Extreme screen flickering after updating graphics driver

Sideshow · 08-05-2013, 10:13 AM

Well I have never tried in aero mode before...
But valid point, maybe the issue is not new.

When I switch back to basic mode the video runs smoothly.

I use the VLC player. All mkv 1080p BD movies, full screen.
I only use the extended screen, the Notebook screen is off.

But anyway I hope the flickering issue will be solved once with a new driver, so I can use basic mode again, and Video performance is best again.

Hi,

To clarify, with the notebook screen off and the attached display as the primary display in basic mode you still get flicker when playing videos in VLC?. With the same setup in aero mode performance is poor when playing videos in VLC?

Are you playing the videos in full screen mode?
If you disable Accelerated video output (Overlay) in the VLC Preferences | Video Settings options do you still see the above issues?

Thanks,
James

Hi James

With the new Firmware Version 7.4 M0 the flickering Problem disappeared.
All good again!

Thanks & Cheers
