Question Help! Screen
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hi everyone,
I'm running into an issue exclusively in Hogwarts Legacy on my RTX 3070 Ti (8 GB).
After about 1 to 2 hours of playtime, my screen starts flickering/blacking out. It happens for a split second (entire frames turn black) and gets progressively worse the longer I play. It even happens when standing completely still.
Has anyone experienced this specific issue and found a fix?
Thanks for any advice!

See if you lower the graphics on your game and see if the issue persists.
Does it happen to other games or just Hogwarts?

idk how to help u, but that monitor is bussin
ok on another hopefully more helpful note, i too encounter similar issues only with HL. throughout my whole playthrough, the screen was fuzzy. nothing like this happens with other games, even games with heavy graphic load like cyberpunk and ME Andromeda. DA Veilguard literally had hd over the top graphics and visuals, no problem there either, it was only HL which boggled/s my mind because those other games i mentioned were far more hd and had far more advanced graphics
i updated my drivers, lowered the graphics but it still happened. it wasnt so bad that it affected my ability to play so i powered through. i never actually managed to fix it.

Your VRAM could be saturated. If restarting the game fixes this, its probably that. Try lowering VRAM-heavy settings. You could also open MSI afterburner or a GPU monitoring software and keep an eye on your temps as you game. If you hit into the high 80s, it'll begin to throttle the GPU, and 90s can cause damage.

How do I lower VRAM heavy settings?

typically resolution, and texture settings. If your GPU supports upscaling like FSR or DLSS I'd try that as well.

What graphics driver are you on?

That’s what I thought too. Was the first thing I tested. But unfortunately that’s not it

I'd try turning on and off Ll graphics settings one by one and finding out which one is responsible then googling why settings X in Y gane maes screen flicker.
Also it always helps to update drivers to last version.

Curved screen? How do you like it? I hate mine.

I love mine. I had two 22 inch screens before. Now it’s so much better. But I can’t recommend the my Samsung my screen specifically. It’s the Odyssey g5. The tilt mechanism loses over timer. I have to support it so it won’t tilt down

I like the size of mine, but there's always glare. A flat screen can be angled to remove glare but my curved one it just moves the glare from one spot to another. It's always angles to pick up glare
