Flickering plants in new desktop?

@graceymanors The dxdiag says the video card is set to 1080p at 60 Hz but the monitor is 144 Hz. You say the frame rate is capped (60 Hz?). Try uncapping  the frame rate and see if that helps.

Nvidia customer support told me to switch it from 60 to 144 and I tried that but it didn’t work.I originally had it set to 60fp I don’t like it any higher than that.i will try uncapping.I was always told to cap it as high FPS can ruin the card

@graceymanors  You could also try an fps limit of 72, but both that and 60 should be supported on a 144 Hz monitor.

I mentioned it in a PM a while back, and again earlier this week... or at least I pressed send, but it looks now like the PM didn't go through.  (My browser was being weird that day, and it was after midnight and I didn't feel like troubleshooting.  Sorry for that.)  Is your monitor plugged into the graphics card specifically, and not the motherboard?  If you're repeatedly plugging it into the board, that could explain why all three computers had graphics anomalies.  Even though the signal still gets through, it's not going to work as well as letting the card communicate directly with the monitor.

If this isn't the issue, please try plugging the computer into a different power outlet in a different room, at least long enough to test.

I'm pretty certain its not plugged into the motherboard.I thought the same, but the cords only fit into one spot.Here's how I have it plugged in.

I'm .

Just tested in sims 4.I have the flickering in that game as well.

@graceymanors  Yes, that's definitely the graphics card.  Could you run a dxdiag for reference?  I know what hardware you have, but it would still be useful if someone else wants to weigh in.  You'll need to upload it somewhere; this site's virus scanner is currently not letting anything through.

Have you had the chance to test a different power outlet?  I'm still wondering if the one you're using is the issue, since you had the same problem with other computers too.

No, I haven't had gotten to moving the desktop.I have an injured shoulder and my mom is disabled, so having to heave this thing around is difficult.

My DXDIAG is in the first post https://pastebin.com/VLE7R3rE

I like this desktop for the fact that I just have to open a door to access the inside of the tower, no unscrewing.I don't think its the power outlet though, my laptop worked just fine and I kept it plugged in nonstop.

I'm wondering if its just the nvidia 1650 super and the 1660 super.My laptop had 1050 ti.

Edit: I get what you're saying about my DXDIAG.

Here it is uploaded.

Could it just be the monitor? The monitor is low quality. Its very cloudy/blurry, tried multiple settings with it.

So I wasnt able to test in a new room, but what I did was switch outlets, I plugged the tower into the top outlet instead of the bottom and the monitor into the bottom..

Before swapping out

after.

The lines look better.Still have flickering though.

@graceymanors  It's hard to know exactly how much flickering is normal and how much is too much, but at least some of it is supposed to be there, as someone posted on the official forums.  I see the same thing when I move the camera, and I figure it's supposed to be demonstrating how the light changes from different angles.  When you consider that the game is old and cuts corners for the hardware that was available at the time, it's a wonder it looks as good as it does.

If you have access to a power strip, or even better a surge protector, it's a good idea to plug it into each wall socket and have a look at your game.  Since you noticed a difference between one socket and another, there's clearly something going on with the bottom outlet.  The monitor draws a lot less power than the computer itself, so the bottom outlet, but this also might be an issue of inconsistent current rather than consistenly insufficient current, in which case it would be better to have both the computer and the monitor drawing from the top outlet.  I don't really want to tell you to spend even more money, but a good surge protector can be cheap ($20-30) and is an investment in protecting your hardware.

For the flickering, I'll take another look at my game and compare it to yours more closely.  Part of the effect may be dependent on the lighting of a particular world though, so let me know what world you took the video in and I'll have a look.  One thing that might help though is playing specifically in fullscreen mode with v-sync enabled.  Flickering can also be a symptom of the monitor displaying frames unevenly, and v-sync prevents it.  But it only works in fullscreen, so if you took the video in windowed mode or without v-sync enabled, check again just to see whether it's any better.
