run Valley and get a screenshot or two of that, if there are no problems there you have nothing to worry about.

Hi, I downloaded ‘Valley’ as suggested. I wasn’t sure what to do with it so I set it to ‘Extreme’ and just watched. I saw good quality sharp video with slight jerkiness which doesn’t happen in the game I have, so I presume that’s the nature of that program. I have attached a screenshot which isn’t really of good quality but there were no apparent problem.

 

I have noticed that the frosty problem seems to happen randomly and without a video being paused it shows up on the edges of the browser as in image two from my previous post.

I originally thought, as it started happening after installing the new video card that it may be down to a setting.  It is no big deal, so I reckon I’ll have to put up with it. Thanks for your help.

Nothing amiss with your GPU which is good news at least.

 

One other suggestion for you before you go if you don`t mind.

 

Try another browser, if using Edge, FF or Opera try Chrome, if already using Chrome try FF or Opera etc.

 

You are welcome btw
