Radeon HD Card Flickering or Micro-Stuttering

[CrazyCoder]

Title says it all. Got a Radeon HD 7850 (PowerColor) and it flickers on pages that are very white or just for heck of it.

 

Updated to Radeon Software 16.6.1 still flickering away.

 

Don't really want to have to call M$ tech support, to get permission to make hardware changes. But will if needed to do so. I have a legal version of Windows 7 Pro 64bit OEM. All I want to do is end the flickering, reinstall OS on HDD instead of small SSD (too few space for gaming).

 

If I gotta swap card I was think of one of the following:

GTX 750 (kinda a junker but powerful for a tiny card)

GTX 760 (compact or regular version)

GTX 950 (Meets modern game requirements better then GTX 750)

GTX 960 (Seen a few EVGA compact ones)

 

Yeah I'd love a GTX 770 or 780 but only have two 120mm fans in case and lack enough room for 780 jumbo cards.

Windows 7 Pro 64bit OEM

go into your graphics settings and find the slider that limits your fps stock is 55 FPS. go to 125 FPS for the server.

It's because you touch yourself at night.   http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127850&cm_re=msi_gtx_970-_-14-127-850-_-Product MSI makes a VERY dependable card.

Thanks Go0fLo0p, that tamed the flickering. Every here and there it still does it, but it's not unbearable. I got a Dell 2407WFP monitor, which seems fine for me. Could always upgrade to a LED one with lower millisecond response, once prices drop within reasonable range (like $70-100).

 

SupaDupa, that's one fancy colored card. Makes you want to get a spray can and repaint a case to match it, or get a Nivida Edition case
