AW3423DWF, flickering with G-Sync and constant FPS
Hi all,
I just bought this AMD FreeSync monitor and when Nvidia G-Sync is enable (for full screen only) I get all games flickering even with capped FPS. Did I get the bad unit? Without Nvidia G-Sync is working fine. I bought it for horror games mostly. Dark. Flickering is hurting my eyes. Mostly grey, shadows. I did try different Hz but it stays the same. It can't be lfc as I'm above 80 FPS. I'm on the M3B106 firmware. Any solution?

But i bought monitor with VRR support... Why it is not working as it should? I know that with low frame compensation can flicker but not with stable 100 fps. Most games i play do not reach 165 fps. i like fidelity in graphic that is why i bought oled monitor. But flickering in every game is kinda bad. Dell should do with this in firmware updates :/

@Aureumchaos Depends on why it is flickering. I have no idea why, just know I ran it without VRR as in my user scenario VRR would add nothing of value.

Gsync is needed to have non stuttering gameplay without tearing. With FPS fluctuation for better smooth playing VRR is a must... But flickering destroy everything...
Here are video of MEA... i put in nvcp native resolution with 100Hz and 10bit. I turned on monitor OSD to see the refresh. I locked my FPS to 100 (gpu can handle up to 120). Fluctuation of refresh rate goes up to 150 and below 80 constant even with stable locked FPS with gsync and that makes flickering. Definitely DELL should do something about it.

Might be a thing with Freesync and G-sync, although I doubt it because mine does the same thing with a native AMD card.
I have a steady 100 FPS so have no issues with gameplay.

Yip same here, I have to turn off G-Sync as the flicking is horrible.

Some games are frame locked at 60 in the menus, etc. despite being able to run at 165fps in game. I do get the occasional flicker in such occasions still, but as I understand it this should not be happening unless the refresh rate falls below 48hz?

Flickering can be caused by other issues besides frame tearing due to fluctuating FPS.
A synched refresh rate does not guarantee a flicker free experience.

It does the same with Freesync Premium Pro enabled. I tried this with 4 units of this monitor.
I just use it without Freesync Premium Pro enabled as I have no issue reaching 165 Hz for the games I play on this monitor.
