Hey folks! I recently picked up an RTX 5060 Ti with 16GB of VRAM (Shadow OC Edition 2X), and I've started noticing this peculiar issue. Occasionally, out of nowhere, half my screen flashes white for about a second. This doesn't happen often—maybe once during a long gaming session or while I'm just browsing my desktop. During these flickers, I haven't noticed any drops in FPS or performance, so it's a bit strange. I've seen others mention similar issues with flickering on other RTX 50-series cards, like the 5090 and 5070 Ti. For what it's worth, I'm using two pretty basic monitors—one at 75Hz and the other at 100Hz. Has anyone else with a 5060 Ti faced this flicker? Do you think it's an issue with the GPU, drivers, or possibly my monitors?

I’ve seen some users recommending checking for firmware updates for your GPU. NVIDIA offers a UEFI firmware update tool specifically for the RTX 5060 series, which might fix these flicker problems. It’s worth looking into!
Sounds like a classic symptom of a driver conflict or maybe even a monitor refresh rate issue. Have you tried adjusting the refresh rates for your monitors? Sometimes syncing them better can help minimize those weird screen flickers. Also, keeping an eye on overclock settings is a good shout—sometimes that can lead to unforeseen issues.
I had a similar flickering problem too! It turned out to be an issue with my drivers. I recommend reinstalling the latest GPU drivers, as it might help with those random white screen issues. It's easy to overlook, but it can make a difference. Also, make sure you're not using any aggressive overclocking settings; that could cause instability. Hope that helps!
Yeah, I faced this too! Tried the driver reinstall and it worked wonders for me. So definitely give that a shot!
I’ll definitely check that out! Thanks for the tip!
