I just built a new system, and my monitor has a light flickering that's particularly noticeable on gray backgrounds such as Steam. The only time I don't see flickering is when I restart in Safe mode. The card is connected to the monitor using a DisplayPort cable. Hardware and resolution attempts are noted below. Please advise as to what else I can try!
Software:
Windows 10
Hardware:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor

AOPEN 27HC1R Pbidpx 27-inch 1800R Curved Full HD (1920 x 1080) Gaming AMD Radeon FreeSync and NVIDIA...
Troubleshooting attempts:
