Hey everyone, I recently upgraded my GPU from a GTX 1650 to a GTX 3070, and I'm noticing that my second monitor—a 19-inch display—has started flickering. I have a Ryzen 5 5600X and a B450M Gigabyte motherboard with dual monitors, a 25-inch at 165Hz and the 19-inch at 75Hz. Do you think this flickering could be a power supply issue? My current PSU is a Corsair VS550.

The flickering you're experiencing is likely new since you mentioned it started after the upgrade. If your PSU was underpowered, your entire system would probably shut down instead of just flickering. Try testing different cables or slots on the GPU and monitor first. If the flickering persists only on that specific monitor, then it might be a monitor issue itself. Good luck!
Yeah, that sounds like a good troubleshooting step. Also, have you checked if the monitor settings might be off? Sometimes a refresh rate mismatch can cause flickering too.
