@Logue, I had the same problem. But when I changed the color depth settings in CCC from 10 to 8 = no more flickering! Could try and see if that helps you or not.

The setting is under CCC>My Digital Flat-Panels>Properties>Color Depth

I saw a improvement over my H110, which is a improvement over the H100i. I wouldn't expect miracles though. The GT just has a better look and much thicker, better looking pipes. The Radiator is 280mm vs the i's 240mm, so it should be better.

Cba ripping everything out though

, I'll have to think about it.

You make me wonder... It may have been after I tried whacking this up that I started getting horrible performance needing a reinstall.

Does it play smooth again when you drop back down to 100%?

I would test it on mine, but not after taking ages to reinstall...

The Black+Red one looks like it'd be stunning with the right mobo etc and a pair of 295x2's :cool:

Sooooooo tempting!!!

Try it without using the resolution scaling.

Just tried it at 150, 135, and 100. did the same thing. very strange and annoying lol as it's be great till now

Edit, just tried the 295x2 on it's own with out the 290x, and it also just crashes.. how odd..

i now try fresh driver install

Loque · 16 Feb 2015 at 23:20
