Hello, I have an EVGA GTX 1080 SC with the latest drivers and the new BIOS installed. I'm getting random flickers/artifacts in any application whether it be a YouTube video, website(use Google Chrome), games, or any other program.
The only time I have not seen it is during home screen or screen saver. This problem was present before driver and BIOS updates. The same problem occurs using an HDMI cable or Display Port cable. Tested multiple cables. The problem occurs whether the PC is hooked up to a 65" UHD TV or an LG Ultra Wide monitor. I've ran tons of benchmark and diagnostic tools and they all perform excellent. I've ran MEMTest86 and Memory diagnostics, sfc /scannow, dism test etc., all come back good. The flickering is random and only last for a fraction of a second, it's like a red-ish color flash and probably happens 4-6 times an hour. Unfortunately I don't have another mobo to test the card and see if it's hardware related.
Anyone else experiencing something similar to this?
