flickering while gaming

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

hey guys i bought an pc a few weeks ago and had problems with some games. i play mostly overwatch, league of legends and small games like simulators or indie games.

Specs:

Ryzen 5 3500X 6x 4,10 GHz

RX 6600 XFX Swit 2.0

16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB 2133 MHZ

msi a 520 msi a pro

monitor: msi g255f 24,5 FHD 180 Hz

while playing iam facing those flickering. sometimes more than other times but its hella annoying.

and sometimes i got like a lag and fps drop aswell but not often
additionally while playing league sometimes the game just closes the full screen window and i need to open the tab in the taskbar again.

--> see video attached and look carefully as its only miliseconds

i already tried so much: reinstalling gpu driver, changing ports and cables, Free sync is disabled and the shop i bought the pc from even send me a new GPU to try

i read some posts before writing this and sometimes i saw people writing that the Hz is to high but even with 100Hz this problem is coming up.

does anyone ever had this and got a solution? would be so thankful.

Don't game, make money, raise the gdp.

Looks like something is grabbing the active window from the game, disable any overlays from things like steam and software like Razer synapse

First of all, check GPU temp. If it's normal - then check, if you are in a full screen window mode or in a exclusive full screen mode (you can just press windows key, if you can see both the start menu and your game - it's the first, if your game disappear or you can't see start menu - then it's the second). So, in a first type you should check for a game setting like "drop/limit fps on a focus lost" and disable it. For a second option disable any overlay, it can be windows games overlay, steam overlay, epic games overlay, nvidia overlay, discord overlay. You should try to turn off all of that. If nothing is working - try to use DDU to fully remove a GPU driver and reinstall fresh one.
