    Hi! Ive got a big problem i need help with asap!
    Something is wrong with the performance of my computer. Sometimes (usually when working with heavy visual programs like touchdesigner or adobe) My screen flickers and drops down in performance.

    I just noticed something when working in touchdesigner, i just made a very simple system to generate visuals. No drops in fps all good and fine, but then when i view a node in the end of the chain (it brings up a window to view whats happening) It drops the framerate to like 6 fps sometimes, when it should easily be at 60 fps.
    I think and noticed this drop of performance is connected to viewing of screens because it usually leads the screen to flicker in a slight color intensity.

    Also like when watching youtube clipps, like before i even go in fullscreen mode. If i hover my courser on tthe small window screen showing the video. it changes the color then when hovering away from the screen it changes back to the orignial color intensity.

    First i thought it was a bug with the pantone calibration but now i dont think this is the case. This also happens sometimes when using an external screen or using a projector to show visuals ( so using several screens at the same time)
    Sorry if im not being clear, but this is what i have gatherd. It really bums me out and gets me frustrated, i just want to focus on my creative work! Help!

    It should be at the power savings panel indeed. Cant check it now but I till saw it in the latest drivers so it should be there somewhere.

    I had a similar issues that red's would flicker to a different tint of red depending on the mouse movement. But I noticed that it only happened when the iGPU was activated but not when the Geforce was activated. After some research I found it was a panel self refresh incompatibility. Turned it off and it was fixed.

    Ah sweet! i hope it will be an easy fix as it was for you. As i said above my performance slows down really bad when this happens, so it makes sense that its struggling between graphics or something like that (not a tech guy). But i cant find the SPR setting, :/

    Tried different drivers for both intel and nvidia, no luck. really frustating. No one else has this problem? For having a really good and new pc witch has been better then all my other computers before, it really is slow and gets fps dropps that are ridicilous, the screen flickering is also annoying...
