Eye Strain For Months After PC Upgrade

this. I think LGA1700 uses some kind of colortransform to achieve wide colorspaces
GPU also problematic. I tried many times/settings to marry z390 + rtx30 gen, no success. z690 increase strain with rtx30 gen compared for z390 ( in details, pixel moving or image stutter increase your eye-pressure, then it goes to pain in temples and migraine )
After half-year I sold almost all uncomfortable equipment

So you think there's a chance that just changing the GPU will solve my issue?
For me the issue is more neurological (dizziness, vertigo, brain fog) rather than actual pain.
Tomorrow I will buy a 1660 super to test it. I can return it within 14 days so I should good to test it out. If the problem still persists maybe I'll change my motherboard and stuff too…what a pain!

I will try the 1660s and see how it goes.
So you had more comfort still in lga1700 with rtx 20gen than 30gen though? Also I know for sure my screen is not my problem as I used it previously for many years with no issues. It is definitely something in my PC. Just hope that changing my GPU will solve it.

I would take a look at raw monitor specifications over the potential software issues you're exploring (most people fall in the category of just disliking subtle flicker or color gamut of new displays)
Consider going for WOLED (OLED) or WLED (LCD) monitors, preferably 240hz since 144hz is archaic.
For example, XL2411K, EX240, EX2510, 24G2ZU(Z or ZE), XG2431, VG259QM, MAG251RX, PG259QN, AW2521H, AW2523HF if 1080p LCD
(check post history for 1440p high hz section)

But why would I be fine on the XL2411P for 4 years and now suddenly after I've upgraded my PC it's giving me issues? In-between that i did use the LG27GP850 and MSI MAG274QRF-QD and also tried an Acer XB271HU, all of them didn't help so now I'm back to my XL2411P.
The BenQ is better but still not tolerable for daily use really. I'm at a loss, I think the issue is system based rather than monitor but who really knows. Maybe I developed a condition during my extreme sessions of eye strain/vertigo on those bad monitors.

Interesting. I'm unaware whether BenQ has the practice of ninja-swapping panels in on-sale models (such as on the XL2411P), but that can be an option (meaning your previous and current monitor could still differ)
Have you experimented with HDMI vs DisplayPort and/or changing bit depth in Nvidia drivers?
Perhaps even play around with monitor timings using CRU (perhaps using exact reduced timings, using displayid1.3 standard etc.)
