New to this sub but thought I'd make a post looking for advice! I'm desperate for help with this it has ruined my life…
I upgraded my PC in February of this year from a pre-build that I bought back in 2020. The pre build was a i3-9100f CPU paired with a GTX1650 running on Win10. I used it daily for years (6+ hours) without issue. The monitor I used with it was a BenQ XL2411P (TN, 144Hz) and it was a flawless experience without any eye strain whatsoever.
I treated myself to an upgrade this year and built it myself. It is an i5-12400f paired with an ASUS RTX3060Ti. I also upgraded the monitor. I went from the BenQ to an LG27GP850, then to an MSI, both IPS fast panels that seemed to destroy my eyes. I returned them both and rebought my old BenQ XL2411P and still it hurts my eyes. It's a little better than the LG/MSI, but after i come off of the PC i feel dizzy for days. I am infact concerned I did long term damage with the previous MSI monitor as it gave me an extreme bout of vertigo which is also why I returned it. I am feeling dizziness on and off for months now.
Does anybody here have any idea what is causing this? Is it my GPU? Win 11? Can it even be motherboard related as I've seen some people say on other posts? I just want to be able to enjoy my PC again…
I would greatly appreciate any advice. I'm willing to test other GPUs, if there's anything anyone can recommend. I am tired of it and just want to use my PC again without issue. I have bags under my eyes from eye strain. It's destroying me and I don't know what to do.
Thanks for reading and i hope someone who has experienced similar can offer some advice.
