So i just chagned from gtx 660 to 980 and its working pretty good, i get alot better fps but there is this flickering i get sometimes on my screen.
Like every 1-5 minutes there is a flicker on both my screens but not at the same time, it doesnt matter if im in a game or not. It just randomly flickers for like half a second and my fps goes down for that moment alot.

asus R9 270X directCu II flickering - YouTube



Even though its not exactly how it looks on mine but suepr similar i found this video of a guy with same problem


Any help or tip is appreciated

GeFOrcce GTX 980
Driver version 384.76
i5-3570K 3.40GHz
8gb ram
 
Update GPU driver solve the problem? It is usually fix most of major problem, you could try it.
 
I have the latest driver installed.
One guy told me he had the same issue on his card after updating to this driver, Will going back to an old driver might fix it? Not sure how to do it but would that work?
 
Hey, yes i do still have this problem still.
I filled in as much as i could on my own but i know i missed something that could be important so ill add a picture of 'System information' which might be useful if i missed filling in something important. asd.png
 
This flickers happends everywhere, no matter what i do but if i recall correctly i think its atleast abit more when i play more heavyy games as dark souls 3, overwatch , dota2 etc
 
Want to try a clean driver install? Use Driver Fusion,free clean application,go to driver family tab,select display,delete,restart and install latest recommended drivers,see how it goes,i'll be around waiting
I insist on using Driver Fusion,it really uninstalls in depth previous drivers
 
I used Display Driver Uninstaller and did that. Reinstalled my drivers. But i could try it if u think driver fusion would be any different?
 
Would a program really be the problem if i just switched graphic cards?
But i dont know, i have not tried it in safe mode. Can i still play adn stuff in safe mode ?
 
No haha. I mean i switched from gtx 660 to 980 and i meant. Will a program cuase problem just because i switched from 660 to 980?
Im sorry i made you missunderstand.
 
I also have a GTX 980 and I'm getting screen flickering with the newest driver (384.76). I just switched to the last driver (382.53) and it's working fine now....
 
NVidia site while searching for drivers,they appear in order by release date,choose the version you want to try out and download those, fully uninstall with Driver Fusion or DDU and do a clean installation.
