Hello. Got a problema after i installed new GTX 970 GPU (model "GV-N970G1 GAMING-4GD").
The more games are demanding, the more flickering on screen like in this example

just less intensive... it's annoying.
Any ideas why?

Nop. I did not do any overclock to this card. Card is factory overclocked already, can this be a problem?

If it if factory OC then this should not be a problem! Maybe there is something physically wrong with the card, If I where you I would send it back and get a new one!

Sorry I couldn't help more.

Tried many solutions including checking/reinstalling all cables. Tried downloading some files called "vga bios" for gtx 970 dunno... cant remember if that helped, but after clean windows instalation no more i had this problem.
 
If it occurs again, you should request a RMA, you just got unlucky and got a bad card. You should be entitled for another. Sometimes, these can slip through.
If you underclock your card, you probably fine it flickers less but you shouldn't need to do that out of the box. Return it from where you bought it.

I am experiancing the same problem with my gigabyte gtx 970, i use a vga cable with a DVI-I connector. When i connect it via the HDMI cable the problem is gone. is it the fault of the card??

Was looking just for the same things. Maybe vga and dvi i cables are too weak or something thanks for the update both of you guys.
