Question / Help Flickering in OBS but not XSplit (C127) video comparison inside

I've been using the AVerMedia Game Broadcaster HD (C127) for over a year in a dedicated streaming PC but I recently moved to a 1 PC set up with the capture card in my main PC. Since then the signal from my C127 has flickered in OBS but XSplit is fine. RECcentral has the flickering as well but to a less extent

I've tried capturing from my Wii U, PS3 and XBox 360 and they all have the same flickering in OBS. I've tried different HDMI cables.

Since it's fine in one software and not the other I'm thinking it's a configuration issue. I've been playing with the settings a lot in OBS, frame rates, resolution, the AVerMedia crossbar PAL/NTSC. Any ideas what more I could try? Does the flickering point to any setting in particular?

Thanks.

I've been at this for two days now, any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Flickering appears sometimes in XSplit now. I've tried different resolutions (seems worse at higher resolutions), different frame rates. I can stream PC game perfectly fine from the PC itself, OBS has no problems there.

What does setting the different video standards mean, I've tried all the PAL and NTSC settings but never seen any difference. I'm in Europe, PS3 is bought here, 360 is bought here but the Wii U I got from Amazon US, it's all HDMI. Is PAL/NTSC still relevant?

Should the OBS frame rate match the Hz output of the console? For Example the 360 said it's at 720p 50z. So I should try to match that in OBS? I tried that but no change.

Is OBS fine with Windows 8.1 64bit?

Should I try the C127 in a different slot on the motherboard?

I'll try putting the card back into my old streaming machine (Windows 7 64bit) it was working fine there a few days ago.
 
its might be the hz difference as youve stated try changing the hz of the refresh to match
obs is fine in 64 bit on 8.1 as im using it atm
it might be the capture card itself too
 
I would definitely try a different slot in the motherboard. I've had issues in the past with my Blackmagic intensity pro simply not working in certain motherboard slots.
 
I tried a different slot, no dice. Same flickering. Next up, piecing the old machine back together. Stay tuned...
 
It certainly sounds strange. My first thought is that it might be something weird with the HDMI cable, though I know you said it works in other programs/computers. Very odd.
 
I put in a Blackmagic Intensity Pro I had lying around and so far that's been working flawlessly. F-ing hardware problems.
