I just installed a new gpu and for some reason when I have both my monitors plugged in I get a weird screen flicker when scrolling down youtube comments section. When I lower to hz of my main display to 120hz it stops. When I keep my main monitor at 144hz and lower the other monitor (60hz) to 50hz it stops. Also does not happen when only one monitor is connected. It doesn't matter whether I use chrome or edge, happens with both.

So far I have tried:
Reseating GPU, Uninstalling all drivers and reinstalling, flipping the cords around, turning on and off freesync.

The new gpu I installed is a rx 6700xt. Any ideas as to what is happening?

does switching between extended & duplicate make any difference?

and what type of "flickering"?
like a screen tear, colored lines, patches of screen not updating, etc...

does the issue still happen now when using the previous graphics card?
and what was this previous card?
I figured it out, I turned off hardware acceleration in google and its now stopped.
