Screen issues

[Dakuora]

About 5 days ago i have recently started have screen flickering issues out of nowhere whenever i have a game launched. Im not sure why this is happening or what could be the problem but my main monitor which is in between my two side monitors is fine but, for example when i start a game and then tab out or use another screen to say browse the web or watch a video or do literally anything the two side screens will barely flicker long lines sporadically every like 5 to ten seconds. i have had this setup for a very long time and it has been working fine the way it is.

You probably have the 417.71 Nvidia drivers, i have heard many complaints.

Try with the previous drivers 417.35

really? Only issues I would think of is a monitor working shit with a 10 or 20 series card because the panel is bad for adaptive sync.

So my guess went to the Nvidia drivers as many had issues with them including myself.

I had to go to the earlier version....

I assume he update the drivers, like we all do....

You'd actually be surprised. A lot of people don't update their drivers. I don't, ever, unless it gives me something I want or need. I wouldn't of updated to 417.71 if it didn't have freesync.

Well i got really frustrated with what was happening so i clean reset everything my windows all my drives everything currently i have only installed steam and chrome and a game currently running it with programs on other monitors and nothing is wrong no flickering no anything. This i think clears up my worry that the gpu is faulty so it was something to do with my driver or a program i was using.

@mxk. @Constantin Well there is another update after full wiping my pc and gradually installing all my programs again i have ran into the problem of the screens flickering again. as far as i can see the issues only on my two side monitors with my main screen not being affected. I have never had problems with these monitors and im sure there is nothing wrong with them. I think i may have dialed the problem down to having shadow play enabled it seems like the screen only wants to flicker when its enabled which is not supposed to happen i have used shadow play consistentlywith my previous gpu (980 ti) aswell as this current 2080 Ti. i have had this card for about 3 months give or take and it hasnt shown any of the problems relating to a defect 2080 ti. I thinking it may be a driver issue but again i am pretty sure i had the driver 417.71 for quite a while before these problems started and my shadowplay is always on.
