This is a new replacement 780ti from EVGA as my old one broke. There is times when there is no flickering and times when its insane, i dont know what causes it. If on world of warcraft i put my AA to max the flickering nearly stops, if not its really bad.

I have more videos of examples if you want

Any ideas?

Also i have used same wires and pci slot on a old gtx 580 and it works fine.

It might have been what caused your old one to fail. You would be better off just getting a GTX 1070, than getting another 780ti. Nearly double the performance, at roughly half the power, of a single 780ti. The 750w B2 is not going to handle 2x 780ti.

Sorry for late reply.
i7-3820 @ 3.6GHz 8core
16g ram, 1600 MHz
240gb SSD hyper x

I changed some stuff in nvidia control pannel and made it use more power, it was at 30% before and flickering, now itz 80%+ and fine, I noticed this as on fallout 4 it shot up to 100% and there was no flickering so it was a power issue. However sometimes it still flickers when using 50% power (from HWMonitor) so i put the AA to max it uses 75%+ and no flickering. My old 780ti did break when i installed a new h80i water cooler. I know this uses more power than my old CPU water cooler.

I see, also i may get another 780ti in the future i hope the power supply you mentioned will be good enough. I'm confused that this power supply was fine with my previous 780ti but now its broke.
