Screen Flicker at 144Hz

I bought an MSI Optix MAG271CQR a few months ago and am embarrassed to admit that I just discovered it was running a 60Hz (it was my first high refresh screen, so I didn't realize what I was missing). I changed the setting to 144Hz and can really see a difference!

 

The only downside is that I sometimes notice a slight flicker in the screen, typically right as a game is starting. It is hard to describe, but it almost looks like the screen's brightness setting is rapidly flipping between 75% and 100%. I have noticed this in multiple games, but never at the Windows desktop.

 

The screen is fine at 60Hz and fine at 144Hz 95% of the time. I don't have another 144Hz screen to test with.

 

Any suggestions?

 

GPU is a RTX 2070 Super with G-Sync enabled, monitor connected via DisplayPort cable included with it.
