#SAMSUNG ODYSSEY G7 FLICKERING REDDIT UPDATE#

AMD may be using a 'catch all' algorithm for implementing LFC on a specific panel type and is probably not fine tuned for every specific monitor model. I'm guessing this is all due to the Radeon driver's implementation of LFC and how it handles the refresh rate timings of the monitor. What is interesting is that some users do not encounter this issue when playing the same game on a different monitor.

This tends to happen when the refresh rate flip-flops between below the minimum refresh rate range and above the minimum refresh rate range. One thing I have noticed on FreeSync is that LFC can be inconsistent and that there can be flickering in some games with some monitors. * The 32-inch version has a narrower G-Sync range compared to the 27-inch version. G-Sync range on DisplayPort = 80Hz - 240Hz * G-Sync range on DisplayPort = 60Hz - 240Hz So you might want to take note if you are using FreeSync on HDMI, FreeSync on DisplayPort, or G-Sync on DisplayPort and also if your monitor is the 27-inch version or the 32-inch version.įreeSync range on DisplayPort = 60Hz - 240Hz Note that the variable refresh rate range on the Samsung G7 varies on HDMI and DisplayPort and also varies for 27-inch version and 32-inch version. but it may point you to the right fix or solution. Have any other G7 owners had a similar experience? I need to figure out if it is fixable or if I need to replace the monitor or get a refund. You can even see it start flickering on desktop when u open a game launcher before the game is even opened. I also tested my dell s2716dg and it does not have the issue. The flickering instantly went away upon turning off adaptive sync.

It doesn’t seem to be tied to frame rate either because one game flickering was minimal around 80-100 FPS and the next it was really bad averaging 100-130. It will constantly flicker dark to light every second or 2 to the extent that I start getting motion sickness. It won’t happen every game and seems to be somewhat random, but when it is bad it’s worse than what you see in the video. I have only tested this in escape from tarkov, but this monitor has serious adaptive sync flickering issues. I like everything about it from colors to contrast to smoothness except 1 major issue. First off this thing looks amazing and I got used to the curve fairly quickly. So I received my Odyssey G7 on Thursday and I have been getting ALLOT of use out of it. I’ll try returning it this week and maybe the next panel won’t have this issue. I’m not bashing the monitor and I think it looks amazing from the curve to the colors, but adaptive sync giving me motion sickness everytime it starts flickering allot is a deal breaker for me. I haven’t spent a ton of time testing the flicker in game, but I think it’s safe to assume that if the screen is flickering when opening the launcher it will start flickering at some point while playing the game. No matter what settings I try I still see flickering when I open escape from tarkov launcher with adaptive sync enabled. I’ve also enabled gsync in windowed/full screen modes as well as swapping in game settings. I’ve tried locking refresh rate at both 144 and 240. I’ve also tried with 8bit and 10 bit colors enabled in Nvidia control panel. I have tried installing the firmware from Samsung’s Korean website, installed drivers, tried with local dimming and dynamic brightness on monitor both on and off.
