Some of you guys on reddit try hard to make someone else’s thread look bad. He fixed he’s daughter’s monitor a month ago and wanted to share his expertise online.

He’s an IT professional trying to make it big. So for the early comments saying he's clueless and he doesn’t know what he's talking about try explaining how it worked for me huh? The guy seemed pretty cool.

He wasn’t saying G-Sync or Freesync was the issue, he was telling you VRR was the issue which was on the monitor side not the software controlling it. And it doesn’t give you the right to say “That’s not it” or “It cant be that” or “You're looking at it the wrong way.” Because the solution actual worked for me. JUST because THIS problem doesn’t exist for YOU doesn’t mean the solution won't work for someone ELSE. Alright so let me just make this crystal clear. He took the post down cuz some of you guys were arguing back n forth for no reason it irritated him and I have to admit it was kinda a dick move. This is another user’s who gave permission to use his post. Also to the guys who started an argument with the original owner, I think you own him an apology. I saw a fix online and just want to spread the message to help others whose been through the struggle.

I don’t even use reddit or other social media sites so I’m turning off notifications. To be honest I probably won’t even monitor this thread or look at it later. If you disagree, please don’t argue with me or bomb the thread, I’m not the original writer and you won’t get a response from me I promise. He said to set the monitor to a maximum of 183Hz if your gaming with 10bit color. Also, the original poster mention that DP 1.4 has a bandwidth of 8.10gbs per channel and that It could be a bottleneck. It's a simple fix either it works for you or it doesn't. I played pupg, fornite and modern warfare and didn’t see it come back. Once I turned off VRR the screen stopped doing weird stuff. I also tried doing the “above 80 fps” thing by lowering my graphics settings in games to maintain above 80fps and the flickering/blacking in and out or whatever you want to call it also ceased.

I notice this as we’ll on my monitor when gaming under 80fps but I used it with vsync instead. Yes, yes, yes Lfc may kick in to help stop tearing but behind this simultaneously, the screen will also black in and out, and I think that’s where he was trying to get to and why people missed it. I spoke to him after he deleted the post and told me it was the flickering, the screen blacking in and out he was trying to refer to VRR and not. But screen tearing is just the ugly line that passes horizontally across the monitor from mismatch frames. But lfc is designed to minimalize screen tearing. I think the massive confusion was that people thought he was referring to low frame rate compensation when mentioning the 80-240 hertz range. Let me first start off by saying the problem is NOT G-Sync or Freesync. The only way to fix this is either turn-off VRR and enable software vsync OR find a way to keep your fps above 80 at all times with VRR enabled.” Samsung engineers set the VRR minimum refresh rate too high.

It's because is trying to 'sync' to something it can't. That means if you have enabled, and your fps falls out of that range, your screen will flicker (Not the tearing part! LFC ). According to the Nvidia website, the G7 has a VRR of 80-240 Hz. “The Reason G7 flickers is because the falls out of alignment from the variable refresh rate. I'll try to reword his post the best I can. He wanted someone who witnessed his fix to repost and give insight. He removed the post quickly because some of the people who commented tried to start a battleground for arguments. I got permission to repost this from Horror_offer_2593 from another thread.
