Hi everyone,

I just bought a new rig:
i5 4670k Haswell
GTX 760 ASUS CUII OC
500w corsair
Z87 g41 pc mate MSI mobo
Kingston hyperx 1600 mhz ddr 3 ram

What happens when I fire up a game, and start playing the screen shows unusual flickering, and it looks like screentear, but really isn't. It's an active distortion continuing all the time regardless of framerates or what's on screen. It seems like it started after I installed and started using the custom Asus GPU tweaking utility but that was quite fast, and hadn't noticed anything before. Ideas, anyone? I think it might have something to do with adaptive vsync but then again, that's just a wild guess. If I alt tab during a game, the screen flickering continues in windows, but when the game shuts down, and the gpu disengages there's no flickering anymore. I'm clueless as to what it is.

i have the global setting set to adaptive vsync, that should be okay. i'll try with vsync globally on, but that's not the way it's supposed to be i reckon.

i hooked up another monitor to this system, and it also flickers. both dying at the same time is improbable. update; when i use fraps to record the screen, there's no flickering in the video. what the.... i don't get it somehow the screen itself goes weird :S

there are several types of vsync nvidia allows. play with those settings. It could be a driver/overclocking issue, is your card overclocked? if it is remove the overclock and see if the problem goes away. If its not overclocked try an older WHQL driver. If none of those fix it try another monitor cable or monitor. If all of those fail to fix the problem you have a bad gpu, and i'd exercise the warranty. If it's out of warranty coverage for some reason i'd try the oven trick and bake your gpu in the oven at 400F for 10-15 minutes. But that's a last gasp attempt.

i think it started when i tried to overclock it ( and succeeded ) playing crysis, this asus version performs well i must say, but that's pretty much when the screentearing started to happen, with no asus utility installed, and running tomb raider, way before that, i noticed no such thing as screentearing or flickering.

i did a clean windows install, no help, it distorts less maybe. It's hard to describe as well, it looks like hundreds of tiny just barely visual lines that shoot around horizontally in the background, most clearly when there's a scene with a lot of contrast. I think the gpu is somehow bad. Never witnessed this before, nothing helps either. it's also not really vsync, that's working marginally too by the way, but it's like overall quick distortions that are unalterable for some reason.
