Applications flickering with new 30xx GPU

Hardware GPU
1

Hey guys, so I’ve recently upgraded to a new build, which runs on AMD 5950x + 3060 GPU. I have a HDMI connected to a Dell monitor, and DP onto a BenQ monitor (in portrait mode) both at 60hz. Geforce driver is currently running on 466.77 version.

My situation is that when Chrome/Word/etc are opened in the Benq monitor, the top bar flickers intermittantly. I have tried turning off hardware acceleration to no avail. Meanwhile, the applications opened in the Dell monitor which is connected via HDMI has no issues. I have yet to try the connection with HDMI instead of DP as I don’t have a spare HDMI cable atm. I hope this could be the simple shortcut solution.

I hope to solve this however as I am looking to increase the number of screen, which inevitably will be via DP. I have read similar experiences with the latest GPUs over the last 12 months from the 20s-30s Nvidia GPUs, but I haven’t found anyone whose reported a relatively successful workaround.

I was wondering how people manage this.

TIA.

You have a crap dp cable, swap dp cables

Replaced with a new HDMI and DP cable, issues continue to persist. I wonder if it is an issue with my monitor, its an “old” 2016 Benq monitor…

Can you get some cel phone video of it happening?

There you go.
So I have the monitor on portrait mode. The right edge/what was the top of the monitor, flickers as you can see.

I’m starting to think this is a monitor issue…
At idle, with no windows in the portrait monitor, the flicker doesn’t happen.

But since i am currently on dark mode, i can see that its not just the corners, but the entire top bar area.

Try some different refresh rates like 59hz instead of 60hz?

Cru let’s you make custom resolutions which might be handy
