I have monitor AORUS AD27QD So i disabled GSYNC and enabled again and no flickering. So why it go away? But after some time it will appear again. I must reset GSYNC OFF ---> ON to remove that.

Seems like a driver bug or something to me.

Did you test different drivers? like the new DX12 Ultimate dev driver?

I installed new nvidia drivers 445.87 and now it not appearing after some time. Can new driver fixed that or just luck?

 

[CrazyT]

well, depends if it is a driver bug, which seems to me because if you say you just have to disable and re-enable GSYNC and it's gone, there must be an software related issue f.e. the driver.

So long story short: Yes, a driver can fix it... well to be honest and a "new" driver can also cause such bugs you'll never know.

But why resetting GSYNC removes that?

 

[CrazyT]

Maybe it's something like a buffer overrun, and when you deactivate GSYNC it kinda "flushes" the buffer and you have no problem enabling it, till it's "full" again

Maybe you should post over @ Guru3d and shout out to @ManuelG over there!

Anyway i am on newest drivers and this not happening anymore, so take it easy ?

 

[CrazyT]

Yes

 

[sew333]

oki thx CrazyT for explanation.

Last question. Somebody said that this can be problem with monitor gsync module. Yes?

 

[sew333]

Somebody said that this can be caused by faulty gpu or monitor. It can be true or not?

i saw a light flickering/pulsing on grey walls in game Control when fps was 45-55fps and in Quake 2 RTX on 49fps.

I disabled GSYNC flickering gone,also i enabled again GSYNC and still gone ,fine. My question is is this normal that reenabling GSYNC helped? And why i had flickering on such fps?

Hey guys. Can somebody answer me. Why i had that flickering on 445.75 drivers? To remove that flicker i disabled gsync and enabled again.

I installed 445.87 and flickering in Control gone.
