EDIT: The solution was that it was freesync. Turned it off on my monitor, and that fixed it.
I recently picked up a used RX 6600xt, and ever since the screen will occasionally freeze for 1-2 seconds before returning to normal. As far as I can tell, input and sound work as normal during these. There’s no real pattern either.
I’m on Mint 21.3 Cinnamon, on the 6.5 kernel (there was a sleep related issue for me in the default kernel version). Since getting the GPU, I’ve replaced the CPU and motherboard.
Any guesses as to what this might be, or where to look? I tried checking mint’s logs app and there didn’t seem to be anything associated with it.
By encryption you mean disk encryption? I’m not using that so hopefully won’t have to do anything
Also I looked up that ftp
um stuttering issue and it doesn’t match with what I’m seeing. It’s not a stutter, just a complete freeze of the screen for a solid second, and then it returns to being completely normal.How sure are you that you didn’t get a card that was used for mining crypto?
Pretty sure, I got it locally on a college campus from someone upgrading their gaming PC
Check to make sure the fan on it is running fast enough (or at all). My previous card had the fan blades fall out, it happens.
Yeah the fan blades are in place, I’ve stress tested it… Don’t see how this is related to the issue at hand though.
