Does your problem include the indication

"Default Radeon WattMan settings has been restored due to unexpected situation"?

 If yes, there is a relevant thread you can check out.

I had the exact same problem with the exact same card.  What fixed it for me was to go to Radeon Settings/Gaming/Global Settings/Global Wattman and then change the speed/temperature setting to manual and boost it up on after 45 degrees or so.  Will make the card louder, but fixed it for me after a week of messing with it with no luck.  YMMV good luck.

I have had this issue since purchasing my AMD gear. RX Vega 64, zenith extreme, 1950X. Im using a Samsung 4k TV SJ8500, I do however have an extra long HMDI cable, what length is your wire? It did disapear a few updates ago tho but now I get black screen issues.

I know it's an old post but, has your problem been solved? I had a similar issue and the single thing that solved it was turning off HDCP setting in the Radeon Software.

i have the same issue but after having the black flickers AMD Radeon crashes.. any solution for this?

I found out what was causing my flickers by accident. My original thought was that the card was overheating until I read 75c was normal but because all things are not the same I still tried to lower the temp.

So here is what I found out. If you are using adrenaline  that is your problem. It's job is to boost your card to perform. The problem is that it pushes it past it's capacity to work.

I read that optimal performance for the card  was around 90 fps. The problem is that based on what the game wants and what you can do are two different things.

Go to your AMD Software app and use Radeon Chill settings and set the upper limit to 90. You can probably go a little higher depending on your card, but mine was go to go at 90. As for the lower limit it doesn't matter what you set it for, since it will never operate at that level. I set mine to 30 BTW.

Do that and unless something else is wrong it'll stop flickering. Mine did and I'm a happy camper now.

Good Luck

Faced this problem today. Have a RX 580 Gigabyte Gaming OC. Not problem with hardware, but software instead. Fixed by turning 0-RPM off
