This isn't really a problem per se, as I've been able to "fix" it, but I'm really interested in understanding the reason behind it.
I recently installed Fallout: New Vegas on my computer. Here is what happened in order:
1. I started FNV, and there was major flickering, to the point that I would consider the game too annoying to play.
2. I changed the overclock in Afterburner back to stock, rebooted, and then used GPU-Z to make sure the clock settings were at stock. I still got flickering.
3. I then set Afterburner to not start with Windows, and restarted. When I started FNV, there was no flickering. I quit, then went into GPU-Z to make sure the settings were still at stock, and not another Afterburner profile, then restarted FNV, and it was back to flickering.
I could go on, but basically it boils down to this: I can overclock or keep it stock, and there is no flickering. However, if I run either GPU-Z or MSI Afterburner, even after they are shut down, FNV will flicker and will not stop flickering unless I reboot my computer.
Just curious what could cause this.
