Yeah, the real problem with the 258q is the location and angle of the displayport port. It is at a pretty bad angle and at the very far end of the ports. It really makes it hard to get the cable connected. I hope it was the issue, because I sure do like this monitor and am afraid of Asus support...

Anything else you guys think I should try before ruling it a bad monitor? I just installed a different driver just to test. I don't have high hopes though. I'll try another port on the card next just to test.

Is there any way this could be driver related. I believe, after thinking about it, that the only driver it was doing it on was the newest one from Nvidia. I put the 388.59 on my system to see and so far had no issues. However, wouldn't a driver issue show up in a video captured with XBOX DVR?

GSYNC Has issues with Xbox DVR. I uninstalled anything Xbox related entirely and have yet to run into an issue. I would try removing anything Xbox related entirely from your PC. It got introduced with the Fall Creators Update in W10.

I usually do have it disabled, but was using it to attempt to capture the issue. It was either that or install Geforce experience, which is just as bad IMO.

Except Geforce Experience has no issues with gsync. Rule out that gsync is even the issue by turning gsync off in your nvidia control panel, and see if you run into issues still.

I don't have gsync on. I really don't need it with a 240Hz monitor. It actially adds a little bit extra input lag. I'm kind of wondering if the latest drivers were the issue after reading about others having monitor issues with the latest drivers. I'll test it more tomorrow, but I played about an hour with no issues tonight with older drivers.

Kind of weird, but when I was using my PG278Q and the 390.65 drivers, I did have a few driver crashes as well. I am pretty sure it was Windows 10's version of the TDR (haven't had a TDR on Windows 10 yet). It read, "A problem with your hardware caused Windows to stop working correctly." code 117. From what I have read on that issue, it is almost always video drivers. I also noticed when starting my system with the PG278Q, and 390.65 drivers, that there would be a weird line or two on the screen for a split second.
So far, still no problem with the 388.59 drivers. I'll update this if there is a problem, or if this fixes it completely (for anyone that comes a long with a similar issue).

Glad to hear. Out of curiosity though if you don’t mind further testing, try DDU to completely wipe any and all nvidia drivers and then test the latest driver again then use ddu again and revert back to the version that worked for you if you run into issues, I want to see if you have a conflicting driver issue or not, if you don’t wanna go through the process no worries I just wanna rule this out for the long run for you.

I have been running DDU every time that I have been changing drivers.

I sure hope so. The issue was pretty intermittent, so really only time will tell. However, usually within a couple hours of use I would have seen something before. I changed drivers last night and ran Battlefront 2 for about an hour, then ran it again today for an hour or two. So far nothing. I am getting hopeful, but not getting my hopes up!

Good. I just wanted to rule that out, I like to go down a list of my plausible ideas to prevent long run issues. If that driver works then you are all good.

Yeah, I am the same way. I like to thoroughly exhaust all possible options before determining the cause of my issue. In this case, my first assumption was that it was the monitor... Seems like it might turn out to be wrong, but we will see. I am still not fully convinced that I can close the books on this one, but only time will tell.

I am pretty confident that this was a driver issue, the problem has not came back since changing the drivers. I am pretty sure that WAS the issue. Thanks everyone for your help.

Please keep us apprised. I've read the thread and my first supposition was either the monitor or the cable as well. Skunked drivers is better news of a kind.

Happened again this morning and I thought I saw something yesterday as well. Dang, it went so long without doing it... I just wish that it happened all the time, it would be easier to diagnose.

Do you have a second card you can test? Pull your current card test another see if it’s your card that’s faulty. That way you can rma it if so and get rid of your problem.

Funny you say it could be related to one game because I have an issue with overwatch where if I go +1 MHz to my core or memory on my 1080 it crashes and says my card is overclocked and I need to underclock it to play overwatch. But my 970 handled overwatch while being overclocked no issue. And my 1080 does not crash in 3dmark or any other game. I have ran it in 3dmark with the overclock over 10 Times to be sure and I have ran it in games that use it at 100 percent load for hours and hours to test as well and zero crashing overclocked in any game except overwatch. I have yet to determine why in overwatch it happens to me.

I tried three different cables and the issue does not happen with my PG278Q. Yes, there was a display driver crash going on with the PG278Q, but I am pretty sure that WAS just the newest driver. EDIT: The thing that gets me is that the issue cannot be captured with video recording software, I could only capture it with my phone. This would lead me to think that it is either a bad cable or monitor... Since I swapped out the cables, I assume it would be the monitor... Could be the port on the card too? However, I haven't had this particular issue with the my PG278Q monitor. The most recent cable that I connected is also VESA certified.

I guess the only way your gona know is to just ems the card and see if the next one does it as well.. too bad you cant just barrow someone else card.

I could run OC Scanner for artifacts, which I have for a short period of time with no artifacts. That program found issues in a 580 a long time ago. However, it seems if it was related to the card it would show on the recording software.

Ok, I get a flicker if I change the memory clock on the graphics card. I have only tested on my PG278Q, but will test the PG258Q tomorrow. If it does this, then I know that it is in the drivers. It seems like an issue that Nvidia has been working on for 2 years and still has not fully resolved. I found this thread: https://forums.geforce.co...80-flickering-issue/2/

I got another video: https://youtu.be/1jkvJUpeqzM If you notice, Battlefront 2 is running in the background in windowed mode. It was almost as if the right setup, circumstances, resulted in the issue. When I closed the browser in the background, the issue went away. The issue also did not just impact one window, it went across the whole screen. I since have tried the new drivers, another new cable that is certified from the displayport website, another port on the video card. I think that I do have an old 680 that I could probably throw in and try... that thing is pretty old though... EDIT: As of right now, I am in the process of editing that video so it displays the correct direction.
