Ok so here is the deal: when I load my pc, I immediately see screen flickering as if the vsync on a game was not turned on. It gets so bad that it starts to turn my display off. I just bought an AMD 7970 as I upgraded from an hd 6870. I uninstalled all of the amd catalyst software and did a fresh install with what the AMD auto detect tool told me to download - it says I'm up to date on my drivers. In an interesting turn of events, I have found out that when I move the HDMI cable around, the flickering will stop - but for only a while - and then it will come back. I have a hunch that it might be the generic HDMI cable that I bought from china off of ebay. However, I did not experience this with the 6870. Here are my specs:
PSU: 650 watts
MOBO: MSI A7MA-G55
CPU: A6-3650
GPU: HD 7970
RAM: 1333 DDR3 6GB
1 TB HARDRIVE
1 DVD DRIVE
6 FANS
I think my PSU can handle all of the load...
I am seriously at a loss of what could be causing this problem. Is it a bad GPU? a bad cable? Any help would be great. I just want to kill dinos in ARK in relative peace before a carno rips me in half. we can all dream...
