[@amberzechmann5208]

Thank you!!! My display started flickering shortly after concluding my stream last night. I was about to give up, until I found your video. I was able to roll back the drive on my graphics card--restarted my computer, and now it works perfectly fine.

[@heyakash_7]

Hey ! You have 2 subscribers. Where do u stream ??

[@DebuDebuYT]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. The bottom half of my monitor has been flickering and glitching and nothing seemed to help EXCEPT changing the refresh rate from 144Hz to 120Hz.

[@abhimanyukashyap4046]

Updating drivers and checking the ports really helps. Thanks for your help man!

[@sergiovaldes9959]

In my case, I managed to record when the game flickered, then in the recording the flickering is also appreciated, what could it be all about?

[@Kairu267]

I cleaned and updated my driver's But It didn't fixed the issue.

Man, you're a Life saver. I have been struggling for over an hour. But as soon as you said "faulty cable connections", I went to the back of the pc and pressed on the cables slightly. After that, I restarted the pc for 20th time and the flickering was gone. I wanted to use this comment to thank you for your help. I was about to bring it to the shop :)
