My Tempest x270oc is about ten months old now and it's been paired with an existing 30" monitor.
After (I believe it was after, I am certain I'd notice this right away) moving to Windows 10, I have seen intermittent and random flicker when running full screen programs at 96hz. It does not show artifacting or lines - rather it's just quick flashes of elements of what image is already being displayed. It's almost like if you were disconnecting a cable and the signal started to get interrupted.
40,60,96,120hz work on desktop
40,60,96,120hz work in full screen with 96hz being the only resolution to flicker.
I am using the same CRU profiles I did with Windows 7.
My 96hz settings are [Image: http://s27.postimg.org/5ekd0l6ub/Capture.jpg]
The only method I have found to reduce it(not 100%), is to tell the game to run 96hz, but leave the desktop at 60hz. The full screen game overrides the desktop setting anyways - not sure why that would make a difference, possibly placebo.
I have tried new cables, new drivers, reseated graphics cards, switched the port on the graphics card. The only thing left now is to switch to the other graphics card.
Failing that, any thoughts. Could the panel be dying already?
