PC Drivers & Software

Here's my pickle:

SO I got this brand-spanking-new ASUS TUF RX 6700 XT (finally) and I've been with it for almost a week. Since then I've got the occasional flickering and/or blinking screens.

PC does not crash, but it does seem to readjust my windows, as if changing resolution. Never happened during gaming so I assume it is the driver being a c**t when not dealing with fullscreen or some other related thing, but I am not knowledgeable enough on this.

DDU'd twice since install, driver up to latest stable version (22.5.1) and Freesync is DISABLED for both my screens since it seems it caused such issues in past versions, but doing so did not do away with the flickers.

My last two options are a BIOS update (last update was sometime last year) and a clean Windows install. Both options I want to avoid if possible.

My setup:

MB: Asus TUF B550M-Plus;

CPU: R7 3700X;

GPU: Asus TUF RX  6700XT;

RAM: 16gb running at 3600 mHz;

PSU: Corsair RM1000i;

NVMe: WD Green SN350 (holds the OS);

Some SATAs for data hoarding;

Your system is very similar to mine..

I am using 22.3.1 as the release notes for 22.5.1 say there could be screen flicker with 6700 XT..

Try disabling Enhanced sync as that is also in the release notes..

I don't get any problems at all with 22.3.1.. with enhanced sync and freesync enabled..

Thanks, mate. It seems to have worked.

Changed the driver to version 22.3.1, been using for a few hours. No flickers or artifacts. And saved me from a new Windows install and the hassle of re-installing all my work applications and the BIOS "oh my god may the lights don't go out in the next half hour" experience.

Cheers.

Good stuff, glad it helped..

Hope it continues, your system is a close match to mine..

Hey guys,

I think I have the same problem, but not only does my screen flicker, but also weird black stripes and shadows are there when I start a game. i tried to install 22.3.1, but I dont think this worked. I have this problem for around 2weeks now, can you help me? I also have freesync enabled

[machtan]

I am not knowledgeable, as I said before. But I think it would help to have more information.

System specs?

I found a reddit thread about flickers on the RX570, but it involves teaking the voltages and clocks on both the GPU and memory. I personally have zero know-how on these matters. Sorry.

Hope someone more capable finds this.

I still have this problem on version 24.10.1, I don't know why amd doesn't want to fix this problem , 

[rufazar]

if you using this ASUS TUF 6700XT GPU actually it's not amd fault, it was BIOS Fault bc ASUS doesn't want to provide the latest updates, the problem is this ASUS TUF GPU have problem with power saving thing, that why flickering only happen when idle / browsing etc, but never happen in gaming
