I am running dual 1070s in sli mode and I am having an issue which is subtly driving me crazy in which my displays are flickering randomly.
I have a powerful power supply, 1050 watts. The flickering occurs across all three monitors simultaneously so I don't believe it is monitor or cable related (if that is incorrect reasoning please tell me). It does not seem to be impacted by what task I am performing but I could be wrong because it is so random. I don't remember having this issue with my sli 780s. My drivers are all up to date.
Any ideas on tests I can run or ways I can try to narrow down the problem?
Note: the flickering impacts all monitors simultaneous and looks like a full screen of random artifacts, just for a few frames at a time. sometimes it happens in intervals of every 30 or so seconds and other times it is minutes or hours.
Note 2: My PC was built in 2013 and I overbuilt it to last. The only upgrades have been to the GPUs. I know windows 7 is coming to the end of its life and I have been heavily considering finally making the leap to windows 10, think that will make a difference?
