G Sync non-compatible Freesync monitor flicker fix

In short: use latest drivers, and try lowering refresh rate.
(Remember, Displayport is required)

If flickering is still noticeable, try some of the tips here:

.... otherwise it might be unavoidable, as per this article:

... in which case, might as well go max refresh rate and disable gsync... tearing at 144Hz is nowhere near as bad as it was at 60Hz back in the day, and better than eye-straining flicker.

What an absolute legend! Fixed my flickering issue completely

Thank you man, i've been looking for a fix for this for hours. Tried various methods but none of them worked, and while this method didn't eliminate the issue, it's been reduced by a pretty significant amount, to a point that it's pretty tolerable now.

It's actually gone, ty bro saving this for another time.

You fixed my problem thank you sooo much!!! Have had the flicker for the whole time I had that on I’ve tried everything to fix it

[Old-Boy_BEbop]

dude your a legend this totally fixed the black flickering of my monitor during load times or when the gsync and vsync was 1 frame lower than my monitors refresh rate... meaning my monitor is 100, 120, 144... if i have 100hz gsync and vsync would hover at 100hz or 99hz... and every time it went to 99hz it will flicker black.

I use custom resolution utility seems to work for me

iv had a gsync monitor for 6 years now and havent been able to use the feature because of how bad the flickering is, about to just buy a new monitor at this point

I have a 144hz monitor, should I set the hz to 117 as shown in the video?

[Rakistrakis]

Worked for me, thanks a bunch! not perfect but a noticable difference.

This is not a fix, this is a compromise.
If your monitor has flickering with gsync, chances are it's just a bad monitor and all you can do is mitigate the problem.
You can lower the maximum framerate like this, or you can decrease the range in which gsync is actually active in Custom Resolution Utility.

i dont have gsync set up on my control panel ???

[Thex-W.I.T.C.H.-xMaster]

G-Sync will flicker when I use HDR... otherwise it's not doing this. It was a problem on my old monitor two, altho I just got a 1440p monitor my old 4K monitor did it two. Not sure what is happening with HDR and G-Sync.

It fixed thank you so mutch my lg ultragear was doing weird

[LawrenceACD]

My screen is also having ann issue where if i enable gsync theres a slight vertical transparent line appearing on my screen, whats it called?

[LawrenceACD]

I turned on the gsync and freesync premium already, should i also turn on the vsync ingame and on ncp or not?

I have tried this method and it was successful, but to modify what you said, the success rate is 95% and not 99%, because sometimes flickering occurs, but in a simple and non-continuous manner only for moments, and it is possible that every hour of play occurs once or twice flickering (note that I do not speak English and I am an Arab and this google translate to english)

[gelo]

this actually helped me! <3 thank you!

[kenkusagami]

when u paid for 165hz, but u only can get 120hz, so those companies have false advertise refresh rate to attract customers.

[zahivee]

i have an acer nitro vg270 monitor which has a refresh rate of 165hz but i cant use it because it started to flicker and only way the flickering stops is when i lower my hz and now i use 75 hz for this but idk if this video applies to fix it but do you have any tips for me

[LowBudgetSimpsonClips]

lol for everyone that has a VA panel dont listen to this dude if u want to fix the flickering download cru and change ur freesync range till the flickering stops this is how it fixed the issue.
