LBenny91 just changing the GPU will solve my issue

According to this forum, 1660s is good. It helps you. But in my setup, 1151v2 also was more comfortable than 1700 keeping same comfortable GPU

      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.

          LBenny91 lga1700 with rtx 20gen than 30gen though?

          My ranking:

          z390 > z690

          gtx1060, rtx2070s > rtx3080ti/3080

          old 1080p benq > new 2k165hz

          and win10 1809 build 17763.1098, of course

              simplex

              Well I have the 1660s in my hands now. Will begin to test it soon.

              My monitor is old 1080p benq as well. But I am on windows 11…

              I am praying that the 1660s will just be enough that I don't have to change anything else.

                  you need to clean nvram also, remove CMOS battery for 30 min to clear rtx30 rendering settings

                      Ok I removed the CMOS battery. Will wait 30 minutes and try to boot the system with 1660s inside.

                      I did try the 1660s in there already for 10 minutes or so, and i don't know if it felt any different 😐. Should I download latest nvidia drivers also?

                          LBenny91 Should I download latest nvidia drivers also?

                          Use DDU to completly uninstall old driver + card settings, after that reboot and install driver again ( check flag "clean install" activated )

                              Well I didn't use DDU but i did uninstall the driver already.

                              I have removed the battery for now. When I reboot i will download new driver for the 1660s and see how it goes.

                              How do I check this flag thing? I am bad at computers sorry …

                                  LBenny91 How do I check this flag thing

                                  when you install driver, select non-auto installation, and then check the flag in bottom

                                    simplex

                                    I have installed the driver now. Did it without DDU…is that a really big problem? Shall I do the whole process again?

                                        simplex

                                        Will test for a few days like this. Not sure yet how I feel. Will take the rest of today off and go back to it tomorrow.

                                        Will keep you updated. Thanks for the help 🙂

                                          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.

                                                  LBenny91
                                                  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.)

                                                      LBenny91 I developed a condition during my extreme sessions

                                                      It could be, I also blamed my safe benq after uncomfortable hardware, I call this " tail " condition ( your nerve still tensed even when irritant has gone )

                                                          qb74

                                                          I'm pretty sure the panel is identical. It's a lot more tolerable than the IPS panels that i returned but it's still not perfect. I still don't think it has anything to do with the panel though.

                                                          I have bought a 1660 super GPU for testing over the next week or so. Hopefully the 3060ti may have been the cause of my issue. I have seen many complaints about it on other posts here.

                                                            Yeah I am keeping the residual effects of eye strain in mind. I have 14 days with this new GPU so i will test it extensively over the next week or so.

                                                              I suspect the GPU and it’s unfortunate. I still use a 10 series nvidia as it’s my only safe option.
