My current build:

Win11 Pro

5800x3D

RTX3070

2x16 GB DDR4 3600

G7 Odyssey 27" Monitor

I’ve been running this build for a while now. The CPU and RAM are the latest addition. My GPU I had since release.

I’ve had some really weird issues. At first I had flickering lines similar to artifacting that you’d generally see from a GPU that is actually dying, but those occured during desktop and gaming use.

After a clean reinstall of my drivers with DDU the flickering disappeared completely, but today I had a new problem. During desktop use when switching between apps like firefox or discord the monitor would turn off and on again like you would usually see happen when tabbing in and out of games that run in fullscreen.

Restarting the PC alleviated these problems for a while. I reinstalled drivers again with an older driver version to see if anything is going to change.

What could my next steps be to figure out what’s wrong? I could try reseating the GPU or get a new cable. I don’t think it’s the monitor or the DP cable, though.
