Hi everyone!

Recently, I have bought a new video card, but I see flickering on black areas on the screen while playing games

The card is an ASUS R9 270, and I use a Samsung 21,5" monitor with only a D-SUB input

When I use the DVI-VGA connector included by the card, the flickering is horrible.
I have bought an HP HDMI->VGA converter, and the flickering stopped for a while, but it came back, and it occurs especially when there are dark colors on the screen




Can somebody help me? :)

Okay, seems like I've found what caused it :D

A few months ago, I've upgraded to a 290X, and the flickering became horrible
I've changed my PSU (the new card needed more juice anyways), and it was slightly better, but the flickering was still present


So, I've tried to plug my PC directly into a wall outlet (prior to that, my PC and monitor were on the same power strip), and all the flickering stopped completely
