Hi. My card is Gtx 1080 Ti reference, no oc. Today after quitting fire strike ( 1920x1080 res ) ( i quit after 10 second test ) i get weird single flicker on desktop,like here:



It happened just once and one single time,but i want to be sure that card is ok.
It flickered maybe 8 seconds after quitted test,on desktop.
I tried to reproduce but i cant.
I am using new nvidia driver. Monitor is GB2488HSU 144HZ IIyama. Thanks
Desktop is 1920x1080 144hz.
Drivers 378.92

Firestrike does have wierd buggy stuff like that going on sometimes. I'd only be concerned if it starts happening in games or just in the desktop alone.
 
So my card is not producing artifacts in any games ( tested GTA V , Andromeda, 3dmark 11,13,Heaven ).

I dont know why it flickered just once. After that i tried to reproduce this all 3 days,without result. Just start Fire strike,then fast close, wait and nothing.

My cable Display Port is. Still can be bad memory fluke?
 
Your worried over nothing. A slight screen flicker once in 3 days when leaving an application which is heavy on the gpu is such a minor minor thing, more so when you can't reproduce it or see it in anything else. Your card and everything sound like they are working fine.
 
It flickered maybe 8 seconds after i quitted test,on desktop it flickered.
Maybe something due to clock changes? Also i cant reproduce this,weird.
Anyway its nothing wrong with card?

I dont have artifacts in games,in 3dmark etc .

I get the same thing with a GTX 1080. I have a Dell S2716Dg Gsync screen and it happens whether gsync is on or off. Usually I can get it to happen by locking the PC and logging back in, after about five seconds the screen will flicker black for a second and then be normal.

I have tried multiple cables on the certified list to no avail. It doesn't really bother me so I haven't done anything about it.
 
I dont saw exactly what flickered.But i remember that something horizontal flickered in Windows after closing FIre strike, maybe after 15 seconds after closing fire strike, just in Windows.
Also i cant reproduce this again. Weird.
 
Nah its not me, i dont rma all the 980 ti s :) . Anyway but back to topic. It was windows issue, something with refresh.
I reproduced glitch 2 times. It just flicker sometimes after closing test. But not like on posted movie.
I just exaggerated this. So thanks for replies,its ok now.
 
its not a faulty card, i had exactly the same issue on 2 1080s, both of them installed separate and i had that same flicker that looks like jaggy lines when you move only on 144hz or a very high refresh rate, all i did was installed a clean updated driver and it disapeared.
