Why so many artifacts the game is unplayable

[arvine17]

Any ways to reduce/elimate the artifacts? I have amd rx580 and set all settings to medium, at first no artifacts but after a 30minutes artifacts will appear.

2nd question how to force the update?, i believe i skip it the first time i install the game.

Get a better gpu or play on low settings

You cant skip an update its mandatory they will auto update everytime you launch the game

Why the game shows many artifacts? or unwanted graphics problem

First of all, I reinstalled the game twice now, check my GPU drivers its up to date but still the game shows many artifacts, I tried lowering the game to low to test but still it shows many artifacts. Im pretty sure my GPU is working well since I can play my other PC games like WARNO in high settings but with no success with NBA2k25.

I just want to play My Career and restore LA to its former glory lol

My Specs:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G 3.90GHz
Graphics: AMD Radeon RX580 8GB
RAM: 16GB @3200MHz
Storage: SSD 500GB

I think I fairly meet the minimum requirements here

TIA

You should never use minimum requirements when deciding on playing a game, One google search would tell you not to use this gpu for NBA 2k25 Other users like you have had issues with RX580 on NBA 2k25

but i experience no FPS drop at medium its just that some weird graphic artifacts appear from time to time at first the characters looks ok then they start shirtless then head less lol, and the VRAM meter built in the game is only using 2gb out of 8gb in total in video settings, I guess, my GPU is not supported.

yeah graphics weirdness like that is usually when your card is working too hard. As you say its ok for the first 30 mins or so maybe it takes that long to heat up too much and be overwhelmed. If that was mine id know that meant i needed a new gpu, you might get away with struggling by with it a while longer till it fully gives in.

thank you I should have bought 2k24 then, I saw youtube vids it works perfectly fine in my GPU, or this is a sign my GPU is dying 😅

Are you getting artefacts in any other games? If so, your GPU is on it's way out.

Oh good to hear, hopefully your card is ok then and just a bit overworked with the extra settings as oppposed to being on the way out. Happy ballin' xd
