I am facing this weird dashing effect, which may turn me blind

Can anyone tell whether this issue is occurring because of monitor or GPU and how I can possibly solve it

Hello

The problem you’re facing could be due to several reasons, including your monitor, GPU, or even the settings on your Windows 11 system. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and possibly resolve the issue:

 

Check Your Resolution and Scaling Settings: If the texts or images you see are pixelated or dashed, first of all, check if you are using a lower resolution. When you use a lower resolution, Windows crops quite a lot making the images pixelated. To change the settings, you need to open Settings by pressing Win + I, go to System > Display, and check if the Display Resolution is set to the default resolution. Now, check the Scale option and ensure that the default value is set.

 

Update Graphics Drivers: Sometimes, incompatible or outdated graphics drivers can make texts and sometimes, even images, look pixelated. You can use any of the following methods to update your Graphics Drivers. You can install Driver and Optional Update or use tools like AMD Driver Autodetect.

 

Reinstall Graphics Drivers: In case, the issue persists even after updating the Graphics Drivers, there is a high chance that the driver installed on your computer is corrupted. You can resolve the issue by reinstalling the same driver.

 

Configure Performance Options: Try opening the “Font Settings” page in Windows 11 to make sure you have not changed the font rendering settings. You can try toggling the “Anti-Aliasing” setting or setting it to the default value.

 

Check Your Graphics Card: GPU can crash for various reasons, including outdated drivers, overclocking, overheating, or faulty power supply. To fix it, you need to update graphics drivers to the latest version and reduce the load on GPU.
