Hello!

My friend has recently bought MSI 271QRX and heexperiences some weird flicker that I have never seen before It doesn't look like classic near black OLED/LG flicker

Video attached: https://streamable.com/sjdlyk

Settings used: 360 Hz, G-Sync On, V-Sync On in control panel

Bad cable? Tried different DPs and HDMIs
Bad monitor firmware?

Turn off overdrive in the monitor OSD and see if that helps. It's recommended to disable overdrive anyway with his display.

Can't find it in monitors settings? Are you sure?

I was going by what the rtings review said, which is "Recommended Overdrive Setting: No Overdrive". I misunderstood that as a recommendation to disable overdrive. But apparently what it means is that this display has no overdrive.

Update (forgot to post)

It was nvidia framelimiter misbehaving, FPS lock didn't lock work properly and FPS/frame time fluctuated a lot causing flicker

Fixed after reinstalling drivers with DDU

As far as I'm aware most if not all OLEDs out now have no overdrive setting.

Thanks for letting us know how you fixed it. I will also try it as you did. But I will try it a little later. Because right now, I want to help my sister with her essay assignments. I already found https://academized.com/write-my-thesis website where I found an essay writer who will write thesis assignments for me. And when I am done with her assignments, after that I will try it and I will update you, if I face any issues.
