Hello internet!
I recently made a purchase to upgrade from my 5850 ATI Sapphire 1GB to a 580 GTX Phantom 3gb. However since I've installed the card I've noticed more flickering on my screen (If I even had any before, which I'm positive I didn't).
Now I do have my brightness quite high and I thought that maybe the settings were causing some clipping white colours - as I notice this problem more on whites and greys. But to my knowledge my monitor settings were the same on my old GFX card and I didn't have this problem.
So is it possible it's just settings that need to be adjusted or is it something else? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. As I'm at a loss for what is causing this issue. The only other areas I could think of are:
1. ATI drivers not correctly being removed for some reason.
2. Not enough power, the card is 600W min and my power supply is just at 600W
3. Defect card
With the 3rd choice being the big one, if it does turn out to be that I would like to get it RMA'ed sooner rather than later due to Christmas coming up and such.
Also my system specs are as follows:
Motherboard - GA-X58A-UD5
Processor - i7 950 3.06ghz
RAM - 6GB
