That's still very playable. Really had to squint to notice it.

 

Yeah that blows man. I know new catalyst drivers on enroute for Freesync support. Maybe there's a fix in there. In the meantime, maybe try a straight DP cable without the conversion. Good quality one at that. 

 

I'm interested in this monitor myself. Hope it gets resolved. 

 

Keep us posted...

I don't have another graphics card that has a Display Port connection so I cannot test a straight connection

However, I just bought a high-quality gold plated cable that states 1.2 display port connection The one I have at the moment may be an older version of DP.

Will keep you posted. It arrives tomorrow.

Good man. You may already be aware but you are not alone in your flicker issues:

Well thanks for never coming back to let us know.  I am having a very similar problem.  I've scoured the internet trying everything that i've come across and nothing seems to work.  I cannot get the flicker to stop.  I even made a reddit post requesting help (which noone has responded to of course.)

Hi guys, I had some flicker on the monitor and was searching the web, found this topic, I know it's an old one but maybe it will help someone in the future - I resolved my flicker problem by just going in the monitor settings and resetting them back to factory settings. No more flicker for me.
Good luck!
