Ye, can imiagine, its this or that with something new with windows/pc,
i have no idea nomore where the problems lays, motherboard, windows (WDM),
Drivers, FPS, VSYNC…who knows, thank for all the efforts still

Greets,
Elvis

Thanks but i give up with all this crap, makes me all depressed and mentally tired
off all those efforts pass weeks, i dont give up easy, AMD can do that i geuss
even there are ppl running 290 fine etc etc etc….this is my experience not them…
when SVP ever will suppourt kepler/maxwell its back to nvidea asap,
and this GPU goes on sale this weekend the GTX 670 goes back in…
unbelievble all…thanks for the thinking and suggestions.

I appreciate you answers and thinking but this is really not a codec problem
i thought after a few weeks of google i read everything, now i find about this
and google “extended display low fps” i finnaly read things with my so called
specific problem, i am not the only one…

i just finded out with FRAPS and recording IN DUAL monitor setup everything is fine, stays both at 60fps, its for sure the extended mode, i always seen a one time flicker to on windows log-on, thought i was seeying flickers by now, but i am not, recorded desktop to..same crazy flicker while i dont see it, must be a VSYNC problem i think…no idea nomore

I did get a tip form the Sony forum to grab video:

I see now the opposites whats happening, its screen flickering all the time because
of the low FPS (30 on vegas and 60 on external) ?!

I only see the flickering when clicking the media but it is reverse what i see i think…:

Could that be it?

Yes was googling again today for PCI-e test software and what chipset/drivers
uses those slots, goes a bit to far now all for me,
as far i could read it’s the X97 chipset and the CPU that controls the pci-e slots or something, i try’d older drivers..and i have to use drivers from 15.7
on now as of the new 3xx series… but ye..wow.. 550e spended now…for what.. 🙁

UPDATE:

I did may choose a other GPU or a replacement as they couldn’t
test the card for my specific problem (no software for it).

Anyway, almost went back to NVIDIA but it was no GPU acceleration in SVP13 because of Kepler/Maxwell chips or AMD again and no CUDA for After Effects,
i love and always will SVP so back to AMD, i have now a Sapphire Nitro 390 8GB because of they still have the Grenada/hawaii chip set for GPU acceleration.

I bought a new PSU to (corsair 1000w), bought HDMI/DVI-D/DP cables,
try’d every thinkable monitor setup (excluded even monitors and try’d HD TV’s).

Installed different drivers with and without Catalyst, just to be sure.
Changed BIOS settings (no OC, GEN 1/2/3 etc.).

And guess what…same thing, it is less in after effects but still flashing/flickering when choosing a media file, in SVP it still same
but what i noticed is that when i use external video monitor VIA the trimmer
(never used the trimmer) then its less to but still flashing/flickering both monitors after selecting/previewing several media/files…

Well..shoot me…

PS: I did windows experience test..all good

[Elvis Poldervaart]

Yes…it’s under investigation right now at the shop, so hopefully
i get a new or other GPU, if they say the card is fine and just
return that GPU then i won’t order there ever again.

i just read something about MANTLE to:

https://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/technologies-gaming/mantle#overview

maybe the problem lays there with the bad GPU acceleration,
Or it’s the standard GPU’s OC (overclocked) problem, to much power
consumption could be still i read to as my PSU is 3yrs old…

Oh well… have to wait till they call, just hope it’s bad GPU and
it is not after all my PSU or something i didn’t think of.

[Elvis Poldervaart]

Haha…no of-course not… with “external preview monitor” i mean the “secondary display”…all those terms is making me nuts/confusing,
and my lack of good English properly:)

[Elvis Poldervaart]

Yes…what am i supoused todo then if the problems are there
after everything is “default” and doesn’t work anyway,
i never had to play with those settings either,
past week was a world opening for me to…
VSYNC, Hz, FPS, Lag, screen tearing, flickering, Freesync, Psysx, etc.

But this is all pretty clear by now and not the point of this thread.
I just hope they test the GPU on same setup (2monitors in extended)
and a “windowed” program that uses a external preview monitor (fullscreen)
and that the techincal department have the “problem” to.

Have to wait a few days.
