Ok so i have gtx 980 strix running a samsung 32nch 2560x1440(display port)/27inch monitor @ 1920x1080 (dvi) and a 60 inch tv(hdmi) also running off it and i keep getting horizontal lines flickering not constant but happening enough to be annoying and only seems to happen if i have a movie or something similar playing i don't see it when playing games though...  and yes it happens on all three screens.

 

any ideas?

i used to have  similar prob when gaming on my TV, and i found out it was because the HDMI connector doesn't have a locking mechanism it bounces all over the output causing the screen to flicker and have horizontal lines on the screen

If it doesn't happen during games, I doubt it's the fault of the lack of a locking mechanism.

Try a different movie player and see if the issue persists.

If it does, maybe try and see if turning off power management in the GPU does anything? If it does the GPU may be faulty.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.
