I have a Quadro K1200. Here is a video of the issue that I have.
This has been intermittent. However, I was able to replicate the problem consistently when I had to render some videos out of Camtasia. Occasionally some webpages, moving to full screen on some windows, or doing something else intensive triggers it but it is still intermittent (except when rendering)
I have updated drivers, used DDU and removed my old driver and reinstalled with an old driver for compatibility. All with no success.
I have a four monitor setup as you can see from the video. Per a suggestion from my wife I started unplugging monitors. I started experiencing the issue on the other three. However, when I unplugged the second monitor (now only 2 monitors plugged in) the flickering stopped. I ran the Camtasia exporter again and no flickering on the top two monitors. I had the Nvidia GPU Utilization window open and I noticed that with the export I was now only reaching about 50% utilization not 100%. So I opened Planet Coaster as this is the first program where I first noticed this issue. The GPU Utilization went to 100% but still no flickering.
I replugged the two bottom monitors back in. Ran the Camtasia export. Flickering again. Then I unplugged the top two to see if the bottom monitors were the problem. No flickering on Camtasia export (the GPU Utilization was in the 50's). So I ran Planet Coaster. 100% GPU Utilization but no flickering. The bottom monitors are BenQ 24" GW2450. The top two monitors are Samsung 22" SyncMaster 2253LW.
I'm trying to think logically about this. If there is no flicker on either pair of the monitors even while the GPU Utilization is high, could it be that four monitors together is too much for the video card? Could it be that two types of monitors is causing the problem? I also hooked up one of the BenQs and one of the Samsungs and there was no flickering with any of the programs. So I don't know that this is the cause.
Finally, as I mentioned, with 2 monitors and Planet Coaster running (100% GPU Utilization), no flickering. Plugged in a third monitor (BenQ) and the flickering started. Unplugged that monitor and plugged in another (Samsung - still only 3 plugged in). Flickering. I thought that this issue could be CPU related but during planet coaster the CPU levels stay relatively modest so I'm thinking that it is 100% related to GPU load. Does that mean my video card cannot handle 3 or 4 monitors with an intensive load? Is there a setting that can be changed? 90% of the time there is no problem but obviously it is annoying as I'm working, especially because it happens some times when I'm presenting over Zoom. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you.
