Looks like an overheating GPU.

Source: had a few GPUs overheat in my day.

edit: To be clear I'm not saying it's definitely overheating GPUs.. but.. it's probably something like that.. a hardware failure isolated to specific units.

yeah, that was my thought as well. I am curious what kind of ventilation these people have setup for their new consoles. These bad boys need room to breathe, squeezing them into a cabinet where they barely fit would cause overheating.

[itsjustJEFF]

Launch day hype! What a weird glitch. I've been lucky, I haven't seen anything like that on my end. I guess my PS5 isn't one of the overclocked ones

We still on this narrative that Sony some how were able to rework their APU at the last minute to closer compete with Series X? The disrespect, I never pretend to know how to do another persons job. I've had it done to me on numerous occasions, the fact is if you don't do it or have never done it, you don't know. That like when regular joe's challenge pro's... the hilarity of it.

 

[DynamiteCop!]

Like clockwork.

I really hope this is a pun.

 

[Nvzman]

This can be the work of a bad HDMI cable, I've had the same issue using an original Xbox HDMI converter. I don't think this is the GPU crapping out, usually theres a lot more distortion.

 

[iHaunter]

All users confirmed to have HDMI 2.1 cables?

 

[FrankWza]

that’s what I’m thinking

 

[NEbeast]

So it has nothing to do with overclocking then, the xbox has a bog standard clock. It's just faulty hardware, as expected at every launch.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

You guys are really touchy lol, I merely said this looks like what happens when VRAM is clocked to high, the identical thing happens.

Slow your roll.

Sony should hire you

 

[poodaddy]

I had a similar issue, though not to this degree, on a PS3 fat boi back in the day. Sent it in to Sony, got it back in 3 weeks and it was fine. Sucks, but hey that's hardware for ya. I've had to RMA several GPU's before and even a motherboard, it sucks but shit happens. Here's hoping their RMA turn around times are pretty decent right now.

 

[alucard0712_rus]

Wow! Glitches are similar to PS5. Very interesting. Can it be RDNA2 bug?

 

[phil_t98]

Lot's of concerned Xbox folks making threads to scare people. Keep up the good work, Phil is watching.

"Report me if I continue to console war"

same with the threads of smoking xboxes by playstation fans

 

[silent head]

 

[Outrunner]

Because the other two threads weren't enough.

 

[GustavoLT]

it´s because of that liquid metal thing!

 

[DynamiteCop!]

Yeah that's data corruption in the VRAM.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

"wow yep 8 people out of millions have experienced issues. time to make a thread about it and claim it is some widespread thing"

this console war shit is so annoying

 

[LisaMariaMartin]

Looks like a GPU issue.

The other problems point to firmware though. PS5 seems buggier than PS4 at launch, thats for sure.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

 

[FrankWza]

And......here come the console architects that have never been right one time in any post in any thread ever.

 

[GHG]

Looks like what happens when you overclock your ram too high.

 

[Pagusas]

Yep, what it likely means is AMD is providing chips that are *just* passing QA then faulting out.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I really hope this is a pun.

Glad someone picked up on that.

 

[Kuranghi]

These people just have tons of bees in their house.

 

[Night.Ninja]

Looks like faulty catch scrubbers, the SSD is streaming in the high resolution textures to fast for the GPU, probably needs a firmware update.

 

[kuncol02]

I have no idea why you posted two tweets from one user. His console is obviously broken and it will not become more or less broken with more tweets.

Wow! Glitches are similar to PS5. Very interesting. Can it be RDNA2 bug?

No that's just how faulty GPU works. That's how it looks when you overclock your card to much and is unstable (depending on how much you overclocked raising voltage helps) or when you are unlucky and get GPU broken from start.

 

[Faithless83]

Look where the genius (his twitter handle means xbot ) put his PS5:

Please be smart of where you put a USD400+ machine.
This is the equivalent of putting a PC case inside a cardboard box.

 

[RoboFu]

So it has nothing to do with overclocking then, the xbox has a bog standard clock. It's just faulty hardware, as expected at every launch.

nah its overheating in both cases. which could be because of manufacturing defects or bad chips. OC would basically just make a overheating system overheat even more.

