Just a final follow up to close the thread….. new card ordered, same card, different manufacturer - no problems at all. Working flawlessly for numerous days. So only conclusion that can be drawn is a one off duff card, or that Gainward make doesn’t play ball with my PC. The former seems by far...

Yes. Was careful to remove old drivers. Nvidia seems not to like AMD drivers! In fact twice has been fresh windows install. And I don’t think my microwave was on! As for “trying” cards, I feel I really need to think of the likely best outcome….. not really fair on suppliers when stuff doesn’t...

Before I reply to Tetras and Dreadi, I have taken out the 4070 super and put back in the rx5600. Problem solved. 144hz, no screen flicker, no packet loss….. nothing. Perfect as it was all morning. So before I try home plugs or a long Ethernet cable, I’m wondering if there is a point? This card...

Either way, so wierd. It really is as simple as 60hz in Fortnite works fine, 144hz cause packet loss stuttering and screen flashes and clicks…… bonkers! Really glad I upgraded

Going to do the scientific approach tomorrow. Start off by reverting the whole shooting match back to stock ryzen 5 3600 and amd 5600xt. Then change the CPU first…. Test…… then the GPU….. test….. PITA!

Ok. So have put WiFi adapter to 20hz as you suggested and apart from reducing speed from 270mbs to 50mbs, the same problem persists. Everything fine at 60hz, goes to rat **** in game at 144hz!

How did you put adapter to 20mhz?

Can’t really disable WiFi as I don’t have an Ethernet cable long enough. But doing Speedtest gets 270mbs and 20ping. Everything works a treat till I set 144hz. Which is why I ruled out interference. Nothing has changed in this system location. Using display port not HDMI. Same one as before...

There can’t be any programs interacting badly here - such as the mentioned ASU’s Armoury Crate. There is not much on the PC. Avast one is the only thing worth mentioning. But I have always used this - and can’t see why the 144hz causes a problem in that way.

As for scientific process of elimination, I have tried old gpu with new CPU, but as yet not put the old CPU back in. And yes, changing the refresh rate messes with the game in respect to packet loss. Never happened before and 144hz worked fine. Now if I set to 144hz I get a packet loss warning...

Here’s a thing…… possibly starting to narrow the issue down. My son is back from school and has been testing the fresh install I’ve done, which appears to have worked. He is playing Fortnite and has mentioned it looks like it’s on 60hz (god knows how he sees this!). Went to nvidia control panel...

3600mhz 2x8gb. 16gb total.

Noting of note running in task manager Haven’t run malware bytes yet as I did a clean install. Which I’m currently doing right now as this is what fixed last time. One bonus is my son’s PC is bare bones. Just his games on and nothing more! I shall look at time spy in a bit. Once the fresh...

Yes. All should be up to date via mobo.

Would you believe after my initial jubilation after the fresh windows install that all was fine - a week later back in that same sticky situation. Here are some symptoms: Display flickers randomly approx once every 10-20 seconds. Makes a click as it does it Whole system is slow. Ages to load...

So far so good. I’ve been convinced to stop “messing” with the PC now as there’s a Fortnite tournament going on……. But things are looking sharp and quick and I’m rather hopeful that the nuclear full re-install is the way forward. Many thanks for all your help. You’ve all been really useful in...

Just going through the windows setup now….. already seems snappier…… I’ll report back. Thanks for all these replies. A great help.

Everything is so slow to do. Checked a few of the things you mentioned, CMOS reset….. nothing. Going the fresh windows install route now.

Will also look in events viewer. No did not do fresh windows install. Plus old card was AMD 5600xt. And no did not uninstall the old driver….. what should I do now? Will DDU work with the new nvidia card installed?

Thermal paste yes. Temps for CPU fine. Xmp possibly not enabled in bios as have done nothing to that since flash. PSU decent. Corsair 750w.
