Freesync Flickering Display - Huawei MateView GT

[KhaderKh]

Hi,

 

I recently bought relatively cheap UW 3440x1440 VA monitor from Huawei which is the Mateview GT, Good UW monitor for the price. 

 

I noticed that in some game there is screen flicker specially in bright areas like blue skies and in games like Anno 1800 and Planet Zoo, I dont noticed it in AC Valhalla or Dirt Rally 2.0

 

Even if frames in mid 80s and 90s which is within freesync range (No LFC) I still notice the flickering.

 

When I turn off the freesync the issue disappears, I didnt notice tearing of increased lag when freesync off.

 

Anyway to reduce flickering? I'm fine keeping Freesync off since I dont notice a change between on and off, but If I can reduce flickering with Freesync on it would be better.

 

Thanks.

Check if your monitor has different game modes, f.e FPS (First-Person-Shooter) game mode, RTS game mode... If it has them, just not run an FPS game mode.

Some manufacturers make FPS game modes that turn off and on pixels for some reason that I dont understand (that surely has an explanation).

 

Also check if you are not running FreeSync + Adaptative Sync. Disable Adaptative Sync since it has a LOT of bugs.

 

Also check that you don't have enabled some strange mode like 1MS time response. In my LG this mode makes the screen flick.

 

f.e this modes make my screen flicker.

I will try your suggestion regarding modes. Vsync is always off. I run Freesync and FPS Limiter to screen hz - 2

Sorry I said Adaptative Sync and its called Enhanced Sync. Enhanced Sync is NOT VSync.

 

I *guessed* that your GPU is an AMD GPU.

 

If it is: check this to be OFF

ok lmk if your changing your screen mode fixes that.

 

In my case as I said before, my LG had those gamemodes that I showed in the picture on the first post. FPS1 made my screen flicker. Same for the 1MS motion blur option.

Changing my game mode and disabling 1MS motion blur fixed the issue for me. 

 

I know they are two different monitors but it could be something related.