 

[Rien]

Like overclockwork.

FTFY

 

[Iorv3th]

Warranties exist for a reason. People (a small percentage) are going to have failures of every product and it's going to have to be replaced/fixed. Welcome to the modern world.

The internet blows this shit way out of proportion though.

 

[Orutisu Furio]

As the title implies, Some PS5 users have a problem of visual artifacts

that’s not a good sign. I could be wrong but it looks like a hardware issue.

 

[Holammer]

Looks like the GPU is on the fritz on those videos. Reminds me of what happened to my 290x, it started showing similar artifacts that got progressively worse until it crapped itself.

 

[kuncol02]

What? That's probably best case scenario for PS5. Lots of free space on all sides and nothing blocking airflow. If PS5 is overheating with this conditions then it should be recalled from market.

 

[MrS]

It sucks this is happening to PS5 and XSX owners alike. Very disappointing.

I don't think you have a grasp on how this system intakes and exhausts air...

 

[HawksWinStanley]

That sucks for everybody who has to deal with warranties/exchanges. Always a bummer when you wait so long for a console launch and then get stuck with a hassle like this.

I used to work in a shop where they sell those black glass stands. They are like £50 and when they are discontinued (For a "new model" which literally looks the exact same) its too much hassle/money to transport them somewhere for sale so they just had to smash them all out the back with a sledge hammers.

Fucking mental waste but also very fun to smash them to pieces. Sometimes we would inhale helium from one of those big cannisters before we did it and laugh maniacally with high pitched voices. Good/Stupid times.

 

[01011001]

that looks like an instability in the GPU.
could be a batch of chips that simply can't handle the high frequencies, but chips like that should have been identified and thrown out during production.

seems like a few slipped through

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

But everyone want the next gen right now right? .

I tell you guys... Ps4 can be in the battle of consoles until 2021 but Nooooo..... Every person want a next gen in this year.

And this is the reason that I was afraid that ps5 coming in 2020

Now... We have to wait until this errores are fixed.

 

[geordiemp]

All consoles will have about 0.5 to 1 % failure rate

And with modern social media trolls will post every one on GAF

Luckily we are not all mentally deficient.

 

[dorkimoe]

this is the six time i have seen the same tweets from xbox fans ,both consoles hace faulty units,that happens on every generation

Nah, only the console of the manufacturer you dont prefer has issues. Clearly.

 

[Javthusiast]

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

 

[Armorian]

I saw something like this when I oced my gpu (7970?) Too high.

Is this your first console launch ever?

 

[ThatOneGrunt]

I don't understand why people are acting so triggered in this discussion. There's nothing controversial in the title or the original post of this thread. Just saying some are experiencing issues. Why the eruption of console warring?

Post histories and site rep are a thing.

 

[01011001]

I had something like that happen when my 1070's power cable was slightly loose... shortly after the artifacting started the whole image would become black and the fans on the card went all crazy lol.

reseating the card and firmly connecting the power cable fixed it.

it also started happening as I overclocked it too hard tho, as that's what exposed the unreliable power delivery through the slightly loose cable.

 

[cucuchu]

So if it is an issue with overclocking the GPU too high, wouldn't these issues be more common? I'm not 110% familiar with how these machines are built, but I'm assuming that all PS5's are OC'd the same. Maybe its a synthetic lottery situation, where technically the GPU's should be able to sustain but some of the cards are going to be duds.

No issues w/ mine just yet, XSX or PS5. *Slight* coil whine under load w/ PS5 but nothing compared to what I've heard from a few AMD/NVIDIA GPU's in the last 4 to 5 years.

No.



Its called 0.5 to 1 % consumer electronics failing. And people that are concerned are just trolls (or not knowledgeable, take your pick)

Yeah, it has to be faulty chips. If it was because the chip couldn't handle it then every ps5 would be doing the same. There are reports of the xsx doing the same, with a much lower clock, it's clearly just faulty hardware.
