Why is my gamer picture flickering and game so laggy?

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

Good morning

There are some possible causes, such as a problem with the image cable (hdmi) or with the xbox integrated card, try changing the cable, if this does not solve it, you will need an analysis by a technician, unfortunately, Microsoft no longer repairs these models for some years.

To add, my cable box picture does not do this when directly connected, as well as my xbox one's picture does not flicker in any other menu or in game

Hi Isaiah! I'm Rostom, an Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you here.

When did this issue start to occur? Does it occur only when you're playing games? Does it happen to all of your games?

I suggest that you try all the steps here on this link https://support.xbox.com/help/games-apps/troubl...

Please also troubleshoot your network connection because it could also be a factor why we got that issue.

The explanation is simpler still.

.

Traditional CRT screens flickered. As the picture was drawn on screen, it quickly started fading out again before the next picture was drawn. The persistence of vision in the eye negated some of the flicker, but it was still enough that the eye was purged
of each picture pretty fast. As a result, 60 fps games appeared super smooth and 30 fps games appeared fairly smooth.

.

LCDs, as well as plasmas with higher drive rates as MDA mentioned, lack this flicker. This means each picture stays on the retina for longer and causes them to stack up. When there is little to no motion blur as in many games, the pictures don't flow together
very well and you see the individual frames overlapping, and motion appears juddery.

hello there

doesnt your personal picture and gamerpic pretty much the same thing? so when changing it shouldnt it also change too?

That's what I'm trying to figure out, why my personal picture doesn't change when I change my gamer picture. I read somewhere that your personal picture was visible to yourself and friends only and your gamer picture was what showed up to all others (obviously
if they are the same picture, everybody sees the same thing). My dilemma is that when I go to change my gamer picture, I have to then repeat it for my personal picture (right below the gamer picture option on your profile in dashboard). For most people, changing
your gamer picture automatically changes your personal picture, but not for me... and I'd like to know how to fix that.
