Just upgraded from my old 5700 XT to a 7900 XTX, and a problem that was already happening became much more apparent. The screen will "flicker", I'll hear a static pop on my speakers/headphones, and a hitch in the coil whine on the GPU. This is most apparent when playing a game, but also seems to happen when watching videos and a few other things but not while idle. The screen flicker is so faint that it sometime seems more like my eyes are playing tricks on me and I wouldn't think anything was wrong if I didn't also head the static in my headphones. The LEDs on my fans will also flicker, but not alongside the screen/audio flickering (They are just flickering randomly). The framerate will also drop.

Not sure what to do to get a better grasp of what's happening under the hood. If anyone has any ideas there, that would be great. It seems like some limit is being hit before it dials down and continues. The hitch happens about every second. I've included a metrics collection while running SOTTR benchmark on ultra. It reached a maximum CPU + GPU power draw of 419w, and I don't generally pin the CPU and GPU at the same time, so 850w should be enough, but I'm thinking it might be some limit on a single rail that I might be hitting. The "max" power draw is ~600 according to specs.

I've also uploaded a video that shows the flickering, and hopefully also you can hear the hitches in the coil whine and audio.
