Hi,
I have had my computer for about 3 months now and had no problems until recently a game that i play ALOT (Counter Strike Global Offensive) started flickering..

It's like the bottom half of the screen and the flickers are usually green.. I tried limiting my FPS to 300 which seemed to fix it for about a week but now its doing it again and i'm really worried..

Would this be a GPU problem? How can I find the cause? Should I contact the seller for warranty?

Thanks..


P.S.. i have tried other games and seem to have no problem with them

it also seems when browsing on google chrome that it flickers a bit when i scroll fast.. dunno if its related

Specs:
i5 4670 3.4ghz
HD7790
8GB ram
1TB seagate HD
windows 7

It's a generally accepted measure for brain speed that I haven't tested out myself :p
Since increasing the resolution solved the problem, I guess it was indeed the high FPS that caused it, or your GPU/monitor driver didn't really support the below-native resolution.

I'm sorry about the late reply but of this problem hasn't been solved yet, this is my opinion.

GPU temp is fine, but try setting max framerate back to 80 or 100. Your brain will actually only keep up with 60 fps or lower (with anything lower than 30 being clearly noticable) This will save both power and temps, and may fix stability issues.

Secondly, has the GPU been overclocked? A bad OC van cause these issues.

thanks for your reply.. i no longer have the issue, i fixed it by changing the resolution to a higher one (no idea how that works) , but i felt the need to reply just to disagree with your statement about what the brain can comprehend :p I can most certainly tell the difference between 60 FPS and 120+ FPS, if we couldn't there would be no point to 120/144HZ monitors
