Graphical delay, sound normal, AMD card

[Brian Alex]

I have been experiencing choppy, delayed graphics on Mint 22.3 fully updated. Even as I type this I have to wait brief moments to see the letters appear. In games it is intolerable. I pinged the source of one game and the readings were fine (Average 9 ms) but the display of the readings were being delayed by up to ~.5 seconds. I just clicked the link in "Anyone Like Classical" here and the sound is fine but the video pauses.

I have an AMD card (Radeon RX 640). Is there something that a beginner like me can do to identify and correct the cause of this? I just restarted the machine and it is back to normal so maybe it's not a big deal. I have had this on and off for some months.

What graphics card do you have, and where did the driver come from ?

I just restarted the machine and it is back to normal

video can pause when you run low on RAM, please check your RAM usage.

That gpu only has 2GB vram.

I would check how much vram your system is using with "nvtop", install it if it's not installed.

sudo apt install nvtop
