Recently I noticed that when I was playing games @144hz sometimes there would be some strange flashes of flickering lines, they don't happen all the time and some areas or parts of a game will cause them every time. Strange flickering happening in Arma 3 and Brigador. www.gfycat.com/AngelicCloudyBalloonfish www.gfycat.com/EntireGargantuanIcterinewarbler Strange static flickering line that appears in Brigador almost all of the time, as well as in screenshots of that area when put in fullscreen. As you see in the video, it's faint but appears only when I put the screenshot in fullscreen. This one baffles me. www.gfycat.com/TintedBareAtlanticblackgoby But pretty much all the time On a freaking screenshot, and only when fullscreen, I got no idea what's going on. Things to note. DDU to the latest driver didn't resolve the issue. It does not happen @120/60Hz, only on 144Hz. So has anyone experienced this? Is it an issue with the latest driver? Or does my 1070SC have some strange issue?

Hello,
Have you taking a screen shot when you see this happening?
If you review the screen shot and everything looked normal than it may be your cable or display causing the issue.
Please let us know.

Looks like a displayport cable issue. Is your cable vesa certified?

Screenshots look normal but they get the strange issue when I put them in fullscreen, you can see in the 3rd link I minimize and then fullscreen the screenshot and the strange dim white line shows up in the right corner like when I'm in the game. Sajin

I'm not sure, it's the display port cable that came with my Samsung C24FG70. I don't own another DP or DVI-D right this moment, I'll order one to test it.

Here is a vesa certified dp cable...
Put an order in for a DP cable from this brand on Amazon, it'll be here in a couple days. Hopefully it's just the cable, I have way too much bad luck with hardware.

Silly question but were you overclocking the monitors refresh rate?

Alright, new cable came in. Although it's nice to have a slightly longer cable, this issue sadly still persist as you can see in the link below. www.gfycat.com/EthicalShockingFursealSajin
Let us know how it works. Make sure you try multiple dp outputs as well.
I tried changing to a different output port, no change with any of them. Quad5Ny

Nope. It's got 3 buttons on the bottom for profiles, I've got them set to 144Hz, 120Hz, 60Hz. Outside of the flicker issues I have noticed some strange issues in Portal 2 with this strange static artifact, that happens even at 60Hz, not sure if it's a game issue or what. Here's a video of it, since me and a friend played some coop maps last night. www.gfycat.com/CanineDishonestArchaeocete Not sure what to do at this point, I don't have another 144hz monitor to test for this issue and my old 7950 only has mini-DP outputs(My monitor only has DP/HDMI inputs).

Do #4 listed here to see if it has any affect on the issue.

Under clocking had no affect on the issue.

Yeah that was going to be my question..... looks like it's a quality issue at the 144hz rate Could also be way too high FPS with that game... he should test with a benchmark and see if the issue is still present at lower fps

When it comes to high FPS, with Arma that was definitely not the case haha but in Brigador I did have it synced to 144Hz and uncapping it didn't increases the frequency that it happened. Okay I put a framerate limit in Brigador, it still happens @60/30FPS when the monitor is set to 144Hz. Quad5Ny
If you post a save game at that location I would be happy to load up Portal 2 and check it out.
https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Mini-DisplayPort-HDMI-Cable/dp/B0134V3KIA/ -- I know its more money to spend, but it lets you check the monitor with another card.
It was a user made coop map from the workshop that my friend found, I might try out the SP chambers later to see if I can find a level that causes that specific issue reliably. I'll let you know if I do, as for the cable, if it comes down to it I'll buy it.

Have you tried setting your monitor back to default settings using the reset all feature to see if it helps fix the issue?

If resetting the monitor back to default settings doesn't help fix the issue try installing the latest monitor driver to see if it helps fix the issue. You can download the latest monitor driver here. Latest monitor driver is dated June 9th, 2017.

I actually forgot this thing had 'drivers', however, resetting the monitor and updating the monitors drivers did not fix the issue.

Do you have another monitor or TV to test with? I ask because I've got a sneaking suspicion that the monitor is the issue, and testing with a different monitor or TV will confirm or deny this.

Time to rma the monitor since you don't have another 144 Hz monitor to test with.

It doesn't happen on my other monitor, but that monitor is a 60Hz monitor and this main issue only happens when I'm at 144Hz, but I agree it is most likely the monitor. I did a few more test and I think that driver sorta helped. The artifact/issue is not as easy to make happen, it still happens but not as much and it's harder to make it flicker continually like in my earlier clips. I think that pretty much confirms it's the monitor. Can a video card even have an issue only show when at 144Hz? I know drivers have had issue like that in the past but that seems a little odd for hardware. I guess I'll be contacting Samsungs Support, I've never had to deal with an RMA through them so I hope they don't suck. I actually kinda wish it was the card because Evga's RMA service is pretty much the best I've gone through.

I doubt it's the card. Only way to know if it's the gpu would be to throw another gpu into your system.

And when you set the 144Hz monitor to run at 60Hz (at the monitor or in Windows) the problem persisted, correct? If so, time to RMA the 144Hz monitor.

No. If I set the monitor to below 144Hz(120, 60) the issue does not happen. That's what makes this so strange. It's not tied to frame rate only the refresh rate of the monitor on the monitor itself, setting the refresh rate in Windows itself had no affect. Also, I think I was wrong about the new driver, perhaps it was human error but I was able to make the monitor flicker just as bad as before. I think this definitely has to be a defect in the monitor itself. I have best luck when it comes to computer parts, it's honestly a bit ridiculous.
