Hi,

I just got a Sapphire Pulse 5700XT, and upon installing the drivers the screen starts to flicker (on/off) constantly.

If I remove the drivers the flickering stops.

The system is completely clean, as i reinstalled windows 10, out of desperation. Bios is up to date.

Up until recently this system ran a 2080ti without issues. I have tried multiple monitors and resolutions, but the problem persist.

The store has offered me a full refund... but I am curious what causes this and if others have experienced similar issues. And I really want a 5700XT as its my first AMD card since the 4870 (weird reason, I know ;)).

Just curious, what resolution? I also have Sapphire Pulse 5700XT but BNIB. I can return it and am nervous about driver issues.

2560x1440, I tried two monitors, one at 144hz the other at 60hz. I also tried 1920x1080.

Have you thought about RMA-ing it?

Here in Denmark the online shops are pretty easy to work with. They have offered a full refund, as the card is brand new. But I am probably going to order another one :)

I would not be too nervous, as I have not been able to find any reports on the issue (where people are not using MSI Afterburner). So I am probably just unlucky
