New AOC Agon ag273qcx flickering at 144hz

[D1s1nformat1on]

Hi,

 

Recently picked up an AOC Agon ag273qcx and it's definitely an upgrade from what I had.

 

Upon setting it to run at 120 or 144hz, I get a horrible flickering and black screens every so often, but operates fine at 60hz.

Tried Multiple ports in the monitor/GPU, tried multiple Cables (running display port), it does it regardless of if I turn G Sync or Freesync on or off, tried running one of the "gaming" profiles (Someone suggested that elsewhere).

 

Using an Nvidia Aorus RTX 2060 Super. Build is an MSI B360 Gaming Plus / i7-8700 / 16GB 3000mhz corsair ram.

Any ideas what may be causing this? Short of taking the monitor and the GPU back to the store (Both are less than 3 months old) and having them test it, I'm not sure what else I can try unless I've missed something.

 

Thanks in Advance

the nvidia control panel is that where you're doing the g-sync settings?

i've had a problem that looks similar to the blackscreening (not the flickering) on my HP Omen 27"

this only happened when i turned g-sync ON and every time i swapped window focus or alt tabbed it blackscreened.

i never figured out what the solution is and the nvidia support just told me to update drivers and firmware (which i already had done and didn't work)

and then my pc restarted and i lost control with the live support so i'm just keeping it off and on 144Hz static

Using the Nvidia control panel to change G Sync Settings and to change the refresh rate - using the OSD on the monitor to turn Freesync on or off

the monitor is both freesync and g-sync compatibale?

because i don't think that both of them can run at the same time very well. it's like two programs telling your monitor to do something.

 

Is it only when you're on the windows homescreen it does that or also when you're in games?

It does it ALL the time (watch the video I posted to see) when running at 120 or 144 hz, works fine with no issues at 60hz

The monitor is Freesync, GPU is G Sync, but you can turn on Freesync on your monitor and G Sync at the GPU and it stops teraing if you have a recent GPU.

All that said, the issue persists regardless of which is on or off and any combination.

hmm. and you said that you checked with different cables so they are ruled out of the equation?

I think your cable is bad or not meet the requirement. Try change it. Sometimes stock cable also can be faulty as I face my G9 Neo cable is unusable and give horrible flickering.

Try get certified DP cable version 1.4 and not longer than 3 meter, recommended 2 meter. If it is more than that, a fiber DP cable is required and they is still miss and hit.
