Hi all,
Recently upgraded to the following spec:
My basket at Overclockers UK:
After a little teething trouble involving Windows 7 DVD, I managed to install Windows 10 via a USB stick, onto the WD Black NVME drive.
I'm still installing all updates and current driver's (already done Gigabyte & EVGA updates) when I went to set the GPU settings to 4k/50hz (my Hisense 65A6200 TV's native resolution) which is fed by my AV Receiver (a Sony STR-DN1080), the TV would flicker between blank screen and desktop for a few seconds.
I don't have a desk (pesky kids requiring a dining table instead), so I use the Lounge TV as my monitor.
I installed Blizzard's Battle.net, ready to reinstall Diablo 3 - I fiddled with the video settings (both within game and via Windows).
If I set the resolution to 3840 x 2160 50hz, and enable HDR, the colours would go darker and appear worse, with the flickering (like a persistent handshaking issue) would get much worse - to the point where I couldn't use the comouter.
I turned Windows HDR setting to off and dropped the resolution to 1080p - which reduced the problem, but didn't solve it completely.
Using high end HDMI cables from PC to AV Receiver and the same from AV Receiver to TV.
I'd really like to make use of the full capabilities of my new system, but the screen flickering is making it unusable. I'll double check that I'm using the best input HDMI port on the AV Receiver tomorrow, and swap cables about to make sure it's not those (it won't be - Im using the exact same ones for Xbone and PS4 Pro).
Anyone else had problems like this?
