Random screen split second flicker.

[EdwinX]

Hi, so I recently got my 3rd monitor, 2 of them are connected via DVI and my main monitor is connected via displayport, I've noticed that at random, there's this split second flicker, it looks like it's a combination of the colors black and white on the middle of all my monitors. I know my explanation is really bad, I'm not good at explaining things.

 

Has anyone experienced this and has a fix?

What GPU do you have, and it's not uncommon for this to happen especially in extended monitor setups. I had this happen on my HD5870 where it would drop the core clock when idling and make the second screen flicker constantly. one thing is to try and setup 2D and 3D profiles to try and keep the core clock up so it won't do that but it depends on the card.

I have 2 Asus GTX 760 in SLI, not overclocked.

It might be due to the SLI setup I believe it was your suppose to set the PhysX to a single GPU and turn off tessellation if I remember not sure if that will fix it but I remember reading that.

By the way, this happens even if I'm playing a game or not, even happens during normal browsing.

That happened on my HD5870 all the time it was a re-occuring problem for a lot of people if there was any over or under clocking since it would push it into a lower clock rate when in idle. If there is a way to keep your ore clock up or constantly higher it will remedy it but that also disables the the power saving feature with lower clock rate.
