There could be any number of issues here, but a silly yet somewhat common one I've seen people do is plug their monitor into their motherboard video input and not their GPU. Can you confirm your HDMI/DP cable is plugged into your GPU?

If I recall, Tekken 8 has an issue with AMD card. Sit down, it will be long.

Many blank screens or rendering issues (like in Tekken 8) are fixed just by updating GPU drivers.

Install the latest GPU drivers​

• Your RX 7800 XT needs AMD’s latest drivers to run modern games properly.
• Go to: https://www.amd.com/en/support
• Select: Radeon RX 7000 Series => RX 7800 XT => download Adrenalin
• Run the installer, choose the “Factory Reset” option to clean old settings.
• Reboot after install.

Install Windows Updates​

• Press Win + I =>Windows Update => Check for updates
• Install all updates (including optional/driver updates).
• Reboot.

Install essential system drivers​

Your MSI B850M motherboard likely needs:

• Chipset drivers (from AMD)
• Wi-Fi / Bluetooth drivers (from MSI support page)

Go to: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B850M-GAMING-PLUS-WIFI/support
=> Download & install:

• AMD Chipset Driver
• LAN / Wi-Fi drivers
• Audio driver (if needed)

Enable Windows gaming features​

• Go to Settings => Gaming
  1. Game Mode: ON
  2. Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling: ON

Graphics settings => Default GPU: Set to RX 7800 XT

1. Your Tekken 8: Blank Screen

This is a known issue with AMD GPUs + Tekken 8 if drivers or Windows aren’t fully updated.

1. Update GPU drivers (see above).
2. In AMD Adrenalin software:
3. Go to Performance => Tuning => Manual
4. Disable “Radeon Anti-Lag” and “Radeon Boost” (they can cause issues in Tekken 8).
5. Launch Tekken 8 in Borderless Windowed mode (press Alt + Enter if full screen is blank).
6. If still blank: Verify game files in Steam:

Right-click Tekken 8 => Properties => Installed Files => Verify Integrity

2. WWE game: Slow rendering during matches

It suggests that CPU/GPU are not syncing well or that background processes are interfering.

1. Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) => disable startup apps you don’t need.
2. In Windows Power Plan:
   • Search “Power Plan” => Choose “High Performance” or “AMD Ryzen High Performance.”
3. In AMD Adrenalin:
   • Set Texture Filtering => Performance
   • Disable “Enhanced Sync” temporarily (use V-Sync in-game instead)
4. Make sure your monitor refresh rate is set correctly:

Right-click desktop → Display Settings → Advanced → Refresh Rate → 144Hz or max your monitor supports

3. GTA V / GTA Online: “Cannot connect to Rockstar Services.”

Sometimes the issue comes from either:

• Missing Visual C++ redistributables
• Missing .NET Framework
• Windows firewall is blocking Rockstar
• Or the Rockstar Launcher is not running

1. Install all Visual C++ Redistributables (2010 to 2022):
   • Download from Microsoft: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
2. Reinstall Rockstar Games Launcher (even if you use the Steam version)
   • Download: https://www.rockstargames.com/launcher
3. Run Rockstar Launcher as Administrator (right-click → Run as admin)
4. Temporarily disable Windows Defender Firewall to test if it works, and add an exception for Rockstar.

Time to reinstall Windows.

You were right bro, that was the whole issue, i use bhw very less so didn't saw your comment. I have realised that after a month hehehe.

Thank you

I think my gtx 570 won't cut it for the latest games. Hmmm.

classic mistake lol. honestly happens way more than people admit, especially when you get used to macs just working out of the box. glad you got it sorted without reinstalling everything. that 7800xt is gonna feel like a beast now.
