New Gigabyte GTX 960 causing flickering edge of screen

[brad1990]

Hi everyone. I recently installed a new Gigabyte GTX 960 4GB OC (GV-N960OC-4GD), I started noticing some odd flickering at the top edge of my screen whilst playing games on Steam and GOG Galaxy.

Flashing white dots appear at the top left and right corners and also centre of top of the screen. It usually occurs within 20 minutes of playing for a few minutes, then stop and start again periodically.

This hasn't happened with any other GPU I've had, and my monitor is fairly new. I have tried reseating the GPU, and reinstalled drivers etc.

Here are example videos I took: http://

Pretty annoying! Any suggestions?

Did you try older drivers?

There is a good possibility that it might be your screen

Try it to another one if you ever can

Ok I tried it with my old monitor,connected via dvi/vga, and there was no flickering. I will try with another monitor to test further.

I'll see if I can try older nvidia drivers

Seems to be fine with other monitors. Older drivers didn't help.

Can you try your current monitor with your intergrated graphics or another gpu?

Ok I tried with the integrated graphics, I couldn't really get the games to run properly but there wasn't any flickering...

So... probably its your Monitor Is it still under warranty?

I will check the warranty, but I also tested with my 2 older gpus and didn't have the flickering problem, could it possibly be something to do with the psu as the newer cards draw more power?
