Good Morning Everyone!
I recently upgraded my PC from a GTX 1080 to an RX 7900 XTX. The performance boost is massive however the graphics / shaders are very grainy and I'm hoping to get help finding a solution. The grainy look is visible on every game I have played on (Satisfactory, Boulders Gate 3, FFXIV, Cyber Punk, Starfield, MSFS). And though the gameplay has been really nice, the graphics and grainy look has been distracting me and feels bad. I appreciate any assistance!
This I have tried already:
1) DDU and clean reinstall of the driver
System Specs:
Monitor: Samsung Odyssey G7 LC27G75TQSNXZA 27" Quad HD 2560x1440 2K
MB: ASUS TUF Gaming Z-690 Plus
CPU: Intel Core i9-12900KF
GPU: SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 7900 XTX
RAM: T-Force Vulcan 32GB (2x16GB)
Power: Rosewill SMG 1050W
Solved! Go to Solution.
Turn off Image sharpening .. I think that was the setting that caused what you are describing'ish that I messed with back when I was running a 5700xt and thought Hunt:Showdown looked "grainy".. it's been off ever since
Unrelated but good to do:
Make sure your motherboard's BIOS is up to date
Make sure you have the latest Intel chipset drivers from Intel.com website (just run their driver update utility to make sure all your Intel bits and pieces are up to date)
Make sure you are running separate power cables from your power supply to each power input on your GPU

Thank you for the reply!
After spending most of the day trouble shooting it is the Anti Aliasing and Sharpening. I'm just happy its not an issue with the graphics card, but also annoyed I cant simply set everything to "Ultra" and have the game be ready to go.
Now I have to watch youtube videos on how to set up the graphic settings for games. =[
Bro why would someone turn of image sharpening. I understand why some lower it and some higher it to make pictures more 3d and dont mind some artifacts. But a picture without Image sharpening looks horrible blured and flat. Unless you are less than 20 cm away from your screen.
Not very helpful, but you should have stayed with your 1080, amd adrenalin is garbage. I have upgraded from my old 3080 founders ed to this RX 7900 XTX & I will be going back to nvidia asap.... Stay away from amd gpu's
