Help, green pixels on new monitor

[Malitha]

the game looks fine on other monitors, there are these weird circles of green pixels in the areas which the lights are hitting (I am not sure if I can post pictures here)

SPECS -
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor
16Gigs of memory
RTX 2060
the monitor is a samsung odyssey g5

Do other games look fine on the Samsung Odyssey G5?

Maybe you want to exchange you monitor cable to one which is better shielded (especially when using HDMI or Displayport, the cables can be often the reason depending on the resolution and frequency used).

Try changing to other frequencies (your monitor is capable of reaching 144 Hz max under the correct circumstances).

Make screenshots from the issue. Does the green weird pixel circles appear on the screenshot? When yes, the error is happening already on your GPU, not the monitor. Everything beyond the GPU (cable, monitor) is not capturable with screenshots.

Too many things can be going wrong with your monitor.

If the screenshot is fine, the game and the GPU is rendering everything ok, the issue is produced after the video stream leaves the GPU, so checking anything with the cable or the monitor settings might help.

Though checking out different frequencies, resolutions or GPU ports to see if the issue can somehow altered can help narrowing down the root of the problem also.

Do you use any custom GPU driver settings? Or any special monitor setup, like multiple screens? Try out running only the Samsung screen and see if the issue persists.

What you have is a rare problem and not easy to come by. Without narrowing down things and try out stuff you won't find the culprit.

are you using the correct cable for the monitor ? are you using an hdmi cable or what ? and have you tried updating the firmware for the monitor ? it fixes alot of software issues when you do that

i have had similar issues before on red dead redemption 2, turned out it was some weird bug with display port on my specific monitor with that game (found other people with my monitor also having issues) I fixed it by getting an hdmi 2.1 cable.

I think the problem was freesync I turned it off and it looks fine now

[Malitha]

Thank you everybody for the suggestions, turning off freesync on my monitor seemed to have fixed the problem

[Kelrycor]

You're welcome. Thanks for letting us know what the reason was in the end :)

I know I'm 2 years late but I have the same problem sometimes, I have freesync off but i found just switching the monitor on and off fixes it
